<p>you have a recommendation from jesus…?</p>

<p>I’d say you have a good shot at getting into the honors program. They say that 1350 (Old SAT 1) or higher and a 3.8 and higher is what they are looking for, but Stats don’t mean everything, and you have a good balance of EC activities as well. Congrats and best of luck.</p>

<p>buffi - why are you asking about Honors at American? Didn’t you get into GW ED ?</p>

<p>he also said he got a rec from jesus, i think hes just *<strong><em>in around.
he is still applying to other places while he waits to get his aid package from g dubs. for whatever reason though, he actually believes elliot is the *</em></strong> when I can honestly say… it is not.</p>
