<p>I'm just starting to look into GW because I would love to go to school in DC but consider Georgetown a fairly high reach. I think I have the stats to get in ED (1420 SAT, 94-95 average weighted) but I'm not interested in applying anywhere ED. Will my chances of being accepted go down signifigantly if I apply regular decision.</p>
<p>Also will it really hurt me if I'm not able to get an interview?</p>
<p>Eric, based on what your advising i think you are solid regular decision but it also depends on the applicant pool and of course your ECs and essay. I am partial to GW because my d goes there and loves it but Georgetown is also a fantastic choice and going to DC is very exciting. Why are you reluctant to apply ED ? Are you applying ED elsehwhere? Anyway, GW is a great option. I suggest a visit.</p>
<p>Best of luck. BTW, you have a great name…</p>

<p>Thanks, I have enough EC’s to keep me busy 5 or 6 days of the week, but nothing special. I just don’t want to do a binding agreement, for financial reasons and so I can have options later this year. Speaking of financial reasons, I won’t be getting much aid if I apply in January either, will I?</p>
<p>why wouldn’t you be able to get an interview? imo it’s really important, and a regional representative should be in your area if you can’t make it to campus.</p>
<p>If you get an interview, then you should be fine getting in RD. GW doesn’t like to accept people they feel are applying to them as a safety, so make sure to demonstrate interest and write a killer “why gw” essay</p>
<p>Thanks everyone, but do you know how the financial aid for RD applicants is?</p>

<p>Thanks for the help everyone…one more question, am I correct in saying I am unable to schedule an off-campus interview until I send my common app?</p>
<p>You just need to send the first portion of the app. before you schedule an interview. Last year, there was more information about this at the applicant’s portal. But I know that my daughter mentioned her interview in her “Why GW” essay, so clearly she did not have to submit the complete app. in order to interview.</p>
