<p>I am a Chinese student(non-immigrant) and I took the SAT twice:
CR:590 MATH:760 WR:690
CR:640 MATH:780 WR:630
SAT 2 :
Math 2C:800 Physics:800 Bio M:710
I am still in China so APs are no available here.</p>
<p>Will GWU be safe for me?</p>
<p>your math score is excellent, but the critical reading score is in the middle of the GW score range. i’d say, just based upon scores, GW is probably a match, but definately not a safety. what do the other components of your app look like? ECs? GPA? Major? Financial Need?</p>
<p>I want to go to the school of business and I really need financial aid. Is the admission to GWU need-based?</p>
<p>Oh we don’t use GPA to evluate students in China. I am always the top 25 in a grade of 800 students. I also published a lot of articles, including one on the city newspaper. will that help?</p>
<p>for international students, financial need is considered in the application process - GW is not need-blind for internationals. although this certainly won’t mean an automatic rejection, it is a slight obstacle to overcome. with that being said, GW does love diversity in their student body and geography may serve as a hook.</p>
<p>your class rank helps - its a good indicatior of academic potential, but what have you done to be involved in your school? student government? sports? clubs? i would certainly send the newspaper articles as an additon to your application, but do you have anything more that you have done outside of school? also, a good TOEFL score is essential for admission.</p>
