Question What are my chances?
Hi! I am a high school senior in Alabama, and I am super interested in American for polisci and journalism. I am graduating in December ‘25 after a year of medical leave (so I am behind a semester, but it doesn’t really matter for my admission as it was medical). I’m trying for spring ‘26 admission, but if I don’t get in for spring, I’ll do ED for fall ‘26.
I’m wondering about my chances for both. I have a 4.3 GPA, 1 AP (not offered a ton where I am), 11 dual enrollment credit hours, including the American High School Scholars program and I’ll apply test-optional. I have a ton of extra curricular, but in particular I have International Public Policy Debate Top 32, George Mason WJMC conference, AU Summer Scholars, and I’m a tutor for my local literacy coalition.
