My gf wants to go there for Art. She is an incredible artist, she likes to do cartoon stytle stuff. If she got all the basic requirements for Barton College of North Carolina, what are her chances of getting in. Her grades are average in high school.
btw, she is bad at math. But every thing else is ok.

It is pretty easy to get into. They accept 70% of all aplicants. The average GPA was 3.09 (but 33% had a GPA between 2.5 to 2.99), and the average SAT scores were 489 in Math and a 480 in verbal. She might also want to turn in a art supplement with her work in it.
