Senior in HS , Dream school is FIT. But I’m worried academically. Any advice?
Hi, ( I don’t usually use Reddit so please be kind to me lol) I’m class of 2027 and since my sophomore year I’ve been dreaming of being accepted into FIT to start my artistic career, but I’m not the best academically and a lot of that is due to my lack of smarts in the math department lol.
My gpa right now is a 2.3 and my SAT score was 980. Now I’ve heard of dream stories of people with damn near a 1.0 gpa getting in, but I’m blessed enough to have opportunities other people don’t. But I want to hear other people’s opinions on if I have a chance of getting in.
I’ve done multiple extra circular’s at school: I’ll be leading my dance and yearbook team next year. I’d also like to mention I’m a student council member and I’m a lead singer in the music club. I also have two people who are alumni of FIT that are willing to write me letters of recommendation.
I’d like to know if any of this is relevant in my chance of acceptance. (Aswell as a strong essay and portfolio of course because obviously they care about that too.)
Senior year will be my chance to pick up the slack I’ve had on my rough grades and hopefully raise my GPA back up before it’s too late, but as I said. Any advice, opinions, and thoughts would be helpful as a person with anxiety and who really would like to be a FIT student. Thank you all so much!
