Pretty good ECs, course rigor, etc.
Ouch. I’m a little disappointed, but I’m not gonna take up a spot that could go to someone else who’s deserving. I think I’ve officially decided on Virginia Tech. Congratulations to everyone who got in! If you attend GW, I hope you have a blast.
If you look at the Common Data Set for GW last year: 5629 students were offered wait list, 2082 accepted spot to stay on wait list, 16 students admitted from wait list. They don’t specify if wait list is ranked.
ACCEPTED to CCAS as a Biological Anthropology major with $24,000 scholarship, rejected from WLP
Stats
GPA: 98.5
SAT: 1430
I honestly believe my strong point was my ECs, I had leadership positions in many activities and I have been involved in almost every one for 4 years.
I know this process can be scary, I remember spending hours scrolling through these forums when I was looking at schools. Just give it your all and trust that you will end up in the right place! Good luck to everyone!!
accepted to Columbian College of Arts and Sciences! 4.12 GPA, didn’t send my test score, got 24K a year for Presidential Academic Scholarship award. But declining offer as I am attending UCLA in the fall instead.
Accepted to Elliott with $24k scholarship!! Kind of surprised because I never visited but I’m really excited!
SAT: 1530
GPA: 4.41w, 4.0u
I have an internship with the federal government which is what I wrote my essay about and I think that really helped my application. I also got a large financial aid package so I’m very grateful. Congrats to everyone!
@JZMom8 Very similar to my daughter. Deferred at GW today, denied at G’town and accepted at American into their scholars program with $15k a year scholarship. Also accepted at the University of Maryland with an invitation to their FYRE program. SAT 1460, top 10% of her class, numerous APs in difficult subjects. However…weak ECs and I don’t think she engaged at all with GW over the past school year. I thought that based on stats alone that she would get in, especially given that her sister got into the Engineering school 4 years ago with lower SAT scores, and was offered $12k a year.
