Your friend should definitely apply if G-town is his dream school. Although he doesn’t have stellar stats, he has a lot going for him. He has good extra-currciulars and if he writes some killer essays, he should be fine. I would also recommend applying EA; it would be indicative of his interest in the school. Moreover, he’s a URM-that’s tons of points! BTW, Im going to G-town this fall, Im African-American, and I scored a 1670 on the SAT. Although I had a 3.7 GPA, which may have compensated for my mediocre SAT score, your friend still has a good shot. I think the committee is just looking for a well-rounded student. Best of luck to your “friend” and I would love to know how everthing goes.
