Hmmm admissions, hold on I found something on it
Quote:
Admission to the program is granted primarily to California state high school students, and up to twenty students from outside of California. The main criteria for admission is an applicant’s potential for further professional development in the arts or creative fields after the end of the program. It's determined through an audition, portfolio review, screening, and teacher recommendations. Approximately one out of three applicants are accepted, parallel to the acceptance rate of CalArts
If you would like more information this is the site were I found it
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_State_Summer_School_for_the_ArtsIt sounds like a high end school were you'll need art teacher recommendations, a good portfolio and so on in order to get in. If I were you, I would hand in a portfolio with your best stuff, (you can even post it here in the guild to get help on making it the best it can be) and would also include a recommendation from your art teacher as well if you can get one. To better out your odds
