planning on retaking one or the other before i reapply, but thoughts?! I am extremely passionate about the art in chicago and coming to the program at NU. I feel like my qualifications are pretty good but I am really worried about my test scores. Honest opinions please! I wont be offended! I just really need to know if its even worth my time to apply. Good luck to everyone else too</p>

<p>The high grades will definitly help you. THe tests scores will hurt you a lot just like me. re take it. that’s all i can say.</p>
