<p>Greetings everyone,</p>

<p>I live in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. I currently attend one of the top JESUIT high schools in the country. VERY competitive, although we do not rank. white male-middle class</p>

<p>Intended Major: Education ( i dont know if that helps or not)</p>

<p>Stats:
Freshman year GPA-3.6 (low i know) didn't exactly try my hardest.
Have not yet taken the ACTor SAT. Expect to do well. Pretty good history of doing well on standardized test.</p>

<p>Sophomore year-Expecting at least a 4.1. I'm done messing around. Going all out in effort
Taking the hardest course load my school has to offer including the only AP possible sophomore year (APUSH)</p>

<p>Thank you for reading. Any opinions on my chances would be tremendous.
I know it may be early, but I am just looking for input.</p>

<p>Come back after you’ve actually done those things…like in 2 years</p>

<p>I’m curious - why do you want to go to GWU for education? Not something I see mentioned much as a major there.</p>

<p>Also, Georgeton has more of a Jesuit affiliation, which you may want to consider</p>

<p>this kid is such a weirdo ! haha…</p>

<p>If he only knew that he will be unable to do any of those things that hes attempting to by the time he applys.</p>
