“I worked very hard in high school so thatNov 08 2010Video/Media
I worked very hard in high school so that grades wouldn't hinder me when choosing what school was right for me. Actually because I took all AP classes, I was able to transfer in a lot of credit and that has opened up many electives for me to take so I can specialize more in my major. Also because of my tests scores and GPA, I received one of the highest scholarships they offer at SCAD. I highly recommend not slacking off your senior year and working your absolute hardest so that you can receive a scholarship and money won't be the deal-breaker in your decision for what college you will attend because SCAD really is a fabulous school.

“I transferred to SCAD from Polk Community College whereMay 22 2009Design Arts - Industrial Design/Graphic Design/etc
I transferred to SCAD from Polk Community College where I was heavily involved in Phi Theta Kappa, the International Honor Society of Two-Year Colleges. It helps being involved at your school or any other organization because that show SCAD that you are a well-rounded individual and not just a smart person with a 4.0 GPA but no people-skills.

Also, it helps your record a lot if you submit a portfolio even if it's not stated anywhere on the application. This will give SCAD a visual on your work, and SCAD wants the best of the best.

And most of all, be aware of the application and scholarship deadlines.I started my application to SCAD a year before I even graduated from Polk Community College. The earlier you start the application process, the better.

Research, research, RESEARCH! Your parents may be investing their money into whatever college you decide to go to, but you are investing your time and efforts.
