If you're contemplating going to advertising school soon, the main point of advertising school is to make a body of work.
Thing is, you can do this without going to school, too.

2 History - before you
3 Feedback - live tweaks
4 Gang - to share careers
5 Mentors - and door-openers
6 Culture - a taste of work
7 Intros - recruiting days, meetings
8 Logo - Look!
9 Rank - if you place well

But you can access many of these in other ways.
The main thing is a body of work.
If you want to write, write.
If you want to do strategy, do research.
If you want to work with ideas, have ideas.
Work from public briefs or make them up.
Network and cross your fingers.
