<p>Pump it up a bit to get at leas another 300 points total. But GW is one of the few school that looks at the whole package, and a good essay, personal touch, will allow them to know you better.
Good luck</p>

<p>Everyting looks good but try and improve your reading score on your SAT's and maybe try The ACT's</p>

<p>Your class rank will compensate somewhat for your low SAT scores, but you should still work really hard on trying to bring those scores up. Your current SAT scores are significantly below GW's average. Maybe try taking the ACT. Some people do much better on that test than on the SAT.</p>

<p>Maintain your grades, and improve your verbal score and you have a good shot. </p>

<p>And if you study for the verbal you can definitely improve it.</p>
