<p>I visited the school, kept in touch with a few students, had an amazing interview, and wrote my essay about a trip I had to Peru</p>
<p>and plus, even for myself, my sat scores were wellllll below the avg for the elliott school and for GW in general, but i got in, and i noticed others did the same thing</p>
<p>Most people on CC don't post if they are rejected, only if they are accepted. So you're not getting an accurate picture by just reading the accepted posts. As for your stats, GW does a very holistic reading of the applications, especially during the ED rounds. ED gives you a definite advantage. Pat, even though your SAT scores are below average, your class rank and GPA are above average and your ECs are strong so with the ED advantage I would have predicted you would be accepted. Mcatt and Theory both have politically-oriented ECs that were probably perceived as evidence of a good match with GW.</p>

<p>Accepted to the Elliot School of International Relations </p>
<p>I am a rising senior at a suburban public high school that does pretty well in college admissions.
GPA is 4.5 out of 5.3 (my school only does weighted)
Class rank is 27 out of 475.
SAT scores: Math 650,670
Writing 670, 680
CR 740, 700
Subject tests are Lit: 680 and World history: 710. </p>
<p>ACT: 30 </p>
<p>EC:
I am the Editor-in-Chief of my school newspaper and have been an Editor of it since my freshman year (Opinions Editor, Copy Editor, then Editor-in-Chief)</p>
<p>I am the Founder/President of the Model United Nations club at my school. </p>
<p>I am the President of the Midnight Run club, a club that distributes food and clothing to those without homes in New York City and the surrounding area. </p>
<p>I went on a pioneer trip to China with 12 other students as well as hosted 2 Chinese girls in my home.</p>
<p>I am also a member of other various clubs. Also, I have run one season of track and one season of cross country, and I have been participating in cheerleading since the end of my sophomore year. </p>
<p>Community Service:
Besides Midnight Run, I have volunteered for about 25 hours at a place in my town called El Centro Hispano, a place for people of Hispanic people of my area to come and recieve help in getting a job or a home, among other things.
I also volunteered in the Dominican Republic for a week at an orphanage through an organization called Orphanage Outreach. </p>
<p>Family History:
I come from a middle-class Caucasian family. My father went to George Washington University and my mom went to SUNY Stony Brook. My mom went to Pace University for law school and my dad went to the George Washington graduate school of political management.</p>
<p>Prospective..could you tell if the others that didn't get in were in your GPA/Test score range? trying to figure out if they are looking at that vs. holistic.</p>
<p>I think that they are doing a holistic appproach to the application. My GPA was very low (2.998) but my other areas were solid. In addition my grades in 9th and 10th grade were B/C and my grades in 11th and 1st trimester senior (which they saw) were mostly A's...</p>
<p>One of the people who were accepted had low SAT scores, and they were accepted.
In the two that were denied, one had a GPA only a little higher then mine with low SAT scores, and the other had a GPA a lot lower than mine and SAT scores that were good (or so I've heard). But neither participated in any clubs or did much EC's.</p>
<p>So it sounds like they are doing a holistic approach.</p>
