<p>Interview/ email your admissions representative- tell them how much you will thrive there and really let them know… “As a member of the GW class of 2017 I will do (something good that applies to you), I have had a plethora of life experiences that are unique to me and my desire to be here is so incredible”… something like that… just trying to help… Test scores should be better, you’re major isn’t that competitive so you will be fine… </p>

<p>Overall you are in the low-mid range of applicants, its not a match for you, its a definite reach but its not impossible, you can do it!!! (crossing fingers for you)</p>
