<p>i am interested, obsessed even, with advertising and copywriting. it's something i would like to pursue career-wise after schooling. i am basically looking for a school that will help me and allow me to build a portfolio or to work with likeminded folks who have authentic interest in advertising.</p>
<p>however, i have been a pretty bad university student the last year and a half i have been here ( state school ). my current school doesn't offer an adbased communication curriculum that appeals to me. the business department does however offer a marketing program. unfortunately, that program is completely business oriented.</p>
<p>are there any schools that will take me under their wing even though my university grades are horrible? (highschool stats if any of this even matters: 1200 sat, 3.6gpa moderately rigorous courses )</p>
<p>can you tell us
1. what school you are at
2. your college GPA
3. what you are looking for in a school - besides advertising.</p>
<ol>
<li>a state school</li>
<li>2.0</li>
<li>besides advertising? the bigger the city the better, but that's really not a requirement just a preference
hmm</li>
</ol>
<p>Sadly, your college GPA is the most important factor and yours is very low. You will encounter some difficulties trying to transfer :-/ I dont really have any suggestions tho</p>
<p>aw man :(
i don't know what to do now
my current university doesn't offer anything of the sort</p>
<p>Ohio University (Scripps School has a specialized advertising area)
Syracuse (Newhouse)
Northwestern (Medill)
Missouri</p>
<p>Northwestern with a 2.0? Be realistic.</p>
<p>what about syracuse?</p>
<p>What state school?
And uh...Newhouse with those stats? No chance.</p>
<p>hmm, what have you heard/read about transferring to there and gpa?</p>
<p>How about Quinnipiac (CT).</p>
<p>What about an art school? They might look more at a portfolio than the a GPA. It might be easier to get into something like that and try a computer arts program, which is kind of related to ad-based marketing programs.</p>
