<p>Without knowing what programs you are interested in, if you’re coming in as a Liberal Arts major, someone else put it best when they said this school should be a safety net for you. I had an ex friend who applied to this school because she applied to schools like Harvard and Yale with a 3.0 GPA. I told her she was wasting her time but she didn’t listen and well…none of those schools accepted her so she ended up applying to this school, last minute, right out of High School and she got in without a problem. So if she can get in, I don’t see why you can’t. But if you’re interested in their art programs, they’re pretty great for Performance, from what I’ve read. However, if you’re interested in design, you should consider FIT :slight_smile: </p>
