Is GWU a Safety for me?

<p>I don't feel like applying to a state schol for a safety. Is it safe to assume that I will be in RD for GWU? I plan to retake SAT II's in Dec and I's in Jan. If I don't improve, then I might apply to a state school. So...?<br>

**I live in a small town and theres not many activities to get involved in.</p>

<p>Note:I didn't care that much about school and college until the end of 10th grade, thus the change in activities/grades. (3.850 wnw/ and 4.800 weighted from soph thru 1st semester senior year) I "quit" baseball because we no longer had a team (community).</p>

Thanks</p>

<p>I feel confident you will get in, but it's just too selective for as a safety. It admits about 35-39% a year, and I just think it is too much of a risk for you to apply there as a safety.</p>

<p>One definition of a safety is a school that admits over 50% of applicants, and you are in the top 25th percentile (or close to it). I agree with Hoo.</p>

<p>You have a good chance but it is far from a safety for you.</p>

<p>If they dont sort bymajor youll get in but they might be siuspicsious oif the EAS major u havenothgin to shwo yerinterested in it amnd that will hurt yiu!!</p>

<p>Hmf - who dug this up? </p>
