Chances at GW?

Colleges and Universities A-Z George Washington University

<p>Hey I was wondering if somebody could tell me what my chances are at GW.</p>

<p>I've lived in Taiwan for the past 10 years, American Citizen, and am applying to the CCAS undecided.
I go to a small Christian HS with about 250 HS students. There are only 50 people in my class so class rank is not available. The school has some pretty rigorous courses. Although they're just regular courses, they are pretty much the same as honor courses in the states.</p>

<p>I've taken AP Chem last year and got a B in it, and i'm taking AP Calc this year which i'm not doing very good at.. i got a C. However, I'm taking one of the hardest courses at my school since they only allow you to take 2 APs a year.</p>

<p>My CUM GPA up to my junior year is 3.66, but after my senior first semester grade it's now a 3.64. I did horrible my freshmen year... 3.18 and 3.56 but jumped to a 3.79 and 3.91 my sophomore years.</p>

<p>SAT I V550/M730
SAT II MathIIC 650; Writing 480; Chinese Lst 800
(Do SAT IIs matter a lot for GW?)</p>

<p>My ECs are:
Manager of a Student Store; 11,12
Missions Trip to China; 11
Varsity Basketball Team; 12
School Worship Team; 11;12
JV Basketball Team; 10
Class Officer - Vice president; 9
Model United Nations; 12
JVb Basketball Team; 9</p>

<p>I know very little about how GW evaluates international applicants, but your scores look decent considering your background, and your ECs are pretty good. I think you've got a good chance and you should hear soon! Just out of curiosity, what is "Worship Team"?
Good Luck!!</p>

<p>hey i go to a christian school, so we have chapels every week and worship team is basically the team that leads the student body in singing and praising to God :)
anyway, do you think i'd be considered as an international applicant if i'm a US citizen?</p>
