What are my Chances at GWU?

Colleges and Universities A-Z George Washington University
1

I’m an OOS student, from California, my school is really rigorous and ranked #5 for academics in California, #109 in the US. My mom graduated from UW

Scores

GPA: 3.41
9 AP classes, heavy rigor (I’m aware I have a weak GPA, I had under a 3.0 sophomore year because I transferred to a really rigorous school and it came as a shock to me, but junior year I have a 4.25 weighted)

SAT: 1300

ECs: Mission trips through Church, Varsity Swimmer, started Investment Club at school, I volunteer at my Church, I’ve started a social media marketing company valued over $200,000 (worked with companies such as McDonalds, Universal Studios, and Disney).

Senior Year Courseload: AP Statistics, AP Literature, AP Government/Economy, AP Art History, and several electives.

I want to apply to colleges such as GWU, University of Washington, Colorado University, or any UCs (not including Riverside/Merced)

Thanks in advance!

Besides the lower GPA, your EC’s make up for it so I would say you have a good chance still

I’d say you have about an ‘average’ shot. Yes, your GPA and SAT are at the lower-end of the average accepted student, but your EC’s are impressive and show a dedication to serve others. Also, despite your GPA, the improvement from sophomore year to this year should help your case.
