<p>What are my chances of getting in?
I go to a nationally ranked high school in the DC metro area, so AU does have connections with my school
Extremely rigorous curriculum including 5 AP credits (such as AP World), and I have taken honors in all other classes expect for physics, chemistry, and biology.
GPA: weighted: 3.4 unweighted: 2.93
SAT: (I'm retaking it) Currently I have Math: 600 Reading: 730
Foreign language skills: In school, I take French and Arabic. Outside of school, I take Mandarin and Farsi
I'm a member of NSHSS (National Society of High School Scholars)</p>
<p>In addition to my stats in high school, I have also taken (2) American University College courses over the summer (the first during the summer of 2013, and this past summer 2014)
The first summer I attended a program called the Community of Scholars hosted by AU and received an A and 3 college credits in a course that taught Diplomacy. The second summer I attended a program called the National Student Leadership Conference that was hosted at AU, and received an A and 2 college credits in a course that taught national security. </p>
<p>I plan to major in International Studies with minors in Chinese Studies and Leadership\Management, so I'm applying to their SIS (School of International Service) </p>
<p>AU did send me a letter in the mail inviting me to apply based on my "academic achievements", however, I have my doubts seeing that both my GPA and SAT scores are extremely low. </p>
