Hi! So I’m a junior in high school and AU has been on the top of my list for a VERY long time now. I was wondering if anyone could help me out and tell me if I have a bad, okay, or good chance of getting in. My stats are a little iffy, but i have no idea if they’re good enough or what i could do to get in. Also, would early decision be a better idea? Thanks for your time!

Stats:
applying from georgia, spent most of my life in germany
GPA: 3.88 (hopefully a 3.9-4.0 by the end of my senior year)
SAT: 1790 (only took it once, taking again in summer)
1170 with just math and critical reading
4 AP classes: AP Physics, AP Calculus, AP US History, AP Lit
I was in the honors program for freshman and sophomores, and was in all accelerated math classes
I got a 730 on the German SAT II, I plan on taking math this summer
I tutor freshman and sophomores
100 volunteer hours
Member and volunteer at Red Cross
volunteer at a local nursing home
I’m in National Honor Society, the Support Coalition, Students Against Destructive Decisions, Buddy Club, and Health Occupation Students of America
I have been a varsity cheerleader all four years, I will be captain next year. and i played varsity soccer my sophomore year

The problem is I’m not really the leader of anything and I haven’t been using my summers wisely because I haven’t cared until this year AND we just don’t have the money to send me to any fancy trips. HELP!!!
