Thankk youu so muchh :)
I appreciate it</p>
<p>and to add to that i think i can write pretty good essays and i know how to talk 5 languages. arabic, english, french, spanish and recently learning italian.</p>
<p>Without knowing exactly how low your GPA is, it’s pretty hard to chance you, but if it isn’t too bad (like under a 3.0), you definitely have a decent chance at all the schools on your list. Definitely make sure your essays are amazing, and that you mention your ability to speak 4 languages, and you passion for various art forms. Make sure that you interview and bring your portfolio so that these schools can see your proficiency in art. Do you have any volunteer hours? If not, I would try to get some in an art-related field, either by helping at an art camp or something similar. You sound like a really talented person, and I think that colleges will pick up on that. Good Luck!</p>
<p>PS: I really don’t mean any offense by this, but make sure the grammar in your essays is flawless. Looking at your posts, I’m a bit on edge as to the quality of your writing. Have an English teacher proofread your essays, because you don’t want these schools to make a connection between your low grades and your low writing quality. That would seriously hurt your otherwise very good application.</p>
<p>The only thing im afraid of is my loq gpa. Anyway thank you for the advice i really appreciate it and yeah about the spelling thing thanks for telling me i really need honest people now. but thank you so much i appreciate the advice and ill definetley take it into consideration.</p>
<p>Anyone other thoughts ?</p>
<p>Hey,
overall you are very impressive. You need to put forward your best foot; you must concentrate on all your artistic achievements and set forth how you will enliven the artistic life in Stanford.
I think you have a good chance if you can improve your gpa, and give valid reasonsfor the disparities between your good SAT scores and your gpa…</p>
<p>RISD does not fit in with those academic powerhouse schools. With your scores, you
probably want serious academics, and RISD does not offer that, as far as I know.</p>
<p>thank you 141113 i really appreciate it and i hope i can improve my gpa at least a few points thats all i want so i hope it will work out. and thanks for the advice greenblue…
