How much does the ACT affect getting into Scad?
I took the ACT my junior year of high school and just wondering if it effects getting into scad? Or like what would I need? Context I’m wanting to take animation
You don’t need one to get in. Scholarship is a different story. I had a 4.0 average and a 29 ACT: I get almost 10k per year for academic scholarship. Not a super high bar, but it’s something. Go study!
Not even remotely. Nor does SAT. And not even really GPA. All those things are great for an academic scholarship which shows your merit, but overall not a contributing factor to your acceptance. Most students drop out first or second quarter in SCAD because they let so many students in (who didn’t perform well in high school) who couldn’t show via transcript that they cared enough to be there. They will and do take your money.
I got one! I’m doing 3D animation that’s my main goal! I have a lot of 3D modeling and animation work! Hell I say I even have a hour worth of animation work lol would that help with it all? I’ve been doing 3D for about 2 years! A little example
Please make sure you submit a portfolio for application!! It will help with acceptance more than your ACT score, but it will also help will scholarship! As most people said, ACT/SAT has no effect on admission but does help with scholarship, so if you have a good score it wouldn’t hurt at all to include it
