Life's not a video game, it's not only about studying. Some nuances take more than a year to grasp, and some elements like creativity you might never get.

This, basically.
Though strong draughtsmanship and the ability to draw from life are important, CalArts seems to be more interested in your potential as an artist. From what I've seen, they're looking to see how you are as a storyteller and an illustrator, and how open you are to experimenting. If you're looking for an animation school that you can easily grind your way into, check out Sheridan.

Hit the nail on the head. The way to succeed is not to do one thing and consume your life, it's to be dedicated to practice while still living like a human being.
