<p>Hi, I’m a high school senior in Northern Virginia and I applied to American University. I just want to have an idea of my chances of getting accepted. I really want to go to American University since I feel that I fit in and I love the international scene it offers.
My stats:
GPA: 3.9 (W)
ACT: 27 superscored
SAT-did not send
I’m taking AP Physics C which is the hardest course in the school and I have a B, along with 4 other AP/IB courses.
I moved during my high school life so I did have to change schools. It really did hurt me academically (some of my grades transferred in lower) and socially because I went through a lot of family and financial problems. I lost my home two years ago and my brothers had both dropped out of college. My college essay revolved around my strive for a perfect life because I felt as if my life was far from perfect. Which is the reason why I’m writing it here.
I’m also Arab, if that helps in any other way.
Extracurricular activities:
–I did track junior year and senior year
–Vice President of Arabic Ethnic Club
–Secretary of French Culture Club
–active member of Key Club (volunteering stuff)
–active member of LASA (latin american Student association)
–interned at a doctors office part of my sophomore and junior year (from november to february)</p>
<p>I also Applied to George Washington University and George Mason. I got accepted to GMU :)</p>
