MECA will be scheduling interviews and portfolio reviews at various sites throughout New England! This an opportunity for you and your parents to have your questions answered in an informal setting near where you live. During your one-on-one meeting with a MECA representative, you can:
- have an informal Portfolio Review without the long lines,
- bring actual artwork that you might not bring to the school or to a Portfolio Day. This is your chance to get feedback and advice on putting together your final portfolio,
- bring your first draft of an essay to get advice from a counselor.
To schedule an interview, please contact the Office of Admissions at 207.699.5026 or 800.699.1509. You can also e-mail us at admissions@MECA.edu.
