I think you have a great shot! GW’s journalism school is a good ‘target’ school for you, in my opinion.
Make sure to place emphasis on your work as school newspaper editor and the competition that deemed you one of the best writers in your county. GW loves it when your EC’s line up great with you intended field of study. This is especially true with SMPA, because the programs have a cap on the amount of people allowed to enroll/be admitted.
Yes GW needs more writers. I also highly recommend the Yale Writer’s Conference. Get a GW degree and come to YWC and make everyone oh so jealous so as to bring more sexiness and fervor to the “Hatchet.”
