<p>I say you're in. I'd shoot higher if I were you, like Georgetown if you get your ACT up (like a 30)</p>

<p>eh...i wouldn't hold your breath for anywhere like georgetown.</p>

<p>I had basically your extra curriculars...and top five percent of my graduating class...and got a 34 on my ACT...and I got rejected from Georgetown. I got into a lot of other schools but AU offered an amazing scholarship.... Unless you're filthy rich(or relatively poor) you're going to need some type of merit scholarship to afford a high caliber college. I would get your ACT up....apply to a lot of schools and just see which one is the best fit/value/education for you. and Keep AU in mind.</p>

<p>AU is a great school from everything I've seen in visits and from what the majority of people have said. I also thinky you have an extremely good chance at getting in.</p>
