<p>I applied RD to American, and I’m just wondering what my chances are at getting in. I’m fairly confident in my GPA and SAT scores, and I have a good amount of EC’s. Any comments will be nice, thanks.
Here are some of my stats:
3.7 GPA
1280/1930 on SAT I
ECs: Class President (9-11), Model U.N. President (12), Drama Club, Peer Mediator, Principal’s Cabinet, NHS, Italian Honor Society, History Honor Society, Writer for school newspaper, JV/Varsity Football (Captain 12), JV/Varsity Lacrosse, Fall Drama, Spring Musicals (lead roles 10-12, with nomination for award in 10th grade), Acafellas (a capella singing group), Madrigals (selective singing group),
Community Service: Sang in church choir, coach in youth basketball league, buddy ball sports (worked with mentally and physically challenged children)</p>

<p>2 letters of recommendation and a pretty good essay</p>

<p>I’m just wondering what people think and how I compare to other applicants, thanks for any comments.</p>

<p>You’re a good match.</p>

<p>Middle 50 GPA: approx 3.5
Middle 50 SAT: 1730-2050</p>

<p>You’ve got a wide range of ECs which makes you a well-rounded candidate, and you have community service, which AU in particular places a huge value on. You also should get some fairly decent merit money.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>Thanks for the response, that’s very nice to hear. Just out of curiosity, what are you majoring in at American? I’m thinking about doing Political Science or something along those lines.</p>

<p>Middle GPA and SATs are for accepted and matriculating students, and does not represent either accepted or rejected applicants.</p>

<p>mini, what do you think my chances are, average SATs and GPAs aside?</p>

6

<p>I’m clueless. It would depend on what the other applicants look like, wouldn’t it?</p>

<p>This is very true haha. I am looking for peoples’ opinions and I got yours so that’s all I can ask for. Thanks either way.</p>

<p>I think you’re definitely in. SAT’s and GPA are spot on and EC’s are great. Class rank?</p>

<p>Thanks david, my school doesn’t rank, but I’m pretty sure I’m at least top 25%. And yeah I’m hoping my EC’s will help me out a lot. And I’ll chance you right now haha</p>
