<p>Hey everybody, I posted this same thread in the "what are my chances" forum yesterday, but if I had scrolled down about a half an inch, I would have seen the transfer student forum which is clearly more appropriate, so I hope I'll be able to get some good suggestions here.
I don't know where to apply to school. Here's my situation:</p>
<p>I graduated from high school in 2003
Had a 3.4 gpa
SAT's were 660 verbal, 660 math
Took 2 A.P. classes, and a bunch of honors classes
My first year of college was at School of Visual Arts, then transfered to
Massachusetts College of Art. I'm taking this coming year off.
My grades at SVA were descent, mostly A's and B's, but I believe I got one C
but only 4 classes out of the 10 were academic
My grades last year were awful. I mean really really bad. They were all
pass/fail, but I did not pass a bunch of them. Totally screwed up the
year.</p>
<p>Ok, so I decided recently that I want to apply to a liberal arts school. I'm planning on taking 2 classes each semester this coming year at the local state school to make up some for last years horrible grades. What I'm hoping to do is get really good grades in them and probably get my recommendation from one of these teachers. </p>
<p>When first applying to colleges, I got into Clark and Wagner and was rejected from Fordham Lincoln Center campus, as far as non-art schools go. I live in CT, and want go to a school in the northeast. I can't help being in love with New England. It has to have some kind of art classes, though I'm not really sure thats what I want anymore. So, any suggestions of schools I should look at?
Does anyone know how badly my last years grades will affect me? Any input would be appreciated.</p>
