On the other hand, some schools (art center, otis, = calarts, gnomon) are more interested in your portfolio and use of = software than your proficiency with the application = buttons/layout/navigation. In accredited schools, students evaluate = instructors to administration. Students' reviews may be influenced by = your button-ability (or ability to address every part of the = application; whether you use it or not). You're probably familiar with = this last part.
