    Apply early and keep in contact with admissions counselors. They will help you every step of the way. Make trips to the school in person if you're able. In person is so much better, because you truly get a feel for the school, and you become familiar with the people working in each office.

    Start searching for scholarships early because Columbia is a private school and is expensive, but the skills gained will be worth the cost. If you get scholarships early you also won't have such a strain later in the year to get all your finances in order for attendance.

    Know that you're going to an art school in the heart of a major city - this will not be like high school or any traditional college so expect to be thrown into the mixing bowl that is Chicago. Learn all you can about your major including faculty backgrounds, new/popular courses, and connect with other students within your major to create great collaboration opportunities.

    I think if you want to go here you have to be REALLY into your craft because you are literally involved in it from the time you wake up til the moment you fall asleep. Everyone there is passionate about what they do so take it seriously.
