I’m applying to GW for the fall 2019 semester, Regular Decision. I was in a severe accident last year that caused me to miss over a month of school (consecutive days) and a lot of time after that, causing my grades to PLUMMET. I wrote my essay on that to explain it to all of the schools I’ve applied to.

I think you’re still a good match for GW despite the grades. Just make sure to include a reason in your app and you’ll be good-to-go.
Good luck!
