I know a few people who got into AU recently. I'm 90% you'll get in, but if you only want to apply to AU, make sure you apply early!!! My friend got some great scholarships from them.

Good luck!

If you can, retake your SATs. And how bout SAT IIs? Does AU require any? Great ECs though and nice class ranking.

Could you chance me? I'm applying to Wharton.
Applying to Wharton.....is there any chance??

Oprah!

i think you're in great shape to get into American
HOWEVER, it definitely depends on what major you write down.
if you say that you want to study international relations, you are at risk of not getting in, because American is one of the top schools in that major, and you will be competing against thousands of other applicants who, will probably have higher SAT scores
if I were you, if you are doing international relations, although this is kind of lying (shhh), I would apply under a different major and then switch once you get in.
But that's assuming that you want to do international relations. if not, you're a shoooo in.

love ya and good luck honey!
