Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I have a 3.8 GPA from a community college and my GPA in High School was a 3.0. I was wondering what my chances are at schools like SAIC and Cooper Union. Also, do you know of any schools that are near or in illinois that are solid academically and strong artistically. I am having a hard time coming up with schools to even apply to. This is because I don't know what schools are matches, even just on an academic level and I can't critique my own portfolio. </p>

<p>If you want, you can check out a small portion of my artwork here, to get a feel for my style : <a href="http://elizbetea.deviantart.com/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://elizbetea.deviantart.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Cooper Union would be a reach. The other one is a match. But then again, CU is a reach for almost everyone.</p>

<p>Thanks:) If you don't mind me asking, What makes me a reach? My portfolio, or my grades?</p>
