<p>I know how competitive the program is and I was wondering what my chances were on getting in. I am wondering how much emphasis is placed on the essay versus scores and experience. Thanks so much!</p>

<p>Other Facts
-Recs should be good
-Working on the essay currently-- anyone know how many words it should be? Is 1500 too much for such a small program?
-I am a legacy at GW. This probably makes more difference on being accepted to GW than the accelerated program but I figured I should write that down.</p>
