I believe my essays were very strong and I did not read my recommendations, but the woman who wrote one of them knows me really well and said she wrote a very strong letter that was 4 pages long.
Any opinions on the chances of me getting in to GWU '22 would be greatly appreciated. This school is my top pick and I would love to go there. I plan on majoring in Political Communications. Thank you!!
