[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going to assume this isn't a "this is anxiety" situation, and actually did apply to wrong schools.

1. Don't you still have RD schools to come?
2. Apply to more schools. Baylor, Wooster, Drew,  [b]RISD[/b], Rollins, Sewanee, Michigan .. there are a host of schools w Feb 1 due dates and even more with March and April dates.
3. Apply to schools abroad. Other than the most highly selective schools, UK schools can still be applied to. One app for 5 schools via UCAS. European schools too.
4. Gap year. [/quote]

Uh, no.

RiSD is a specialized school that has absolutely nothing in common with the ones you mentioned - and has a <20% acceptance rate.[/quote]

oops - this flew over your head. Sewanee and MI have little in common. Rollins and Wooster have little in common. RISD and Baylor have little in Common. What they all have in common is a Feb 1 application date which WAS THE POINT.  A wide variety of schools at every price and selectivity level are still accepting applications. [/quote]

OPs kid's academic profile isn't applying to a school like RISD.  Dummy.[/quote]

did the OP say the academic profile?

(also, not PP, but academic profile at RISD isn't that selective. my kid got in a ACT of 30 last year. it's the portfolio that matters)[/quote]

How about it's a selective ART school and OP hasn't mentioned anything at all about art in the 7 schools DD got accepted to?

Common sense folks.

Don't pull any / all schools with a February due date out your a** and think that does it.

And yes, since it's an ART school, a great portfolio would help, wouldn't it?
