help with college choices

<p>I’m looking to major in architecture or industrial design of some sort.
i live in Illinois and attend a nationally ranked school.
I have a 2.6 gpa, 28 act.
i have taken ap euro (4) and im currently taking ap psychology and ap biology and will most likely get 4’s
I’m looking for safety, reach, and match schools
my low gpa is due to a very stressful junior year and i could explain that convincingly in my essays. also i could probably get some favorable recommendations.
affordability is a concern but geography isn’t. id rather go to a bigger school
help is appreciated</p>

<p>bump for help</p>
