<p>Hey everyone, I just wanted to know if I had any shot at getting accepted into GW. Here are some of my stats:</p>

<p>SAT II: World History: 740</p>

<p>GPA: 3.822 (weighted) 3.52 (unweighted) Class Rank: 78/362</p>

<p>Course Load:
All academic classes have been Honors courses plus two AP's this year. I plan to take five or six AP's senior year.</p>

<p>Extra Ciruculars:
Volunteer at the local SPCA
Volunteer at the Red Cross
Volunteer at the Salvation Army
Member of Kare (community service club at school, and will be leader next year.)

I also learn Chinese and Hindi outside of school. In school I learn Italian, German and, next year, French. (If you haven't noticed, I focus a lot on languages. I also speak Korean.)
I plan to a) Get a job this year or b) get an internship with my State Senator (if I can..) or c) get an internship at the local courthouse.
Applied to PA Governer's School, and will attend either GU's Summer program or GW's Summer Program if I'm rejected.</p>

<p>Sorry if I sounded like I bragged in this post. Didn't mean to, I'm just getting it all out.</p>

<p>while your list of extra curriculars are impressive, you only have what, 2 leadership positions? i mean, thats not bad but it doesnt make your extra curriculars as strong as they could be</p>

<p>aside from that, the SAT wouldnt be a problem if it was offset with a very high GPA... unfortunately a 3.5 UW doesnt qualify into that account... id say that if you got the SAT up to around 2000 you'd have a solid chance... without an SAT rise probably slight reach/reach</p>

<p>If you are able to maintain your GPA and raise your SAT scores to the mid 1900 range; I believe you will have a good chance of being admitted. Don't stress about it though, just focus on school work and studying for the SATs.</p>

<p>if you have a poor GPA (3.3,3.4) but everything else was fine/great do you think GW would look it over twice or would they just look at the GPA and toss it
Cheers</p>

<p>happycollegemom, my GPA is also around the 3.3 - 3.4 range, so I'm a little nervous too. I'm hoping that my ECs, reccomendations, and essays are all superb enough to balance it out, but my relatively low class rank still gives me some worry.</p>
