<p>I have a suggestion,
other than CC, you could try New York City College of Technology (<a href="http://www.citytech.cuny.edu/%5B/url%5D">http://www.citytech.cuny.edu/</a>. They have a good program (BT) in Advertising Design and Graphic Arts which includes instruction in web design and I believe you only need a Cish gpa. I know its not a prestigious school, but you have a chance at admission. So try!</p>
<p>Also, keep in mind that there are many scholarships and grants available, not all of which require you to be a genius or have impressive ecs. good luck!</p>
