I am doing SAT optional because my sat scores suck
I want to major in Biophysics
I have 5 leadership positions in student gov and clubs and also captain of the tennis team.
I have about 15 extracurricular activities
I have a bright and vibrant personality.
I am an honor roll student.
National honor and Spanish honors society.
I am taking all honors/ap classes.
My College essay was about moving to America and how it changed my perspective on my education.
You have a good shot and you have a great school in your back pocket already!
try to get your gpa up to al least a 3.75 gpa
try taking subject tests
Have you already applied or are you applying for class of 2022?
@adlor21 i applied for fall 2017, class of 2021
@Crazyideashere I think you have a good chance! I’ve applied as well. To be honest though, you’ve already submitted your application and there isn’t much more you could do. Decisions come out next week, and I hope you the best.
@adlor21 Thank you so much I appreciate it, GWU is literally my dream school.Good luck to you too!!
@NHuffer do you think I have a chance?
@Crazyideashere Yes, you have a chance, although it’s definitely a reach. As I’m sure you know, your GPA is below what is commonly accepted, and you don’t have high test scores to compensate for that. Further, you didn’t list any volunteer/community service.
Regardless, if GW is your dream, don’t let a deferral discourage you. Wherever you end-up, do your best freshman year and reapply as a transfer. Good luck!
@justincheng @NHuffer
Sorry for the late post, I got in and also surprisingly I got into Yale too
@Crazyideashere That’s excellent news! Congratulations on both!!!
