<p>At GW, it is much harder to get in Regular Decison than Early Decision. With your stats, I think you have a good chance if you apply ED1, not so good RD.</p>

<p>If GW is your number 1 choice and Financial Aid is not a requirement for you, apply ED1 and I think you will get in. Best of luck!</p>

<p>yeah, apply ED if you love it. But if you could improve your SATs above that then you'd probably have a chance RD, since your classes and extracurriculars look really good. Try to look at stats of other people that got into GW from your high school for a more realistic idea.</p>
