i'll try to reapply... maybe switch jobs and take some courses to add to my portfolio. diversify.

I will stay in my job for another year and either try again or go back to my alma mater where Im sure I can go back.
Might even be better for me, who knows... Work is going great right now though.

+q, i wouldnt worry, especially after seeing your portfolio. I think youll get in to most if not all the schools you have applied to..

I will probably take a year off myself, and work. I havent even finished undergrad yet, so it might be good to take that time off.

what are safety schools for? i`ll join one of them..

the safety school is the place you know you can get in to in case no one else accepts you. Though my safety school is also my second choice.

And if no one accepts me, i'm thinking cross country road trip in the style of Stephen Shore.

Maybe come back and find a more stimulating job.
