<br>[</em>] major strength/weakness: Live in a small town, lots of extracurriculars I guess
<br>[<em>] why you think you were accepted/rejected/defered: Well my stats are definitely below, so it must have been my extracurricular stuff
<br>[</em>] Other Factors:
<br>[*] going to attend? I think so, if not here than Washington State or Pacific Lutheran</p>

<p>GW has a very low yield rate, so they often reject overqualified applicants because they do not believe that they will enroll. That would explain why some of you with great stats did not get in, but those with much weaker stats did.</p>

<p>What do you think the acceptance rate is at GW this year? Averagae SAT, ACT and GPA</p>

<p>The acceptance rate this year was 36% overall; the exact same as last year.</p>

<p>Decision: Aceepted!!</p>
