<p>I'm really involed in theater and am next year's activties coordinator. I'm also in class government, play soccer, volunteer at a nursing home. I plan on getting involved in more next year. ohh and i took the SAT's earlier this year and got a 680 CR, 690 Writing, 600 math. i want to end up with a 2200 cumulative. I'm taking three AP's next year and more senior and am in other honors classes (next year will DEFINITELY have better grades).</p>
<p>Still kind of early but in the future provide your GPA (Weighted/Unweighted), Class Rank (i.e. top 20%), Total # of AP’s taken/planned and their AP scores - not just school grades. More and more colleges are looking to see if you took the AP Exam and if you passed (usually consiedered a 3 or higher). Of course GW only gives college credit for 4’s, 5,s.</p>
<p>SAT’s for 1st time not bad, but try to improve - especially MATH. Consider taking the ACT -my “D” did great on the ACT and avg on the SAT. You never know! GW accepts the best of either.</p>
<p>Right now I would not venture a guess - repost after junior year grades.</p>
<p>Study hard and show an improving trend - always favorable to college admission officers.</p>
<p>thank you for replying and everything!
well i go to a pretty big school and am in a class of 1078. i know i’m in the top 25% but am close to the bottom of that. next year i’ll prolly be able to get up in the top 20, but i don’t think i have a shot at top 10.
i’m waiting for AP and SAT subject test results.
oh and i know this is a kind of weird addition but i’m really interested in foreign languages and music but can’t fit anything into my schedule. so im teaching myself basic spanish (i took latin so that should help) and sign language and learning how to play piano. i’ll continue this through high school. do you think it’s something that could potentially set me apart from other people?</p>
<p>Here’s the scoop - Most important 1. GPA/Difficulty of curriculum taken (e.g. # of AP’s taken compared to what your school offers), then 2. SAT/ACT’s. 3. GW Interview/Demonstrated Interest (e.g. Applying ED).</p>
<p>Everything else is much lower on the totem pole in terms of importance. There’s AP Scores, SAT Subj Tests, Class rank, School Counselor Letter/Eval, Essays, Personal letters of Rec, EC’s.</p>
<p>So - clearly maximize the 1st group and you’ll be fine. the EC’s are “icing” on the cake.</p>
