<p>Hey guys, I'm only going to be a junior this fall, but I'm hoping to get some insight on what I can expect come fall of my senior year! I really like George Washington, especially because of its DC Location which is top-of-the-line for politics, which would be my study.. Anyway, I really slacked off my sophomore year (imo), so I'm hoping that if I can pull everything up significantly this year, the upward trend in my GPA will help as well!</p>
<p>SAT- CR 620 WR 610 MA 600 ---- Kinda weak, but I took them my first time w/o studying.. obviously going to retake with more preperation.</p>
<p>GPA- This is where I'm nervous, Freshmen was 3.4 and sophomore brought it down to a 3.1 .... I'm praying that doing really well this year will take it up and show improvement</p>
<p>APUSH- 4 (Sophomore year)</p>
<p>Junior Schedule - AP Government US AP French Lang AP English Lang Honors American Law studies Honors Chem College Calc</p>
<p>EC: I'm hoping for this to be my strongest area</p>
<p>Class President 3 years , hopefully 4

<p>I REALLY love politics, so i'm hoping that my genuine interest in studying in DC will also help.</p>
<p>So what do you think!!!!?!? Thanks so much!</p>
<p>anybody help please!!!</p>
<p>hey I think you definately have a chance. Just make sure you raise that GPA as high as you can. I think you SAT’s awesome for a starting junior. Definately take those again later in your junior year. If your gpa does not end up as high as you want, make sure your SAT’s are high. You could probably get your SAT up gradually throughout the year. Your EC’s are great! Just keep on doing more, maybe join a few more clubs. Also, make sure you do some volunteer work. I think you will get in! work hard your junior year, but don’t kill yourself. you are definately on the right track!</p>
<p>SATs are much better than I could do (same age as you), and you could honestly just get in with those scores. And the GPA thing is a problem- mostly because it kinda shows that you weren’t really working hard (I’m hoping you were still in honors classes) and then you just woke up junior year like, “Oh wait, I have to do well to get into college!” But your ECs are really good and show your interest. I think you have a pretty good chance if you bring up the SAT/GPA and maintain your ECs. It would be cool to found a Politics Club or something.</p>
<p>chance me back?

<p>Thanks for the input! Anybody else?!</p>
<p>you must have some sweet pecs if your a lifeguard, hopefully the female college admission counselors see that.</p>
<p>Should I attach pictures with my application? :)</p>
<p>Well, i thought that no matter what we tell you, it has no affect on what the college will tell you. We can all tell you that you will get accepted, and then you get denied. So why not just have some fun with it, and get a smiley icon out of you.</p>
