I think you’re a “weak match” (in the lower range of accepted students) primarily from not having more IA-related EC’s. If there just isn’t many available to you at your school, I think that a mention of that in your app would help. Your overall suitability for GW, though, is very good in case you list other schools/majors as back-ups. Your grades and ACT are very good, and your sports time and work/volunteer efforts are notable, as well.

Good luck, and be sure to keep us posted!
