My process for picking out schools started with me looking close to home (dc). I liked wvu because the print prof had a lot of straight-up printmaking. I visited and it had a good feel to it. Initially I wasn't planning on applying to any big name schools, but one of my undergrad professors told me I should apply to the top-tier schools.
I will link up some of my work, but right now I'm posting from and iPod, and it seems too complicated.
In other news, I'm not really expecting an acceptance to Tyler, but I've been obsessively checking my application status, and it says "complete ready for review"...does that mean they haven't looked at it? Someone said they already made their decisions!
