Are my chances of getting into RISD good or bad?
I'm going to be a senior this year and I'm very confident in my portfolio which is diverse (clay sculptures, 3D paper works, wire sculptures, jewelry design, watercolors, pastels, oil paints, digital art, mosaic tiles, etc) and I have really good recommendations from my art teachers who have said I am one of their best students. I'm involved in several academic clubs and have taken many honors courses and a couple AP. For a sport I do martial arts and reached 3rd-highest from black belt (I started sort of late...). HOWEVER, what I'm afraid of are my grades: my GPA is 3.4 weighted and my SAT score is 2150 (My gpa is low because i got really depressed sopre year which brought it down a bit but I know that's no excuse). I'm pretty sure RISD looks at grades as one of the main factors and a 3.4 might say to them that I won't work hard enough at their school. I've been trying to balance this out by taking as many honors/AP cles as possible in my schedule and even doubling up on main subjects. Do you think I still have a chance of getting in?
