<p>why do you need to see the SAT? I don't plan on taking that. I got a 29 on my ACT, and I think my ec's are okay. managing editor on newspaper, student government, NHS, israeli club board member, and I organize this HUGE charity event that our school has every year which involves an entire year of planning. I'm also in a special club at our school involving working with various charities and going to soup kitchens and helping local organizations. I'm a "leader" of that club.</p>
<p>Oh, because most kids take the SAT, and with it we can see where u rate against other students who are applying. But overall I think it may be a match.</p>
<p>^Of course not: According to the 2007 Princeton Review, for GWU, the range of ACT composite scores is from 25-30, and obviously your ACT score is at the higher end of that range.</p>
<p>29 is not bad, it's just not super high. I don't think you're a crappy candidate at all. Is your current HS competitive? The ACT is the school's way of measuring you against other applicants. Right now your ACT is the equvalent of a 1300 SAT.</p>
<p>My son is applying to several schools. His first ACT produced a 31. He took it again and got a 33. Why not take it again? A higher score will produce a better chance of admission, and depending on your major, pehaps even a merit scholarship. </p>
<p>Also, remember your ECs and recommendations are important, as well as your GWU interview.</p>
<p>Remember, with any school you are applying to, you want to present yourself in the strongest way that you can. Most students do improve their grades when they re-take the ACT, so I'd give it a shot.</p>
<p>Actually as has already been pointed out by momonthehill, it is a high score for the school rosn is interested in. I think moonmaid is a little too busy comparing everyone else's kid against her own. ;)</p>
<p>Great job rosn, you look like a solid candidate for GW.</p>
<p>"it is a high score for the school rosn is interested in"</p>
<p>GPA always seems to me to be valued more by GW than SAT's or ACT's. Rosn is in the top 15% of his class, applying to a school where 65% are in the top 10%, and around 88% are in the top 25%. So he is well positioned.</p>
<p>Just looking at GW's middle 50% for ACT scores of 25 - 30 can be misleading. First, only about 20% of the applicants even have an ACT score, and then many of those will have both ACT and SAT's, which rosn does not have. So looking at rosn's ACT score alone is not particularly indicative of how he/she compares to the other applicants.</p>
<p>"Actually as has already been pointed out by momonthehill, it is a high score for the school rosn is interested in. I think moonmaid is a little too busy comparing everyone else's kid against her own"</p>
<p>Momonthehill's response was a point well taken. I'm not sure what your subsequent remark adds to the conversation.</p>
