most likely a high match, slight reach. you certainly have a reasonable shot of getting accepted, particularly if you go ED, but i don’t know about getting a whole lot of merit aid. it would certainly do you well to give the SATs a crack, or retake the ACTs. if your scores improve, your chances of both admission and aid go up as well…particularly in the present test optional era, where only the better students are submitting their test scores

@Zoidberg93 Thank you for your input, but overall do you think I can get into GW if I apply ED, as they accept 70% of ED applicants?

you have a fair shot going ED, but if merit aid is something that you want to pursue, i would still recommend bumping up your test scores. since admissions is test optional now, you have literally nothing to lose whatsoever, but a lot to potentially gain (including cold hard scholarship cash) by giving the standardized tests another go.
