[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone comment on aid, scores and getting into SAIC (School of the Art Institute in Chicago)?  My daughter took the SAT as a practice back in November and scored 1420 as a "just starting" sophomore.  She currently has a 3.9 unweighted GPA and is taking very close to the hardest courses available to her.  She is interested in going to the Art Institute.  I know they'll give us some need aid, but given that tuition is 50K+ a year, and room and board is 15K a year, it's a lot.  
We'll take her other places to look, but any advice.  [/quote]

I don’t know anything in particular about SAIC, but my impression just from my own child’s experience is that a very strong portfolio combined with higher-than-normal-for-art-school academics can yield a lot of merit aid. Mine had that combo (1500+ SAT and 4.4 GPA with 13 APs, and what appeared to be a strong portfolio) and got a lot of merit $ from Pratt and Parsons and a decent amount from RISD. Ended up (to our surprise) choosing a large research univ to do a double major in art/science.  Good luck!![/quote]
