Do you guys think I have a chance for George Mason University?

<p>So my grades are horrible, 2.8 GPA overall throughout my first 3 years of high school. 2.2 freshman year, 2.8 Sophomore year, 3.4 Junior year. Yeah, horrible I know...I deeply regret not doing anything in my first two years. For senior year, I have a 4.1 GPA, but college only look at the first semester of senior year grades? So overall, my high school GPA is 2.9-3.0, counting the first three years and first semester of senior year. Would GMU consider looking at the grade trend?</p>

<p>For Freshman year, classes I took were: English 9, World History 1, Geometry, Biology, Spanish 2, PE 9, and Design&Tech</p>

<p>For Sophomore year: English 10, World History 2, Algebra 2, Chemistry, Spanish 3, PE 10, and Marketing.</p>

<p>For Junior Year: English 11, US VA History, Precalculus, Physics, Spanish 4, Marketing, and Gourmet Foods.</p>

<p>For Senior year: English 12, AP Government, IB Math Studies, Geosystems, IB Spanish 1, Business Law, and Information Systems.</p>

<p>I have a low SAT score also...1670.
Critical Reading:480
Math:620
Writing:570(Essay:8)</p>

<p>As for extracurricular activities, I don't really have much. I'm a member of Spanish Honor Society, DECA(An Association of Marketing Students), and FBLA(Future Business Leaders of America). I also did volunteer work for Operation Smile:a charity group that helps kids with cleft lip and palate. </p>

<p>We don't have class ranks in Fairfax County Public Schools.
I'm Asian.</p>

<p>So any chance I make it to GMU?...Thanks!</p>

<p>I think you have a shot. Try writing an amazing essay that will get you noticed. Also, schools like an upward trend in grades. Good luck!</p>

<p>^Hey, thanks for the reply man.</p>

<p>I think you have a pretty decent shot. And remember, better an upward trend than a downward one.</p>

<p>^Thanks for the reply.</p>

<p>I took the SAT again, and my highest scores combined is 1760. CR- 560 and Math- 620. Writing- 580. </p>

<p>I don’t know if a 90 point increase in the SAT would help that much or not. :(</p>

<p>a 90 point increase is statistically significant if I remember correctly, so yes, it should help.</p>
