Early Decision at CofC

<p>hi, im currently a junior at a private catholic high school. My GPA is about a 2.8, i only took the SATS once and i scored a 1390 out of 2400. I haven't taken any honors classes throughout high school, but i love art and i am taking AP studio art next year and i plan to major in drawing and painting in college. I am involved in art club, SADD, junior class comittee, and relay for life. I also play the piano and guitar. i want to attend CofC more than anything, if i do an early decision do you think it will enhance my chances of being accepted? also can my art portfolio make up for my poor grades?</p>
