<p>My GPA was slightly lower than yours but my weighted was a 3.9 and got in. my SATs were also lower than yours.
I think you have a good shot. Since you are in MD as I am make sure to interview so the admissions people get to see you as a person and not just your stats. Good luck!
And show interest! That matters alot!</p>

<p>It’s sort of hard for us to chance nowadays because who knows what will happen with GW’s admission rate for 2015. As we saw with my class this year, lots of surprises happened. Your extracurriculars are great! It shows you’re engaged in your community and since you have community service as well, it’s a plus. I got in with SAT scores around your range, so you’re good there. Try to excel in your October SAT Subject tests. Being a URM is a great factor on your application, so make sure to take advantage of it. I really can’t comment on your GPA since I am not able to compare schools (GW will be able to do that) but I think you have a good chance of getting in, especially early. Best of luck! ;)</p>
