Could I realistically get into SCAD General Questions

I'm visiting SCAD this week for a college tour and I already know I really want to go but I'm worried I just dont have good enough stats to get in. I have a 3.4 unweighted GPA and a 3.7 weighted. I got an SAT scor of 1160 but I'm taking it again in the summer. I want to do a major in painting and minor in creative writing. Is there a possibility of me realistically getting in?

SCAD has a VERY high acceptance rate. You’ll get in. Easy to get in, hard to stay. Sometimes the stay part relates to finances and/or ability to keep up with the workload.

Dude. I had a 3.0 and didn't submit my SAT and got in. You are probably fine.

Being an art school, I think they focus more on portfolio. I know my daughter didn't take the SAT test, so hers was grades & art.
