I have a unique situation and I was hoping you guys could help. I was homeschooled for high school, but I did all my coursework at the community college. I was accepted at Northern Arizona Univ. this fall, and I’ll be going in as a 16 year old sophmore (becuase of my cc credits). GWU said that if I applied to them from NAU, I would have to apply as a transfer (even though I’d be going there at 17 lol). How competitive is their transfer pool, and do I even have a shot with these credentials? If I don’t, I’m considering staying at community college another year, and applying as a freshman.

SAT: 1870 (I took it my freshman year)
HS/CC GPA: 3.9 (some is also honors credit)
Work experience: Assistant Director of Finance for the Mayor of Phoenix (I’m basically a political fundraiser.)
ECs: CC Student Body President, VP of Fundrasing for Phi Theta Kappa, president of art club, and head delegate for Model UN.

I also have personal letters of rec from my CC President, Mayor of PHX, and Senator John McCain.

What is in my best interest? Should I continue at CC, and hope I get in as a freshman or should I go to NAU and try to get in as a trasfer? What type of competition am I up against?
