My GPA : 3.4
The chances I have on each of the colleges is really good. They are very similar to what they want. Most of the colleges are looking for creativity and the way you express yourself because of design. Wanting to enter great universities such as SCAD, is difficult, but still there's great possibilities for me to enter with that GPA.Probably before entering any college, I'll do some sort of practice in the Marangoni Institute, with helps a lot for fashion design knowledge and starts, that could open me some doors.

Summarize:
I noticed that there's not so much fashion institutes or colleges. Most of them are high ranked, and great sources of technology. This made me realize that if I really want to study fashion design, I can start from now. Things that I liked from the fashion colleges, is that each offers programs for the students that need a first base for the career. It got me inspired and the want to continue investigate more about the universities.
