Judging solely off his GPA and his SAT scores, Brian seems to be just another average Asian boy. It wasn’t until he was in middle school that he realized he had a liking for art. When Brian became a freshman, he took Drafting instead of Art I, due to the difficulty in being selected for the latter. However, when he became a junior, he was able to convince the art teacher to let him skip into Art 3.
At first, Brian had no idea how to even start an art portfolio. Even without a private art teacher, he was utilized all the resources available to him at his high school and produced an incredibly creative portfolio. The end result? Brian was accepted by every school he applied to.
Brian attended a very competitive high school. In the midst of peers who had strong academic accolades, how did his parents help him express his talents?
Even if you’re not appling to an art school, an art portfolio can bolster your college application and help you stand out. Don’t have years of art experience? That’s ok! You can still make an art portfolio even for those top colleges and make your application shine.
从GPA和SAT上看，
他从11年级开始准备他的Art portforlio时，还没什么主意。
身在一个竞争性很强的高中，面临学业的，同伴的等各种压力，
他是一个非常谦虚低调的学生。
