Hey Guys! I am applying for American University ED 1 this year and I am wondering if I can get in. I am Student Council President as well being in leadership roles in my school’s Political Science and MUN team. I have gotten straight As in a ton of honors and AP classes with the exception of Honor Physics which I have gotten C’s both semesters. My ACT is 28. Is that good enough to get into the college?
Obviously a higher ACT would help, but as an ED applicant you have a decent chance based on your grades and EC’s, especially at a political school like American. Ok, so you messed up in Physics. We can’t all be engineers.
Your key words are I’m applying ED1. ED1 has an over 90% admittance rate. 2 C’s and the rest A’s is about a 3.8 and a 28 ACT is perfectly acceptable. I think you will be fine.
I think your chances are pretty good. Run the Net Price Calculator to make sure it is affordable. It’s a wonderful place to study, but it isn’t known for being inexpensive.
