most people have gone to other schools. either other art schools or regular college/university. more and more younger kids seem to be admitted to the program…but from what i’ve noticed, unless they are superstars they struggle. I have friends that have full degrees in ID already that go to ACCD now. If you’re an 18 year old fresh out of HS i would recommend going to Pasadena City college for at least a few years before getting into ACCD. Also try and take the night classes ACCD offers. They will prepare you well for all the madness.
