<p>As long as you bring your GPA up, and get good SAT scores, you should get into GWU. It isn’t as tough as it seems.</p>

<p>And George Mason is definitely a reach. :]</p>

<p>Ooh, sorry… I meant to say George Mason is definitely an in/safety.
Sorry!</p>

<p>ah yea, you need to get the GPA up, but as long as you are improving and have it increase each year, then that would look like you are trying very hard to improve. By the way, how is it that your PSAT is 1600 out of 1800? its suppose to be out of 240 or 2400.</p>

<p>thanks bump</p>

<p>I agree with everyone else. If you work hard to bring up that GPA over the next couple of years and do well on the SAT (1900+), you should be good for GW. Your EC and willingness to pay will also help you. Good luck! </p>

<p>Chance me (applying to GW this year)? </p>
