<p>I think you’re a match for all of the listed universities except Cornell. You still have a decent shot at Cornell though and should definitely apply there. And I’m not so sure about John Hopkins either, but you’ll probably make it into most universities listed :slight_smile: I think your only weakness is your GPA which isn’t stellar. Consider retaking the ACT and trying to get a 33+, which would help make up for your GPA. Please chance me back on my thread </p>

<p>bump</p>

<p>I think all posted schools are a match except Cornell. Johns Hopkins and Washington University. Your EC’s are extensive, and your ACT scores are great. Obviously, your GPA is a tad low, but that’s made up for with your ACT scores. Also, attending a difficult high school wont hurt you in college admissions. I’m also applying to GW this year via ED. Best of luck. </p>

<p>bump…anyone else?</p>

<p>All are matches except Hopkins, Washington University, and Cornell. Your ACT score is great! Good Luck!</p>

<p>Chance me?
<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1701134-chance-for-uw-madison-new-test-score-will-chance-back.html#latest”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1701134-chance-for-uw-madison-new-test-score-will-chance-back.html#latest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>NYU, Hopkins, Washington University, and Cornell seem to be reaches. In a more ideal world, your scores could be at least a 32, and your uw GPA closer to 3.6 or 3.7. However, if your overall course load was close to the best your school offers, it would add a lot more context to your slightly lower uw GPA for these schools. Nonetheless, go ahead and apply to these places. A few numbers usually will not handicap a candidate as motivated and driven as you are. Be sure to show them character through your essays, too! Good luck, and thanks for chancing me earlier!</p>

<p>High matches for all of them except Johns Hopkins, Cornell, and WashU. I think that those colleges will probably be interested in you because you can clearly contribute to their soccer teams. Overall, I think that you can get into all of them as long as your essays are good.

<p>You have a good chance for all of the schools you listed besides JHU, Washington University in St. Louis, and Cornell. Those three are a reach. Perhaps you can try to raise your ACT score just a bit. However, I think your dedication to soccer really shines through! I wish you the best of luck! (thanks for chancing me by the way ^^)</p>

<p>Johns Hopkins, Cornell, WashU and GW are all reaches in my opinion (you test scores are alright, especially for GW, its just your GPA that is bringing you down); hopefully your course rigor and school’s reputation will make up for it. I’d say the others are matches.</p>

<p>If you can relay your reasons for having a below par GPA (course load and whatnot), I think you have a good shot with solid recommendations and essays. Although Cornell, Washington in St. Louis and Johns Hopkins are basically difficult for all of their applicants, I think you have a chance at any of them.</p>
