经历了转学大折腾，整个人现在都精神了被折腾的。前两年的努力终于看见了成果。申请的学校，包括对这些学校的了解也慢慢的清晰起来。最终拿到了School of Visual Arts 最高奖学金。并且可以从第三年开始了。PARTT也申请了。这个学校的变态举措就是，不管你问他们任何转学的问题他们只有一个回答就是看我们的官网。按步骤进行。态度及其差劲！无语了。只是仗着一些威望就那么狂。。唉。真要命。还需要你的高中学分。中国的也要。像我这样一半在美国高中。一半在中国高中的。纠结死我了。但是他们的态度和一些举动实在是没法说了。。真的不知道他们在搞什么东西。罗德岛是设计者的梦想。但是高昂的学费和转学生要从第一年开始读（这不神经么）这样的规矩也是谁也耗不起的。Maryland Institute College of Art Graphic Design 的设计院也是不错的。他们的态度也很好。和SVA一样很耐心。即使他们也是顶级的设计院。但是会很NICE,,,California Institute of the Arts也不错。但是太远了！芝加哥设计院也不错的。他们的设计院环境很好，教育的方式很开化。作品也都不错。就是太远。太冷。。哈哈哈！还是纽约好~离家近，男友，大城市，曼哈顿，还有我一直的梦想School of Visual Arts！终于在两年前就瞄着梦想要进去。但是感觉是个遥不可及的梦想。但是在我做了大量的个人作业和申请工作加上学校的工作经验还有老师们的推荐信，这样就迈进去一大步了。但是觉得真的想要转学就要注意几点1.看好了你要的专业，不要只看这个是名校那个是名校。关键是你自己的专业在这个学校的排行如何。这个才是关键。copper union是很好。但是关键是他们的建筑系很棒！没有自己的平面设计院，招来的平面学生都要送到SVA进修（听说这个消息 激动的我啊内流满面的）多好的学校 打破了脑袋进去都。但是不适合你干什么去呢。2. 真的需要大量的个人作品。因为学校的作品大体每个人都一样的。怎么样才能脱颖而出呢。只能靠自己做出来各种名片设计，书页设计，公司IOGO以及商业包装，广告，海报，CD包装，各种产品包装，3D作品，油画，铅笔画，黑白彩色设计样品，摄影。。。。一大堆的东西还要不断的添加添加。。这样才能够争取到最大限额的奖学金 3.真的要提早做准备。我记得我从半年前就开始准备材料了。转个学投入的经历和消耗的体力不亚于生一次孩子（虽然我没有生过）哈哈哈！但是真的就是要细致，多方打听毕业情况，学校状况，亲自考察，填写材料（把祖宗八大的情况都要写了），资料复印，作品集的准备，太多东西要准备，比生个孩子还麻烦。但是还好一切算是顺利。现在就是一些收尾工作了。很开心。进入一个梦想的学校。自己凭借努力考进去了。是一间非常好的学校。在曼哈顿，环境也很好，教学质量也很好，很多毕业的学生留在Manhattan的很多，态度也好，奖学金给我也很欣慰，还给我安排在大三。太欣慰了。看来那么多的额努力真的没有白费，我也要感谢我的父母，他们给我了很大的支持，尤其是老妈，每次我要买美术用品什么的，或者打印作业没有少折腾。也那么支持我自己独立去纽约闯闯。谢谢啦老妈。还有我的男朋友，在我开始申请的起初，就一直陪着我，鼓励我。这个过程很艰难。需要修改的东西太多。更多的时候是他陪着我鼓励我，一步步的走出来了。也是他每个学校都陪我去看，帮我提着很多作品集东跑西跑的。去了纽约也要我们一起面对成长！现在你也要考试，向着自己的梦想前进加油！谢谢你，还有谢谢一些朋友的鼓励，没有你们就没有今天的我！
This ranking of graphic design schools began with the top fifteen as designated by the US News and World Report’s annual survey of U.S. colleges and universities. That was the extent of their list so from there, the rankings have been derived from other ranking sources that could be relied upon as somewhat objective. We took the US News rankings of fine arts programs into account, provided the schools offered some sort of undergraduate program that incorporated the important elements of graphic design. We also recognized that many some fine arts departments have relegated graphic design to the architecture and design corner of academia, while others have embraced it as a commercial form of fine art.
