<p>Good: SAT (although, unfortunately for you, GU does not look at the writing portion of the SAT, I believe), 1st Gen, African American
Bad: EC’s
Unknown: Interview, essays, recommendations, etc. </p>

<p>GPA doesn’t look great, but since your school doesn’t rank, there is no way for me to know for sure. Your Math II seems a little low for a math major. </p>

<p>Overall, I like your chances. However, as stated, the information GU learns in the “Unknown” category above is crucial.</p>
