Im wondering if anyone would also mind chancing my daughter. Shes really into gw, absolutely loves DC area, but we honestly knew nothing about tracked interest until last month as the guidance counselors at her HS dont care and do as little as possible, even finding her somewhat of a pain bc she wanted mostly OOS schools. I tried to help as much as possible but I only handled this process with a CC, so thats much different and easier
She has a 3.85 uw 4.04 w
No test scores reported
Very strong LORs, great essays but Im pretty sure Im biased there but she had other teachers etc look them over too

Your ACT score is above average, but if I had to guess, I think you have a great chance. Good luck!

Your ACT score is awesome and the fact that you have experience at a local college stands out. I think they might balance out your GPA, but once again, I’m not an officer–I just want to motivate students waiting for decisions because I know how it feels. Good luck!

Several posts, which I deleted, bordered on bullying, which is unacceptable. Please be mindful.

Which “chance” are you looking for ? Do you have a favorite of these & did you do any others RD ?
GWU is a great school, but UCSD is also an excellent option, especially for her major! (coming from a CA native so I’m a little biased 
)

Totally agreed its an amazing school especially for neuro, coming from OOS its still a little more than we will probably be able to do, tho not entirely out of the picture, its a long shot. I hate a lot of the scholarships she qualifies for we wont hear from until after she has already needed to make a decision. Still waiting to hear from gw, bu, usc, & washu, before she makes any decision- all of which are private so theres usually more funding available for low income OOS students. Of course that means theres also more competition. My niece graduated last year and it seemed like there were sooooo many more scholarships available. (Or more likely, the opportunities for her to win small awards thru the year weren’t canceled all year long as they have been for this year seniors)
