(I know these are really low, but in my defense I had a fever while taking the test. Also, I'm unable to retake it at this point but I in practice I am scoring about a 28-29 on the ACT, so assume I were to get that.)</p>

<p>GPA- Very weak (for GW…), can’t get into high school NHS with that GPA. </p>

<p>SATs- Low</p>

<p>ECs- Fine… somewhat interesting, actually, with robotics team and language learning.</p>

<p>APs- Good number of AP classes. </p>

<p>What kind of grades are you getting in physics/science classes? Any unique projects?</p>

<p>Any chance of SAT IIs or SAT again?</p>

<p>Any race or special hook? Are you from rural Alaska? Impoverished? Single mom? Illness?</p>

<p>Maybe with a stellar essay and recommendation letters… </p>

<p>Apply to some dream schools, but also apply to safety schools that match your numbers. You can as many realistic options of schools as possible when it comes time to choose a school based on financial aid. You don’t want to not apply to a school you’re interested in, but don’t ONLY apply to schools whose average admission stats don’t match yours. Apply to some schools you know you’ll get into, too. Don’t let not getting into a dream school bother you… it’s just a college. You can always try again by transferring later, or attending grad school elsewhere. Good luck.</p>
