What Do You Think???

<p>Hi!</p>

<p>In September I'll be a junior and I'm really interested in GWU. I'm thinking about applying ED1 to be a Criminal Justice Major. I would like to know what anyone thinks of my <em>chances</em>. </p>

<p>(final grades have already come, but final GPA/Rank hasn't)</p>

<p>UW GPA ---> 3.99/4.67 (calculated myself)
W GPA ---> 4.55/5.83 (unsure)
Rank ---> at least top 40%</p>

<p>I haven't taken my ACTs or SATs yet.</p>

<p>Freshman Year:
all regular course levels with all A's</p>

<p>Sophmore Year:
moved up to accelerated level courses (weighted higher than regular, but not yet honors - prepares you for AP/Honor level courses later) with A's and a couple B's</p>

<p>Junior Year:
registered for all accelerated and a few honors</p>

<p>Senior Year:
might try all honors</p>

<p>ECs:
I have several leadership positions as President or VP of clubs and programs at school, I've been a lawyer 2 years in a row in Mock Trial (might be for all 4 yrs), I'm a member of student council and a member of the community service committee. I am a part of many other good EC's too including many projects with the government and my church. I plan to join more over the next 2 years. I am doing or I will eventually do an internship with a law firm (currently), at the DA office, and with a psychiatrist.</p>

<p>Awards:
I have won two awards in English for writing. I have won 3 Spanish awards. I have won 1 Business award. I have 2 school spirit awards so far (for community service, academics, spirit, and participation). I have also made the Deans List everytime. More to come.</p>

<p>I'm sure my counselor and my favorite teacher (had her or will have her for world history, law, sociology, politics, and foreign policy studies) will write great recs.</p>

<p>I've visited DC 5 times and the GWU campus once. I plan to revisit the campus next year and my senior year. I want to have an interview too. Also I'm thinking about doing GWU's Summer Scholars program next summer in Criminal Justice.</p>

<p>I know this is long, but What do you think of my <em>chances</em>? </p>

<p>Thanks!! :)</p>

<p>Might be worth taking APs. Let me know how your test scores go.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply. I take my PSATs in October and my ACTs/SATs later next year, so I'll let you know about the scores.</p>

<p>I spoke with my counselor a couple days ago about next year's schedule and she wants to add AP US Gov't/Politics and move me up to AP US History. So I'll be taking 2 APs next year and if they go well, more in my senior year.</p>

<p>Thanks again!! :)</p>
