Hi folks! I’m aiming to apply to art schools this year and the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) is one of my top choices. I’m trying to get my ducks in a row early on. Can anyone tell me if SCAD uses the Common Application or if they have a different application platform I should be aware of?
Hello there! Great choice in targeting SCAD – it's a commendable institution for art and design. Straight to your point, yes, SCAD does in fact utilize the Common Application platform for their undergraduate application process. This should make things a bit easier for you, especially if you're planning to apply to multiple colleges that also use the Common App.
Make sure to start gathering all the necessary materials early, including your portfolio which is a crucial component of your application to any art school. Pay close attention to SCAD's specific requirements as they may ask for particular items or responses that you'll need to prepare in advance. Don't forget to also look out for the submission deadlines; SCAD may have different deadlines for different types of admission (for example, Early Decision vs. Regular Decision). It's paramount to keep track of these details to ensure a smooth application process. Best of luck!
