I've been doing general ed. for a while in Community College and now I'm about to attend The Acadamy Art College of SF this summer but, I'm alittle hesitant about my skills at drawing (and imagination). My friend that went there said that not everybody over there are top-notch, but I'm kind ofworried about competing against the people that are top-notch. BTW, my major is graphic design but, I'm thinking about switching majors. Anyways, areya'll satisfied on the major you picked?
 
Biomedical Engineering

Worst decision I've ever made. Thank God for medical school. Or else I'd be some loser cramped in a lab all day with no social interaction and no life.

Look on Craigslist and show him some jobs in graphic designing, they make pretty good money. Also, my parents fully support me, in fact they praise me forgoing for something I love. And as for advice on you being a high-school senior, start everything started from the get-go (I was lagging until now) and ofcourse do research on which college offers good art programs around your area.

True, and also make sure you call them also and see what scholarship programs they offer.

Physical Education..... I like it a lot and the job opportunities are endless..

I think imagination is overlooked by students entering art school. I think you might have a huge advantage if you have a broad imagination. Besides, theyteach you techniques that might help become a more skillful drawer. BTW, I heard Ai is an excellent art school also.
