<p>Thanks! Does anyone else have an opinion too? Is there something I could do to make me a more attractive student?</p>

<p>You seem like a good candidate for George Washington. Considering other things you could do to improve your chances, your ACT score and SAT II scores could be improved a bit. But your extracurriculars are fine and, as far as your GPA goes, I’m unfamiliar with the 100-point system; but I’ll assume a 93.521 is considered quite high. Good luck!</p>

<p>Please, don’t retake the ACT or else you’ll suffer from Tufts Syndrome. And try to demonstrate interest: contact adcoms, contact faculty, get on their mailing list,</p>

<p>I got in touch with the admissions office and I’m going to meet with a student and sit in on a class. Hopefully they’ll know I’m really interested!</p>
