<p>blythe, I think you are selling yourself short. I really don't think schools will be that turned off by a 3.3 freshman year. At your current pace you could easily graduate with a 3.7 or slightly above.</p>
<p>In addition, since you want to go into creative writing, your verbal and writing scores will matter more, and they are a respectable low 600's and low 700's.</p>
<p>If you can write killer essays (your strength) I see no reason why some of the more selective schools mentioned in this thread wouldn't be a possibility.</p>
