Photography at FIT! Help? Questions?

<p>Hi! So FIT is pretty much my dream school. But i've had some challenges during high school. I was very sick during sophomore year (missed 50 days of school), and then I was told I couldn't go to college (legal issues) in junior year. I got everything sorted out legally, but my grades really don't reflect my potential. I am going to speak with an admissions counselor at my school (kinda like an interview) in october. I want to major in photography if that counts for anything. I know the photography program at FIT isn't as competitive as other programs. My GPA is 82, but I think it will go up to about a 87 at the end of the year. This is a rough idea of my portfolio. I also have drawings that I will add. Flickr:</a> ariadnerentz's Photostream
My SAT score is a 1540, but I will try to increase that. Hopefully. Also, does it help that I am considered a minority?
If anyone can help, that would be great!</p>
