Chance/Match Me: Unremarkable [current] Sophomore Photography Transfer From Art School to Academia, Religious Studies/English. [NH resident, low ~3.7 college GPA, <$40k]

I don’t know if commenting this will bump the thread, so if I should make a seperate post, mods, please let me know or correct me.

I’m back with more or less a concrete list. My GPA for this past semester was a 3.72. Cumulative college GPA is a 3.65, President’s list twice, Dean’s list once. Lower than I anticipated and I’m spiralling over it. Just waiting for letters of rec and then sending apps to:

  • Boston University
  • Hunter CUNY
  • Boston College
  • Wesleyan
  • Fordham
  • UMass Amherst

A couple of these (UMass, BC) I’m applying as a Linguistics major instead. Gathered a couple more ECs but nothing I feel super confident about, some volunteer work for immigrant communities and local community bookstores. What are my chances? Online college calculators are giving me about a 9% for most schools. How badly does my HS GPA bring down my profile? Will I get in anywhere but Hunter? On the verge of hopeless.
