<p>how much easier it to get into GW if you apply early decision</p>
<p>bumppppppp</p>
<p>yea... 60% where as if regular is around 35%
with early D anyone can get in. basically. GW actually want early d options for all peopl thats why they have early 1 and early 2!
really if you want to get in do early 1 you will get in even if your stats dont match</p>
<p>I don't want anyone to be misled and be set up for disappointment by thinking "anyone can get in" to GW if they apply ED. That is just not true. I know people at our school who were rejected ED. Their stats were just too low. Yes, it it definitely easier to be accepted ED, but chico123's statements are a vast exaggeration. GW does holistic admissions and will take the time with their ED applicants to really review the total person and their fit with GW and give a little more leeway with ED applicants stats if other aspects of the application are strong.</p>
<p>I know people who were also rejected ED. Anyone cannot get in, total exaggeration! Keep your grades up, show a sincere interest and you will have a good chance. I do believe GW looks at the whole student and not just the test scores. But, admission is still competitive, IMO.</p>
<p>chico your comments were rediculous, irresponsible and certainly misleading. 60% NO WAY! Anyone can get in! Rediculous again....plesae back up your statements with some facts please.
I know about six kids who applied early, 2 got in and 4 rejected. OF the 4, two had over 2000 SAT's and high GPA'S adn that is a tiny fraction of the students who did not get in.
Competition to GW is more competitive than ever, slightly higher chances to get in ED yes, but its still tough.</p>
<p>ctmomof3, i just looked it up and found that chico123 had some truth in that the acceptance rate for ED was 63% in 2007. That being said, maybe Chico was being a little extreem. Thanks for all of the comments though</p>
<p>I think the reason the acceptance rate is higher ED is that people generally apply ED to schools where they know are a fit, not a stretch. Since not all qualified candidates can get into the school of their choice, ED simply shows greater interest and commitment, and lets them be properly evaluated. GW is definitely a school where people who are passionate about politics, journalism, etc, are very, very happy. I think that's the deal here. I highly doubt a candidate with just average boards and GPA has a shot, no matter what.</p>
