Hello everyone! This is my first post on here. I applied to Pratt RD for architecture and I’m super nervous to hear back. They have a great program and I really love NYC. Do I have a good chance of getting in? merit scholarship? Thanks!

GPA: 4.025 W (i know, it’s not that great)
SAT: 730 CR, 760 W, 660 M (one sitting)
EXTRACURRICULARS: pretty good, leadership positions + variety
PORTFOLIO: I was waived for the portfolio because my gpa but I decided to send one anyways. I went to Portfolio Day and the man who review my portfolio was the assistant director of admissions. He said I had a strong portfolio but just need more observational drawings. He also said I had a chance at merit scholarship. My finished portfolio had 5 observational drawings and a lot of independent/experimental work. Overall, I think my portfolio was pretty decent.
RECOMMENDATIONS: I decided to send in the optional letter of rec. I think my letter for rec. was pretty good, it was written by my art teacher whom i’ve had for 3 years
