Hello all, I applied Early Decision to American University and am so nervous about hearing from them (hopefully very soon) about whether I am accepted or not. Honestly, how do you think my chances are? here’s a few basic things about me:

3.94 GPA unweighted, ranked #3 in class out of 182.
IB Diploma Candidate, nearly all IB classes, mostly As, one B, possibly another B this semester.
National Honor Society Member, volunteering at school carnivals, raising money for various causes, blood drives, etc.
Won a scholarship for a foreign exchange two summers ago to Finland (through YFU)
Nomination to National Youth Leadership Conference and Global Youth Leadership Conference
Extensive volunteering over the summer at local library - summer reading program for kids.

I live in Alaska, am white/caucasian, and am 18, if that matters at all. Thanks a lot! I really hope I get in.
