Volunteer:
I volunteer regularly at my school and church throughout the year. Also, I volunteer weekly at my local hospital’s ER unit for 4 hours each week. Total service hours = 100+ hours.

Test Scores:
I have taken the ACT three times. I got a 26 on my first try (28-English, 26-Math and Reading, and 25-Science). The second time I got a 27 (33-English, 25-Math, Reading, and Science). The third time I got a 29 (30-English, 29-Math, 31-Reading, and 26-Science) with an overall superscore of 30.

What are my chances?

What’s your GPA? Your junior year grades and senior schedule look good, EC’s are solid, and you’ve got a lot of volunteer work. Your latest ACT score is solid, too. Overall, I’d say you’ve got a great shot, stats-wise.

What do you plan on doing to show interest in GW? Have you toured the campus? Do you plan on an interview or anything like that? I’d say that if you make a gesture of interest and write a solid essay you’d have an excellent chance of getting in.

Are you applying ED2 or RD?

@NHuffer
My GPA is a 4.18 out of 4. I toured GW when I was a junior. Do they offer interviews outside of DC? I’m applying RD. Thanks!

I think you’d be able to do a phone interview if you wanted. Honestly, if you’ve toured the campus already I don’t think the interview would make much of a difference. Considering you already have a very strong application I’d concentrate on your essay.

Good luck, and let us know when you find out!
