University of Cincinnati DAAP Industrial Design Transfer.

Hello! This is my first post in College Confidential. Im about to transfer from a community college to University of Cinci for their DAAP program. unfortunately I have a 3.2 and I’m not sure if ill get in. It seems that they don’t have a writing portion for me to explain why my grades were so bad my first semester. (Grades have increased drastically) So I was wondering what my chances are since they only ask for your GPA and transcript. Anything helps, thank you!
