<p>I think you have an excellent chance. My daughter had a similar high school record and got in, with merit aid. And she's from a state where lots of kids go to GW. I know the school is eager to get kids from outsidet the northeast and mid-atlantic states, so being from the west coast will prob. give you an edge. Good luck</p>

3

<p>Was it good merit aid?
Because it would be awesome if i could get like 5k off tuition or more.</p>

<p>Where does ur daughter go?</p>

4

<p>I think you have good chances.</p>

5

<p>Your chances are good. I would maybe also mention to my guidance counselor to write a recommendation that talks about the slow start and the huge upward trend.</p>
