Chance at a merit scholarship?

<p>I applied RD so i wont even know if i get in until April, but assuming i do, do i have a shot at a merit scholarship? Also, i haven't done an interview or tour, so i guess the only thing that shows my level of interest is the "why gwu" essay. </p>

<p>GPA: 3.71
Weighted GPA: 6.5/7 (weird scale i know)
ACT: 33</p>

<p>ECs
-Judicial Intern
-We The People unit captain
-Volunteer Camp Counselor
-Film club pres and founder
-Teen Court prosecutor
-Music club VP
-Mock trial criminal defendant
-NHS member
-Jewish Student Union member
-Social Studies Honor Society member</p>

<p>Essays
-I've been told they are very good</p>

<p>Recs
-Pretty sure they'll be great
-Also got one from the judge i interned under</p>

<p>High School
-My school is centered around dual enrollment so during my junior and senior years i took around 12 classes a year, all either college or AP, so im hoping to make up for my low gpa with high course load and rigor.
-My school also doesnt rank but im pretty sure im around 80%, hoping to make up for that with the class-load thing.</p>
