Gathering all of the information you need
Start by Speaking with your Parents, meeting with the College Center, Searching the Web & Naviance, Speaking with your teacher and other students. Make a list of schools and majors that you find interesting. Normally this occurs at the end of your junior year into the start of your senior year. Remember to take advantage of a few college visits through the college center in your junior year and into your senior year. Art schools will often give you a portfolio review if you ask. Make sure to write a follow-up thank you email.
