<p>Your extracurriculars and ACT score definitely balance out your GPA (which isn’t “awful,” especially if it shows an upward trend). Looks like you’ve had a lot of leadership positions and are involved in a variety of activities, which is good.</p>

<p>Another plus is that you’re not from the east coast (which has the biggest representation here). GW likes midwesterners (I’m from Wisconsin) because there aren’t as many of us.</p>

<p>Write some interesting essays and I think you’ll get in. ED1 helps a lot, too. Good luck!</p>

<p>EDIT: if you’re listing your awards on a resume, list NHS and AP Scholar last. Everybody has those.</p>
