chances for sophomore

<p>Hey just wanted to know what my chances were havent really done much. </p>

<p>SAT:
Critical Reading: 540
Math:620
Writing:480</p>

<p>GPA: 3.66(unweighted)</p>

<p>Freshman year: mostly honors classes A's and B's one trisemester of straight A's</p>

<p>Sophomore year: most honors one ap A's B's C's </p>

<p>EC:</p>

<p>Wyldlife Leader (middle school ministry)
Golf
have about 40 hours of service</p>

<p>Your SAT total is 1640. You'll probably need to get it up to around 2000.</p>

<p>By the time you apply, you should have at least a 3.6 unweighted, unless you have a crazy difficult schedule, in which case you can probably go as low as a 3.4 unweighted.</p>

<p>If your very serious about attending GW you should definitely visit and interview, or even apply ED. Interest plays a large role in admissions. I know quite a few people from my school who were much more qualified but got turned down, probably because they didn't visit while I visited twice.</p>

<p>Your ECs are good enough; they won't help you or hurt you. Unless your a golf star.</p>

<p>Your major is also going to play a factor.</p>

<p>3.4 isnt really the minimum my school is pretty competitive for a public and plenty of people with 3.1s-3.3s get into GWU, though it might make Elliott a bit harder</p>

<p>You got a good chance my man.</p>

<p>I don't think it's fair to mislead you. I think some of the other posters are being too optimistic. I checked naviance to be sure, but at our very competitive high school the lowest GPA GW accepted was one 3.4. Everyone else had 3.5 +, with an average of a 3.8. As for SATs, the lowest was a 1200 (CR + M), with the average at 1335 (CR + M). The trend over the years has gotten more competitive. This year, no one with below a 3.6 was accepted (that was an ED acceptance) and the average SAT was a 2030 (CR + M + WR). You'll really have to bring up all your grades and test scores to have a realistic shot.</p>

<p>Actually, upon rereading your post, your grades are within range, but you must work on your test scores, especially your writing.</p>

<p>Your grades are ok. You need to get those test scores up and work on the extracurriculars. Not everyone's a 4.0 student at GW, but the vast majority of people I know had high test scores and stellar extracurricular/leadership credentials.</p>
