<p>I don't go to Gtown (yet, hopefully!), but I would say that you are a very strong candidate. Remember that the number of applicants EA to NHS over doubled this year, so it will be difficult to know how many applicants will be accepted and what they will be looking for. Also you did not post you SAT scores, and if you only took the ACT, that's fine, but you still need three SAT II scores to apply. Otherwise, I would say that you are a strong candidate, and if you are deferred EA, I would say that you have a good chance RD.</p>

<p>Thanks
I'm much more worried about the lack of awards and ''WOW'' ESs than my grades and test scores</p>

<p>Well they don't ask for awards that you have received. However, if you have received some, I suggest you ask your counselor to put that in his/her rec. The would also rather see you in a few committed ECs than lots of ECs that you have been in for only one or two years.</p>

<p>bump?
sorry..</p>

<p>I think you have a shot whats ur major?</p>

<p>International Health</p>

<p>bump.. . .</p>

<p>were all of your AP's you listed from junior year?</p>

<p>Soph and Junior, there are 3 more (Physics, Art History and Stats) that are offered, but I'm not going to take any of them. I know I should, but I am terrible at physics, unfortunatly, I have no interest in art, and don't care for any additional math classes. =&lt;/p>
