<p>All the subjective elements look great. However, your weighted GPA and SAT score are going to hurt you in a big way.</p>

<p>I agree, do everything you can to raise your SAT so you aren’t thrown out before they even see your ECs.</p>

<p>I agree as well. Get that SAT up to the 2000s or 2100s. (most applicants would need at least a 2200 to be competitive at Gtown, but your EC’s are good enough to grant you some leeway there, even though your UW GPA is most probably below par). And assuming your UW GPA is somewhere in the 3.5 realm, try to really buckle down the end of this year and your first semester next year and get it up as high as you can.</p>
