“GW is pretty competitive, but it definetely looks atFeb 09 2005Political Science
GW is pretty competitive, but it definetely looks at the whole applicant, not just scores and GPAs. GW is known for rejecting/waitlisting people with SATs in the 1400-1500s because they think the applicant is using them as a safety. Really focus on essays in your application! They're definetely important.
SAT: 1380 Female

“Be honest on your application and get involved withOct 05 2004Business - Management and Administration
Be honest on your application and get involved with something...SGA, work, whatever. Also if you don't think you have the grades, apply to a department that has a small population and needs students. That way you can transfer after first year within the University without worrying about competing with students outside of GWU. For example, the business school is very competitive. Apply to the drama dept., take general prereqs that are required for every Freshman then switch majors your second semester...that goes for all Universities, not just GWU.

Don't believe posts about this school being that easy to get into. I had several friends that applied with 1300-1330 SAT's, 3.8-4.0 weighted GPA and they were flat-out rejected. I think class rank, number of AP's, and definitely visit for an interview (or request interview with a rep in your area).
SAT: 1300 Female
