<p>^ Oh man that sucks...I heard they seem to be waitlisting their best applicants this year with some crazed case of tuft syndrome...I feel bad too cause I have about the same stats [3.9 GPA 2260 SAT] and i want to get into the honors college!</p>
<p>my friend was waitlisted too
theres been quite a few so far eh?</p>
<p>How much interest did those who were waitlisted show?</p>
<p>I had an interview with a rep at my school and visited the campus.</p>
<p>i didnt have an interview but i visited. i twas prob because originally i was rejected from their BA/MD program but i still wanted to be considered for their regular admission .they prob. just thought i wouldnt go. also on that question where it said what other school are you applying to on app) i had some ivies, and other top schools. i guess they felt like a safety .. which they kinda were..so yea haha</p>

<p>This was very surprising, I'm coming from an incredibly competitive high school in Massachusetts.</p>
<p>I was accepted but I didn't visit or interview or show any sort of additional interest (except for sending in my complete application). My Why GW essay was pretty convincing though, if I can say so myself :P. Plus, they might've gone for the whole "regional diversity" thing, being from AK. I'm shocked that quite a few have been waitlisted with those excellent stats!</p>
<p>I was accepted with a 3.8w. I never had an interview or a formal tour of the school or anything. My friend was rejected and had toured the school.</p>
<p>I was waitlisted</p>
<p>2220 SAT (combined)
3.93 UW, 4.3 W
Eagle Scout
President of Debate Team</p>
<p>Accepted at UChicago. Kind of makes no sense, haha</p>
<p>the stats i'm reading here make no sense at all! what's going on?</p>
<p>happycollegemom, I'm thinking exactly the same. Honestly, when I saw my decision, I started laughing, because it is just so absurd</p>
<p>No idea how much weight they put on it but during the info session while I was visiting they talked a lot about personalizing the "Why GW?" essay. Apparently they feel like they get a lot of recycled stuff from other schools and are unhappy about it.</p>
<p>I felt my essay was uniquely tailored toward GW and the whole D.C. scene. End result...weightlisted. I dont want to say George Washington is very guilty of Tufts syndrome.......but honestly ***. Seeing as it is my #2 choice, and not a "safety", i may want to appeal.</p>
<p>yeah, i got waitlisted too. it's definitely pretty embarrassing... but i can't complain since it was my last choice school to which i applied, added as a last-minute safety. don't i just feel soo safe now? haha</p>
<p>I think that GW has a really bad case of Tufts syndrome. My child was accepted at U of Chicago, Johns Hopkins and the Honors College of our State University with a ton of merit aid offered, but was waitlisted at GW. Many students in her class, with far lower grades and boards and less ECs were admitted. I have seen this happening for several years.</p>
<p>If you carefully check the stats of accepted students on the GW board, you will notice that numerous students with 2250+ SATs and 3.8+ SATs were accepteed. So the results can't just be explained by "Tufts Syndrome." GW does a very careful, "holistic" admissions assessment. Other variables such as maturity, independence, self-direction as well as plans to utilize the unique resources of a city school such as GW are taken into account. GW's atmosphere is very different from the traditional campus environment and is a good fit for a certain type of student. This is taken into account in the admissions process.</p>
