Art grad school?

i was wondering what my chances are of getting into a good grad school for painting (also some illustration, i want to do children's books)


i'm from arkansas, senior finishing a degree in fine arts, and i have a 3.75. i've won several awards, and recieved scholarships to KCAI and MCA when i applied to undergraduate schools (but i couldn't afford to live out of state at that time) i've also headed arts programs at Girl's Inc and Hospice.


i'm not really looking at going to a snotty school like RISD, but more like university of georgia, cal state-fullerton, indiana, or seattle. (or if i was to pick a snotty school, i wouldn't mind going to the Art Institute of Chicago)


anyhoo, i was just wanting some advice on how to get into a great grad school and some steps i should take to help my chances. i'm planning on taking at least a year off to get some money since my parents aren't rich. Thank ya!

Sounds like you have laid some pretty great groundwork.


I would make sure you have a good portfolio and keep it updated while you are taking time off from school. I don't think you will have any problems getting into whatever school you choose.





Congratulations and good luck!
