The Art school admission requirement that most people forget

Why you should prepare yourself for the admission interview
I think we can all agree on this statement: Running a marathon without preparation or training is a bad idea. Let’s compare your admission interview to this situation. You enter the room and see how it goes. Chances are high that your nerves will take over. You’ll stumble upon words, be vague or even get a blackout.
