I’m about to apply, tell me my chances at these Universities:
Top Choices: George Washington University, American University, USC
2nd Choices: UC San Diego, University of Denver
Safety: ASU
I’m a Female from Arizona
Hispanic
Weighted GPA: 4.3
Unweighted GPA: 3.8
Rank: 8/367 (Top 2% of class)
ACT: 25 (awful I know, but I’m really bad at taking standardized tests)
AP: AP Lit, AP Gov’t, AP Physics, AP Lang, AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP US History
Honors: Hons. Pre-Calc, Hons. English 2, Hons. World History
Activities: Entity World Winterguard (International performance), Captain for Colorguard, National Honors Society Secretary, Cheer 11th grade, Track 10th grade
Community Service: 100+ hours and created some projects
Recommendations: My AP Lit and Creative Writing teacher, he’s an author that has several books published worldwide and he said he’d write a great rec for me. Also my band teacher whom I’ve known for 3 years now.
So what are my chances at these Universities? I know my ACT is what might break my resume but as I’ve said before, I’m awful at standardized tests because I get so nervous all I do is watch the clock instead of actually doing the test so I lose time and have to guess the last 10 questions or so… :/
I’m not applying to Georgetown, but George Washington is my top choice right now so if I’d get accepted, I’d definitely go and then American is my 2nd choice. I want to major in International Relations and minor in Communications or Journalism. And I really hope that my ACT score won’t ruin my chances
Do you plan on taking the SATs? If not, it’s probably a definite that you won’t get into any of these schools. I would also suggest taking the ACTs again. Other than that, you sound like you would have a solid chance. It would be a shame to see someone with such credentials have everything go down the drain for a little thing like that.
