Essays: eh, not the greatest and pretty short. like 400 words o.o but i wrote about community service and gave a brief mention of when i visited. guess that showed i cared lol. </p>
<p>Congrats to all those who got in! And if you didn’t, you’ll definitely get into somewhere that you’ll be happy at in the end. :)</p>
<p>accepted to columbian :)</p>
<p>ACCEPTED. (School of Business)</p>
<p>I’m utterly shocked - GW was a reach for me…especially after being waitlisted to American. Who cares! Their loss.</p>
<p>GPA: 3.8
SAT: 1980 [CR: 660 M: 680 W: 640]
Strong ECs and Leadership, w/ semi-decent community service
Pretty decent essays - my GW essay gushed about the school itself, so maybe that helped.</p>
<p>Congratulations to everyone, and to all who were not offered admission, remember that it’s not the end of the world. It’s hard for even me to say this, but you should keep your head up high and remind yourself that you’ll end up going where you need to be, and you’ll be happy if you let yourself be.</p>

<p>General Comments:
I guess I’m glad I still have a chance, but this is getting annoying. After Wash U and Middlebury, this is the third school I’ve been waitlisted at. Unless I get into Georgetown (or one of the Ivies I applied to), I’m not going to know where I’m going until May/June. :/</p>
<p>@emaytay, you’ve been waitlisted because you’re over qualified for them and you’re probably going to be accepted somewhere better and you’ll obviously accept their offer over GWU. So it’s no use for GWU to accept people who they know aren’t going enroll. You’ll get into one of the ivies. =)</p>
<p>@gtfotu Thanks! I appreciate the confidence you have in me; I wish I had a little more of it :)</p>
<p>emaytay, im in the same boat as you. GW was one of my safety schools and i didnt get in, but i got into boston college, a much more selective school. It doesnt make sense.</p>
<p>[Boston</a> College | Best College | US News](<a href=“http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/boston-college-2128]Boston”>http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/boston-college-2128)</p>
<p>This says BC accepts ~30%. Maybe it’s a little lower than that in the last year or two. Still, that’s not “much more selective”. GW took 31% last year. Lower this year.</p>
<p>I think it’s time for guidance counselors to stop telling students that GW is a safety for them. Obviously, it isn’t a safety for anybody in the regular decision round.</p>
<p>denied…ouch…
But I got into Boston University</p>
<p>gpa: 94 unweighted/97 weighted
rank: top 10%

<p>Essays- were good but not stand out</p>
<p>Recs: great</p>
<p>If I interview or sent my art portfolio it probably would have helped.
Still sucks not knowing why you were denied.</p>
