Hi everyone! AU is one of my top choices and I want to know if I have a chance of getting in.
GPA: 4.44 weighted 3.84 unweighted
TEST SCORES: applied test-optional (will this lower my chances significantly?)
EXTRACURRICULARS: have a lot of leadership roles and roles in my community
FORGOT TO MENTION: taken 9 AP courses and gotten 4’s on the exams
AU take demonstrated interest very seriously, what have you done on that front? Visited, info session in your town, interview, webinar?

I visited once and went to their session at our high school with one of their representatives.
Ok. AU has this thing where they sometimes reject higher stats applicants if they feel the applicant is using them as a safety/backup school. If you have strongly demonstrated through interest and your essays that you really want to go there, you probably have a good chance of admission.

I concur with SJ2727
My son had only a handful of IB classes and an ACT of 27. He had a GPA of 3.7 weighted.
He attended several AU online sessions, created a LinkedIn account and followed them there as well as on other social media sites.
He was admitted RD with no merit aid, FYI.
Your stats are solid. Go look at AUs holistic decision process video on YouTube, it’s helpful.
Good.luck!
