<p>Your scores make GMU and Rutgers a match at best. Can you afford those OOS schools? Affordability is part of being a safety. For graphic design and art why don’t you look for a good CC? Those fields generally don’t require a bachelor’s degree. Depending what you want to do in those areas, it’s more about getting good work experience.</p>
