Prepare a portfolio and know why you want to be in the school. Don't do it if you don't know what you want to do.

I think my time spent at Otis would reguarded as one of the most difficult times of my life. Its demanding, challenging, life altering and exhausting. I cried, I had all nighters often and then a full day of work and classes to follow, it was nonestop homework, and nonstop learning, and expensive.
And it was absolutely worth it.
The amount of knowledge gained was amazing it's the Harvard of art schools and you better be ready to get your ass wooped! because it will push you to the edge and ask for more. If your not ready for this maybe you should go to community college, because if your not ready Otis will chew you up and spit you back out. If you are ready, if your commited, if you believe in great art and great design and more importantly want to be a great artist and designer this is where you want to go. This school will not just teach you about design but what it takes to succeed at design in the real world.
Remember, great things require great effort. Otis is where you can learn to be great.

Talk to Teachers. Sit in classes because some teachers are nice and some are not... that is the same in every school dont let one teacher make or break your descision. Talk to faculty in General. They can be your friends or your enemies its how you present yourself and your goals. Start early with the application. Get it in early. I took a tour of the school before i applied to get a gerneral feel while class was takign place so i could see how the students work day to day. This place is not for everyone... you need to willing to work.

I am honestly surprised that I even got in, but then again I also got into other art schools that are as good if not better.
The one thing about Otis is that Otis really doesn't discriminate with letting people into their school, they'll take anyone who they see potential in or who are good at what they do.
Portfolio wise I submitted a lot of mixed medias, and I think Otis is pretty open on the medias you can submit. I would recommend to show them that you could do a little of everything, drawing, painting, design, photography, whatever you think can give them an accurate representation of your skills and who you are.

I showed a few of my sketches and work that I did in high school. Then I assume they checked my grades and bank account. I wasn't aloud financial aid.

If your portfolio has life and still life drawing, it is a big plus!

I prepared a portfolio and personal statement. I would recommend for prospective students to visit the campus and ask for all the information needed. You can also attend college prep courses during the summer.
