Why dont you stay on for an additional year and focus on strengthening your portfolio? You could even enroll part time and work while doing so. I would recommend speaking to your adviser about doing this.

I made the biggest mistake by choosing to graduate on time with a 2.58, and now I am putting myself through another Bachelor’s degree just to prove to the ad comms that I am capable of doing the work. I am also working full time if that is any consolation.

My fingers are tightly crossed that my little strategy will yield some sort of positive result- i.e. admission to Georgetown or Northwestern’s Communication programs! :)
