<p>Ok i'm a rising senior and i'm really worried about college admissions. I didn't really do well my junior year. I took all IB courses and got straight C's on my FINAL YEAR Grade. my first semester really messed me up. second semester was a lot better. but nonetheless final grades were C's and 1 A. two of my main colleges i'm looking at is George Mason Univ and George Washington Univ. My Stats:</p>
<p>Junior year final grades: straight C's 1 A IB Courses
Sat Math: 610
Sat Read: 540 (I'm taking 1 more SAT in Oct. i've been preparing all summer)
Sat Writ : 510
Some ExtraCurricular: Hospital volunteer
Kendo 6-7 years (martial arts)
VP of a club
Violin 6 years include senior year
Piano 12 years
IDK but 5 years of foreign language (latin)
and some more but ^ are "main" i guess</p>
<p>Is there anything I can do to get into GMU or GWU. i have backups as well so.
please let me know if there's anything i can do or if it's impossible. thank you</p>
<p>What is your cumulative GPA? </p>
<p>But from what you have said, GW is probably out of the question. I’m not sure about GMU, though.</p>
<p>sorry i left that out. gpa: weighted 3.37 unweight 2.62
if i do really well this year will it help? i know a bit too late but colleges still see senior grades.</p>
<p>ok so i’ve no chance. even if i do well this year.</p>
<p>Well, you can try to get a 6.0 GPA (out of 4) and raise your SAT score by 400 points. Good luck!</p>
<p>haha 6.0 but i am retaking the SAT i’ve been preparing with classes and prac tests. shooting for 2200 at least. so…</p>
<p>Look, all jokes aside, you need to start being realistic with where you are applying. The truth is that you aren’t even in the quartiles for GW and GMU. You’re numbers will get automatically rejected. With an application like yours, you should save your parents the $60,000/year tuition at GW and look into a good state school.</p>
<p>I know GW is out. but GMU i’ve got the SAT score in even without a retake. and its like $16,000/year tuition. is it still possible man? and I really appreciate your advice too.</p>
