PLEASE CHANCE ME: George Washington University and American University

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I am really interested in George Washington University and American University (more GWU though). What do you guys think my chances are?</p>

<p>-I am a Mexican-American male from the West side of the nation
-GPA: 3.93 unweighted (don't have a weighted GPA b/c my school doesn't have those kinds of classes)
-Rank: 5/90
-SAT: 1780/2400
-ACT w/ writing: 25 composite (my writing score was 08)
(I know my test scores are low, but I am hoping everything else I have will help me)</p>

<p>-Extracurricular activities:
•Key Club member
•I am a mentor at my school
•Involved in a community service club
•TRiO Upward Bound
•National Honor Society Member
•Student Council officer
•Class Vice President
•Class Secretary </p>

<p>-My school does not offer AP classes, but I am dual enrolled my local community college and have been taking a full college load for the past 2 years.
-I believe that I wrote really good admissions essays. I was definitely proud of them!
-I also have done a lot of community service (i don't know if they look at that though).
-I have heard that being a URM helps, so I am hoping that it is a hook for me.</p>

<p>So what do you guys think? I was also considering applying to the honors programs for these schools. I know they are competitive, but I have nothing to lose! Any thoughts?</p>

<p>I think you’ll get into American. GW is a toss up though. Good luck!</p>

<p>You’re in at American, likely at GWU. Did you interview with GWU? Just out of curiosity.</p>

14

<p>No, I did not do an interview. In fact, I did not know that GWU did interviews. Perhaps an interview would be a bit hard because I live on the other side of the nation from GWU. Hmmm…</p>

<p>I think you’re definitely an in for American. I don’t think they prefer SAT or GPA, but one of them has to be strong. They also value diversity and like taking students from the west coast.</p>

<p>Your test scores may hurt for GWU, but I don’t think it’s a reach.</p>
