Art School or World Class university – why not have both?

When students have multiple talents across academic disciplines, choosing whether to pursue traditional academic studies or the creative route can be tough. This student – a highly talented artist with serious academic abilities to match – found himself in this situation. Careful mentoring on both aspects of his applications ensured that a really strong application package was put forward to a range of highly-selective US universities, with the student eventually winning a place first at Brown, then at the Rhode Island School of Design, and then finally as one of only 15 students accepted to the joint programme Brown-RISD dual degree.
