Do I even have a chance?

Since you are a junior, you should have plenty of time to put together a portfolio. Try to take all the art you can this year and next fall. And get in the best summer art program that you can–apply to several. You can look on the “visual arts and film majors” section of college confidential, search “summer pre-college” and you’ll find all sorts of advice on good programs. My son was admitted to two very selective architecture programs that required portfolios, and he only used art that he did in class (or summer program) so it can be done. He only submitted drawings and paintings, but it is up to you. You can definitely use models or photos if you need additional pieces.
