Reader Question How Do I Get Into Animation School

Cora writes:

"I'm 17 and graduating high school in a year. I've always done really well in my art classes, and I think I want to be an animator. My mom says if I do I need to start getting ready now because it's a lot of work to get into animation school. Why is it so much work? What do I have to do to get into animation school? Is it more than just sending my application?"

Just a little bit more, but since you have a year until you graduate, you should have enough time to prepare yourself and your application materials to make the best impression possible.
