Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello everyone, I was just wondering what my chances were for AU, GWU and Georgetown... here are my stats:</p>

<p>I am a: Caucasian Female & Polish Immigrant (7 years in the States)
ACT: 29
SATs: No SATs. Is that tolerable?</p>

<p>GPA: 3.9 Non-weighted, 4.4 weighted
Mostly an A student/honors and AP classes, might have one or two B's on transcript</p>

<p>Rank: Top 2% (out of 436)</p>

<p>This year's AP courseload: taking AP English Literature & Composition, AP European History, AP Spanish V (skipped one year of Spanish this year, from Sp III to V AP)</p>

<p>EC's: National Honor Society, Spanish Honor Society, Spanish Club (Vice-P), Freshman Tutoring, Tennis/Badminton in previous years, as well as Speech Team, Quiz Bowl</p>

<p>Addit.: Election Judge during Illinois Primaries in Feb., Equipment Manager (polling station leader) during National Elections in Nov.</p>

<p>Awards: Exceptional Student Award for Modern Languages, Alumni Award for Excellence in Social Studies, Honor Roll, Illinois State Scholar, Art Award</p>

<p>Intended Major: International Relations and possibly Linguistics</p>

<p>I am also wondering about the need-based and merit-based aid offered at these schools - particularly at AU. Would anyone happen to know about the aid packages?</p>

<p>Be brutal please, all feedback appreciated!</p>

<p>Your Transcript is clearly your strength. The GPA and class rank looks amazing, Course Load looks fantastic, and your weighted average looks great. However, ECs look somewhat mediocre, and there isn't any reason to like your EC over a lot of other applicants.
Skipping 1 year of Spanish might not help you, because I know countless hispanics in my area who have done just that. Your lack of SAT isn't going to harm you, but just make sure your colleges accept ACTs!</p>

<p>Your ACTs aren't bad for a fairly competitive applicant, but they can definitely improved. A good rule of thumb is 30+ for the more selective colleges like Georgetown.</p>

<p>So overall, i think you have good shots (Matches) at AU and maybe GWU.</p>

<p>Georgetown looks to be a low reach or a medium Reach, I'm not exactly sure.
Again, few things in your application stand out or would truly impress me If I was an admission officer.</p>

<p>I think you’ll get into AU. GTown wants 3 SATII tests, so probably a ‘no’ there. GW is a high match.</p>

good luckk!!</p>
