AU is definitely my first choice! I've already turned in my housing and enrollment application & deposit.
Didn't receive any financial aid, but my FASFA was wrong (way off on estimates, need to contact financial aid), but I did receive the Dean's Scholarship and an invitation to the honors program (definitely doing).</p>

RANK: 17/340
ECs: Lots -ish.. but 90% are political in some way.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: 95% definitely going to AU because it's the only place I applied where I can do both IR and Journalism hassle-free in top-notch nationally-recognized programs (also applied to Gtown SFS, GW whatever, JHU, Tufts + a few others that dont matter). Kind of nervous about the roommate draw, have to be honest. I'm hoping I meet someone cool at the Honors overnight BECAUSE i dont like my odds of ending up with a completely incompatible roommate haha.</p>

ECs: Competitive piano, drama, NHS co-pres, Asian Am. Club co-pres, Band, Tap dance, lots of environment-related EC's
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: AU was my safety, but they offered me 22k a year (Frederick Douglass Scholarship) merit-based. I think most Fred. Douglass scholarships are need-based but my EFC was about 35-36k so I'm assume it's merit-based. I actually applied to 8 other schools with engineering as my intended major but I'm really rethinking that right now. Have not heard from 7 of them. AU with a double major in IR and env science sounds good at this moment... :p</p>

UCLA (still waiting!)
UC Santa Barbara (accepted w/ full tuition scholarship)
USC (accepted)
UC Berkeley (still waiting!)
Northwestern (still waiting)
Boston U (still waiting)
GWU (still waiting)</p>
<p>What are everyone's intended majors. If I do attend AU I'd like to major in CLEG (communications, law, economics, and government), anywhere else i'll probably major in political science.</p>
<p>ED or RD: RD
GPA: 2.96 unweighted, 3.6 weighted
SAT/ACT: 2210 SAT
RANK: we dont rank, but around 60th percentile i think

RANK: 16/130

SAT/ACT: SAT -- 720 V, 710 W, 590 M (ouch!), SAT IIs -- Lit 690, USH -- 670, ACT -- 30 (this is superscored)
RANK: I'm not sure of the EXACT number b/c people have graduated early... I'm still in the top 15%. Last I checked, I was 133/898.
ECs: Yearbook (editor and my HUGE thing... I spend weekends and vacation time working on this darn thing!) and Choir
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Was not accepted into Honors (haha, not surprised :P) and received no aid. It wasn't my first choice. I had applied to 10 schools total and I eliminated half, AU being kept on my list. Once I got my acceptance, I eliminated it from the final 5 because of the lack of financial aid, need or merit based. Will most likely be attending Hollins (VA) w/ a nice scholarship that brings costs around 20k but would like to attend Bryn Mawr (don't know if I've been accepted yet). :)</p>
