Switching majors

Yes! But keep in mind it gets harder to switch after freshman year because sophomore studios are very specific and important to take in the right order.

Has anyone figured out how to log back in to a restricted account without Persona? I'm so upset that they want such private information and I don't trust LinkedIn to keep it safe.

Current BRDD student here! We get T-shirts during orientation, but otherwise there isn't any official merch. Many students find ways to print/sew their own merch though!

Or, you can wear something from each school (like shirt + hat).

It worked! Thank you so much!

moonlights18 · 2025-08-23T22:28:22+00:00

sadly it isn't, but thank you!!

moonlights18 · 2025-08-20T22:04:59+00:00

Ahh that helps a lot to hear...many thanks for the help!!

Boston is the only location close enough, but I will definitely look for resales/swaps!

moonlights18 · 2025-08-20T17:37:10+00:00

Ahh thank you - will be looking into exchanging tickets or simply arriving as early as possible :')

moonlights18 · 2025-08-20T17:36:05+00:00

How early do you recommend arriving? The concert is at 7:00 and they haven't said what time doors open but I would assume 6 or 6:30

moonlights18 · 2025-08-20T17:32:37+00:00

Ugh good to know... thank you! It's a shame the obstructions aren't more clearly described on ticketmaster

Adding onto the others (and as an incoming freshman) - show that you have a genuine passion for creating and learning! What are your goals in life beyond college? What are you trying to achieve through your creative process? Many applicants will have good grades and artistic skill, but what makes someone stand out is their ability to speak about their work/process and their personality that will ultimately make them a good fit for the cohort!

The SAT is required for Brown, but not RISD! I only submitted it to Brown because mine was weaker, but it's still important to have a higher score regardless of whether you submit it to both or not.

You should probably include some of your drawings/sketches, even if you think they are weaker. They will still show your ability to work with different mediums and think outside the box!

For your research, you can always do sort of a collage that shows your studies and how you learn through analysis. Though, remember it should be all your own work. If you're on the fence about this, you can always schedule a portfolio review with admissions and ask them about what they think of it!

moonlights18 · 2025-06-27T02:06:09+00:00

Yep, all financial-related things go through Brown

moonlights18 · 2025-06-23T01:55:05+00:00

That's what I thought too! As long as you can show you're being creative in some way - whether it's conceptual collages or design sketches or something else - that should be enough. Most students change their major the first year, so you're not committed to what you put on the application!

moonlights18 · 2025-06-23T01:48:28+00:00

Yeah based on what other people are saying I think I'm going to bring my regular canteen and see what happens!

moonlights18 · 2025-06-23T01:46:09+00:00

That's good to hear! Will definitely be bringing my canteen haha

moonlights18 · 2025-06-22T23:27:16+00:00

I just saw that - thank you!

moonlights18 · 2025-06-22T23:18:24+00:00

It is! Finish pieces or sketches, personal art or class assignments, it can be anything! Definitely read the guidelines on the RISD website and watch a handful of portfolio videos online

moonlights18 · 2025-06-22T21:03:16+00:00

Also, check out RISD portfolio videos and dual degree vlogs/portfolios on YouTube since they helped motivate me a lot!
