Hello I am a senior student who applied ED 2 for American University. I realized I truly fell in love with the school but feel as if I won’t get in. In my 9th & 10th grade year I didn’t do well in my studies because I was playing around. By the time I regretted that it seemed too late. I applied to AU for elementary education. My GPA weighted out of 5 is a 3.41. In total Iv’e taken 10 Ap classes, honors classes and some electives. My SAT is 1160 which is not really that good. I do NHS and Art honor society. I also teach Sunday school and teach English to a group of African refugees who are transitioning their new life in america. Besides that I did key club, girl up, international club, noble teens club all at school. Also I was in community service outside of school and I was a teacher’s helper for my former elementary teacher. I believe I have 4 good recommendations and expressed my interest in becoming an elementary teacher. For ED 2 what do you guys believe my chances are like?
I’m also applying, except RD, and I wouldn’t say my opinion has much of a basis, but you definitely have a chance! I would strongly recommend applying SAT optional. As long as your application is great, and you’ve demonstrated interest in the school, there’s not much more you can do. The stats are what they are, so just focus on what you can control, and don’t sweat it too much.
