My Chances at GW?

<p>Ok, I really wanted to avoid doing this but the anxiety has overcome me...</p>

<p>I want everyone's input on my chances of getting into GW (George Washington University...but if you didn't know what it stood for I don't want your feedback.).</p>

<p>Here are my acedemic stats:
-3.7 GPA (Unweighted)
-Top 20%ish in my class
-ACT:28 (32-Writting)
-SATII's:
-US History: 700
-French: 650
-Suburban Minneapolis (Minnesota...duh)</p>

<p>APS: (US History: 4) (Euro History: 4) (Writting: 4) (Gov: 5)
-Also take French at the U of Minnesota-TC</p>

<p>Other Relevant Stuff:
-Study Abroad to Argentina (Only 6 Months)
-TONS of volunteering: (Summer intern for US Congressman), (Two other political Campaigns), (Tutoring Students in Minneapolis), (Tutoring ESL students at my school), ("Kids Voting" Precint Judge and Student Overseer),(The United Way), (Liason/Adviser to Exchange Students)
-1st Chair Saxophone in Concert and Jazz bands
-A couple Clubs (International, French, Knowledge Masters (Captain)
-Apperently I got 3rd place in the United States in National Current Events league when I was in ninth grade (Just found a certificate)
-Really Strong Teacher recs (I read one, it made me cry).
-English (First Language), Spanish (Almost Fluent), French (Pretty good)</p>

<p>Ok, I think thats the info people usually post for these things. I would appreciate some input, positive or negitive (but don't make me cry). GW is my first choice but I am on the fence about wheter or not I have the stuff to get into the Elliot School Of international Affairs. My school has a pretty good history with GW (Last year 12 people applied and 9 got in). If you want more info let me know and I'll tell you if I have it. Thanks for all of your help!</p>

<p>Are u serious you have scholarship potential
My dad is a prof there, you'll be definitely in the top 10 % of the applicant pool, why not take a shot at Georgetown</p>

<p>gw is most definitely a match for you...i agree with zag21...try for georgetown</p>

<p>just as an aside, the interviewer strongly encouraged me to apply for the honors program, so you would prob qualify as well with similar stats...
i'm top 11% and 30 ACT (perfect writing score) with internship with feingold...so i think you still have a chance. they will LOVE all your international stuff too i'm sure</p>

<p>Hey thanks everyone,
I am relieved that I am a good candidate. I have visited Georgetown and I am sending them my application tomorrow, but I feel like it is more of a reach for me (A lot of people from my school apply there, especially a lot of my friends who have better stats than I do- IE president of NHS, Class body President etc). I have my heart set on a school of international affairs and Georgetown's School of Foreign Service is REALLY exclusive so I doubt that I have what it takes to get in to Georgetown. What about the Elliot School at GW? I know that ED I people found out today, I would be intrested to know the stats of ED I people who got into Elliot. Again I appreciate everyone's advice, if you have more comments I would LOVE to hear them. Thanks everyone!</p>
