<p>Hi, I'm very anxious in applying for colleges, and i love both schools. (also added some at the bottom that I will be applying to) I would like some feedback as for my chances for some of these schools. Thanks!</p>
<p>Weighted GPA - 83.370
Unweighted GPA - 82.935</p>
<p>I want to apply as a photography major, and I have been working on my portfolio for a few years now. (I've always known what I've wanted to do)</p>
<p>My only set back is that during my sophomore year I was very sick, and missed pretty much half the year of school. I failed my math course in trigonometry, and barely passed my chemistry class. I retook math the next year and passed with a 78 (from a 41 sophomore).</p>
<p>I have a 1540 SAT score (All 3), and I plan on retaking the SAT in November. </p>
<p>My course load right now is English 12, Probability and Statistics, Astronomy, AP Spanish, Multimedia Arts, and Economics.</p>
<p>This is my photography as of now, but I haven't made any final decisions as to which pictures I will be sending to colleges. I also have other work, like paintings that I need to find to photograph.

<p>I know my grades aren't amazing, I hope to get better grades this year now that my illness' have been sorted out.
I don't know if this plays much of a role, I was born in brazil and immigrated to the US when I was 4. I'm not a US citizen either. So if I am considered a minority (my mother and father didnt do college either) does that improve my chances.</p>
<p>Other schools I want to apply to -
SUNY Purchase
SUNY Fredonia
Academy of Art University
Buffalo State College
Barry University
Marymount Manhattan
University of Hartford
Hofstra University
Long Island University CW Post</p>
<p>Thank you, any feedback would be greatly appreciated, as for I am my toughest critic.</p>
