<p>I would recommend applying ED. I am not too certain about your GPA; however, your test scores seem acceptable for Elliott. Please emphasie your interest and geniune passion in your essays, especially “why GWU” given that the prompt is there this year. Best of luck!!!</p>

<p>I would second recommending applying ED (if you are able to). Your GPA isn’t outside the norms… and what really matters with regards to your GPA is class rank anyway. You really want to be in the top 10%. Test scores are within the normal range.</p>

<p>Since you recently discovered your love for IR you need to articulate how you came to decide it was the major for you and how being at GW will allow you to accomplish your goals.</p>

<p>Overall, I think you stand a good chance. Best of luck!</p>
