so, im starting to look at colleges and my guidance counselor at school wants everyone to do this paper thing to see if we really should go to that college, (best benefits, etc).
im checking out colleges in California because i really want to be away from Connecticut as possible. im interested in 1)Modeling (preferably for people who photograph “alternative” styles) .. maybe professionally and 2)photography.
The Academy of Arts University in San Francisco appealed to me, but there’s some questions that i couldn’t answer that i HOPE someone can on here.
ALSO,recommendations for colleges that offer study abroad programs that offer modeling and/or photography classes
1)do you have to take the ACT test?
2)what is the average GPA of a student to get into this college?
3)student life activities that go on at this school (sports,clubs,etc)
4)skills and abilities for photojournalism or photography in general
5) typical tasks of this career
6)most common work activities affiliated with this career choice
also, any colleges in So Cal or maybe Northern Cali that offer the career path of modeling??
i know im probably asking a lot but any help would be truly grateful.
ill love any of you that can help me xD
please and thankkk youu♥

College Information (colleges In Cali Or Study Abroad Programs)?
Posted on June 5, 2013.
AAU is a very low ranked college. It’s got a mixed reputation, and it’s very expensive. It’s open admissions – so long as you can pay the tuition, you will get in.
There are no college classes for modelling. That doesn’t require a college education. There is nothing like a modelling major. But models who do go to college often study what they’d like to focus on in their post-modeling career, so perhaps one idea is to study photography for your major, with plans to become a photographer once your modelling career ends.
The best schools for photography are: Yale, School of the Art Institute of Chicago (not part of the Ai chain of schools, which should be avoided), Rochester Institute of Tech, RISD, U New Mexico, U Arizona, Cal Arts, Arizona State U. The San Francisco Art Institute (also not part of the Ai chain) is also good, and they’re right in the location you’re looking at.
BTW, UConn has a decent art program. You may want to keep them in mind as a financial backup, should aid at the schools further from home not turn out as you need it to.
