<p>I was wondering if anyone could tell me my chances for George Washington University and American University. Also, I would appreciate a rating for my chances at their honors programs and scholarships. I am currently a junior</p>
<p>SAT: 2400 scale - 2030 ,1600 scale - 1330
SAT Subject test: World History - 640 ,U.S. History - TBA
AP's: World History - 5, U.S. History - TBA
I will also be taking AP U.S. Politics and an AP language course next year (I am a non - native by the way)
GPA: Weighted - 4.02
All of my classes are honors classes. Even though individual class grades are not weighted, my school only offers weighted GPA's.</p>
<p>By the end of senior year, I will have taken four years of English, four years of Math, four years of History, four years of Foreign Language, three years of Science, and three years of Engineering.</p>
<p>Extra Circulars: I have been in about five or six clubs for different amounts of time in my school. I have held an extended leadership position in one club. During last summer, I interned for an elected official. I will be returning this year and working on his campaign.</p>
<p>American University and GW are my top choices, and I have visited both schools.</p>
<p>You’re a match for American. I don’t know how much weight GWU puts on ECs because that seems to be your weakest point, but I bet you’ll get in at both.</p>
<p>I am also a member of the National Honor Society. Also, my school does not rank.</p>
<p>You definitely have a chance for AU, GWU you probably will get into also (these are the schools I’m applying to). I honestly think your weakness is your AP courses. It seems as if you have only completed 2 AP classes? Colleges (especially GWU) like to see how many AP courses your school offers and then see how much you tried to challange yourself.</p>
<p>Maybe his school doesn’t offer many.</p>
<p>My school does offer a few, but I have taken the only AP’s my school offers in history (I will be majoring in political science)</p>
<p>In all honesty, GW and American are not very difficult schools to get into. You’ll be fine.</p>
<p>I COMPLETELY DISAGREE! I have not checked stats on American, but GW is VERY DIFFICULT to get into. For the class of 2014, there were well over 21,000 applicants and only 31.5% were accepted (you can readily confirm this via web search), so don’t let anyone get your guard down. </p>
<p>Also, check this year’s GW thread on admissions/rejections/waitlists for sample stats. You will see a number of disgruntled posts, but the bottom line is you want to be accepted. You don’t even want to be waitlisted because the yield for GW (i.e., a student’s acceptance of GW’s offer of acceptance) has gone up significantly!</p>
<p>Your gpa and SAT scores seem to be ok. I agree with rokAng3l that the number of AP courses appear to be on the low side. On the other hand, you will want to maintain above a 4.0 in the hope of avoiding any unpleasant surprises at the end. You will have to think about this one. </p>
<p>GOOD LUCK! I hope you get in.</p>
