Hi! I’m trying to help my friend compile a list of college to apply to. She took a gap year, graduated 2018. Her plan was always to apply to art colleges only as she wants to be an artist. However, her parents are not letting her do that because they want her to get a “well rounded” college education. So I’m helping her look for colleges with strong art programs. She didn’t do super well in high school because she was always focused on art and also had dyslexia, ADHD etc. She has about a 3.0 GPA and a 26 ACT. She got strong grades before senior year when family issued stopped her from focusing on school. She wants to attend a college that also has fashion and business classes as well as offers a lot of financial aid (her family is quite poor). She would like to be on the West or East coast in areas like NYC/LA/Vancouver. She is white/japanese and was born and raised in Hawaii. Basically if anyone has any recommendations for safeties/matches/reaches please let me know I want to help her get into a college she loves and can afford!
Thank you!
