Can I get into George Washington University?!?!

<p>I am a soon to be male senior with a 3.19 GPA, I will have taken a total of 8 AP classes by the end of high school, im in the top 33% of my class, I go to a top ranked public school in the Chicago suburbs, I got a 28 on my ACT, and I have a decent amount of extracurriculars. Also I am doing community service throughout summer vacation. I am planning on applying early decision to GW but im worried I wont get in. Comments?</p>

<p>GW's average GPA is a 3.8, so your GPA is very low and your rank is low as well. The majority of people at GW are in at least the top 25%. It think around 65%+ are in the top 10%--check the stats. Are you on an increasing grade trend? That might help. I think you must have some safeties that you really like that are backups for GW. Of course, you should apply and write a great essay--you never know until you try-- but you must also realize the odds are probably not in your favor.</p>
