My brother is going to be starting his senior year of high school. His top three choices of schools are George Washington University, Georgetown, and American University
1. Which school is best? His number one choice he is applying to is GWU
2. Does he have a good chance of getting in? (see below)
*He is in all Honors and AP classes. He has A’s and B’s. GPA=4.0. That is a perfect but not when in AP classes, but It is still descent,
*SAT-1900
*ACT- 29
*VARSITY swimmer (although he isn’t planning on making swimming his career. He wants to go to these school for academics, NOT athletics)
*Belongs to a scholar program
OTHER THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
My brother is very smart. YES, he does have book smarts but they are not the best of the best. Though they are pretty good. What makes him so smart is his common sense. His brain is like a fact book. He loves history and can tell you all about events that occurred and how it has impacted our contry. He could drive himself across the country just by looking at a map. He doesn’t need a Navigation system. He can carry on an iIntelligent conversation with people. He is a great speaker. He has great relationships with his teachers. He is a VERY conservative republican and wants to join the tea party. BUT, he is not the best test taker. Like I said, he HAS book smarts but not the amount to get in to harvard because he does get some B’s in some classes. But where he does best is in common sense. I can go on and on. Do you think he could get into one of these schools?
BTW: He wants to study LAW.
They are all good schools. The trouble is they are located in one of the most screwed up, expensive cities in the world.
