<p>Any chances?</p>

3

<p>With ACT of 28-</p>

<p>American/GWU/Tulane is more of a match</p>

4

<p>Even with my GPA? I’m definitely shooting for a 28, and it won’t take much, I hope. I have high reading/English/science stores, and then a horrendous 22 on my math. All I need to do is remember a few more formulas… lol</p>

<p>I think the average gpa at gwu is 3.5 </p>

<p>at american:
* 34% had h.s. GPA of 3.75 and higher
* 23% had h.s. GPA between 3.5 and 3.74
* 19% had h.s. GPA between 3.25 and 3.49
* 17% had h.s. GPA between 3.0 and 3.24
* 6% had h.s. GPA between 2.5 and 2.99
* 1% had h.s. GPA between 2.0 and 2.49</p>

<p>at tulane
* 34% had h.s. GPA of 3.75 and higher
* 17% had h.s. GPA between 3.5 and 3.74
* 16% had h.s. GPA between 3.25 and 3.49
* 19% had h.s. GPA between 3.0 and 3.24
* 12% had h.s. GPA between 2.5 and 2.99
* 2% had h.s. GPA between 2.0 and 2.49</p>

<p>per collegeboard.com</p>

<p>ACT is too low for Seattle U</p>

7

<p>ACT Middle 50% at Seattle University = 22-28
56% score in the range of 24-29</p>

<p>My school sends kids to Seattle U every year, often with lesser stats. I’ve went on a tour of the campus. I’m pretty confident I’ll get in.</p>
