Chance me for Columbia ED- 3.99 UW, 34 ACT [<$30k, visual art, art history, environmental science]

Your art ECs and awards are very impressive. Columbia will definitely be a reach (for anyone). SAIC is a safety. Syracuse is too IMO. If Tufts is SMFA only then I think it’s also a safety. Dual degree or regular Tufts is a reach for pretty much anyone because of the low acceptance rate, but you are competitive pretty much everywhere, with the exception of the language issue. But I think the rest of your stats and application will compensate for that at least to a degree. Even in portfolio-optional programs your art accomplishments stand out.

Curious if you’ve considered Brown RISD dual degree. It’s super selective and small but if you have a well-articulated plan for why it makes sense for you, I think you would be competitive.

Good luck!
