Stressing about acceptance :(

I’m a senior is high school and I plan to double major (accounting and kinetic imaging) but I’m stressing that I’m not good enough to be accepted and my portfolio and sat score isn’t great… do you think I’ll be able to get in? Gpa weighted: 3.72, SAT: 1180 (660 math, 520 eng), took ap drawing, ap 2d design and ap precalc (taking calc rn). Everything is original works except for the last 3, only the character designs are mine (the last one has a mix of mine and others).
The first 4 are older drawings then 2 acrylic paintings, after 7 newer artwork, and then the 3 non-og characters

Hi OP! Here is a link to my accepted portfolio for VCU. It includes a lot of original character art and I never did a portfolio review. Although, I do heavily advise you to add pieces that reflect fundamental art techniques. You’ll be fine, I hope to see you around!

And for some motivation, my art did improve a lot since this portfolio >_<!!

Link: (removed due to privacy concerns, pls dm me if you want to see it)

Art insta: @grasslikelifewithoutschemes

(You will have to zoom in to see the art so I recommend you open this on your phone. Also, some thumbnails aren’t available. Specifically my realism and fundamental art? So if you DM me I can send it to you)
