Pretty good. At least a 60% chance.
Strong profile. Apply EA.
^^Well you can only apply EA if you aren’t currently a senior.
I think you have a decent shot, your grades certainly look good and you have solid test scores. What GTown will look at now (IMO, I was admitted EA to SFS this year) are your essays to see how good your knowledge of international relations is, your LORs and your interview to see if you will “fit” on campus. I will say however your ECs look a little weak.
Are a ton of Chinese language-related ECs weak? For Walsh?
I see president of one club and a lingual contest- good ECs. But IMO, from seeing who else was admitted to Walsh this year, they are looking for people who do A LOT. It’s just my opinion, but one club and HS theater does not amount to the type of EC rigor they are looking for. To give you an idea, I was involved in HS theater for 4 years, leader of 3 clubs and involved in 2 others, tutored, took online college courses for fun and did some int’l work. Many of my peers who received acceptances had similar resumes.
