Transferring to George Washington University from Community College

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

I am a sophomore in the honors program at my local 2-year college (actually one of the best in the country, look it up: Miami Dade College).

I would like some speculation as to what my chances of admission are and how much non-loan aid I might be able to receive. The thing I’m worried about most is that GWU practices “need-wary” admissions, and as you can tell by my EFC, my family doesn’t make much.

GPA: 3.58 / 4.0

              All classes lower than an A are not relevant to my major.


CREDITS: 72 credits by the end of the current semester

                      Will have an AA with Honors Distinction


EC's: 

     Work 22 hrs/wk to support family

     Pianist in college’s jazz band.

     ~90 hours service learning

     Student Service Organization
