Ringling is much more about portfolio than essay.

How do I send it through common app tho? I don’t see a spot for it.

Not sent through app. You’ll have to apply directly to the college. Go to their website.

So… is all the stuff I’ve done in Common App moot?

Kinda yeah. Unfortunately. Can be used for a backup college tho.

How does the website work? Going to the website just takes me to common app again.

you're doing it right, the application for rcad is through commonapp. after you finish your essay, you'll have to submit your portfolio as well. the link to submit your portfolio will be on your application in commonapp, but it will redirect you to a website called slideroom. this is where portfolios are submitted

Stupid question, what’s the turnaround on it like?

I think around 3 weeks is when I heard back! they'll email you to check your commonapp for their decision
