Son's Chances ?

Colleges and Universities A-Z George Washington University

<p>Son a junior in very good public high school in MA. Has a 4.7 weighted GPA (out of 6.0) -- have no idea how this translates on the 4.0 scale but he is a solid B student, having taken 3/4 of his classes at the Advanced level. Will take 3 APs next year (Bio, Stats, Latin); President of Latin Club; varsity golf and crew; few other clubs at school throughout high school and has done a bit of volunteering and will work at a law firm this summer.</p>

<p>School doesn't rank, but he's in top 30% (75/260).</p>

<p>SATs: 700M, 620CR, 520W -- will take again in June.</p>

<p>Also, not applying for financial aid -- does this even matter?</p>

<p>Anyone out there with honest opinion would be most appreciated! Thanks.</p>

<p>Maybe try to get a little higher on the writing portion, and cr possible...a 630 on both would be solid. Also, maybe find a good place where he would like to volunteer a lot...some hours would be a good addition</p>

<p>i would think he has an excellent chance. Like a 98 percent chance. I don't think the writing portion of the SATs matters all that much yet.</p>
