<p>Also my recommendations were pretty great, one was a GWU alumni. My essay was about my increasing interest in Foreign Affairs through high school/college and being the first to come out of the close at my school in a rural area and its positive effects basically.</p>

<p>You have a good shot. I’d say submit your ACT score instead.</p>

4

<p>I second Seachair86442. Submit your ACT scores only. You seem to have a good shot at both schools.</p>

5

<p>^ There’s no “r” in my name.</p>

<p>My apologies Seachai86442. :[</p>

<p>Lol… it’s okay.</p>

<p>well applications were already submitted about a month ago and i ended up sending all of my scores not really knowing how to go about doing so, i also sent my SAT2 which were horrible in the 500s,so its somewhat clear Im better at the ACT I hope they will recognize haha</p>

<p>Also, with an EFC of around $3700 what will my financial aid package look like?</p>

10

<p>Wow. I would be in such a similar situation like you by this time next year if I decide to transfer… but I think your ECs are much more impressive!</p>

<p>Thank You, when I applied however I did not list everything, I just filled up all of the spaces on the electronic application and mentioned a few in the essay.</p>

<p>Do you think the alumni recommendation holds any weight either? I’m really worried about my scores :frowning: Also are decisions May 1 online, or are they sometimes done a bit earlier?</p>
