<p>My dad is good friends with a donor of GWU and brings all his children to GWU.</p>

<p>plzplzplz help me!</p>

<p>I think you’ll have a pretty good shot at GWU, especially since you’re applying ED.</p>

3

<p>I’d say you’re in!</p>

4

<p>thanks! and yeah, i think i have a pretty good shot myself but, my GPA kills me so badly! My Guidance counselor told me that if i got a 4.0 in my junior year with 4 IB’s and 2 honors, it shows strong reflections, WHICH IS WHAT I DID!</p>

5

<p>I too would think you have a very good chance. GW has pretty good IB acceptance rates, if I remember correctly. Test scores are within the range and SATII’s should help a bit. Extended and focused community service. In my opinion you definitely have a very good chance at admittance. </p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>

6

<p>Yes!!! :)</p>

7

<p>Why do all you guys say this lol.</p>

<p>from what i seen, 60% of the kids were top 10 percent of their class! </p>

<p>i really have doubts i could get in here cause of my GPA.</p>

8

<p>Do you guys think a bad freshman and sophomore year but Perfect Junior year would gain me acceptance to GWU?</p>

9

<p>apply early decision and you will have a good chance… Also, write a powerful, why GW essay</p>

10

<p>Do you know a loan for half the tuition is about $23,000 per year? That’s a LOT of debt.</p>

11

<p>my dad told me hes going to leave me 20,000 dollars debt when i graduate. I have a savings account from since i was little with about $50,000. </p>

<p>so all out its 80,000 dollars debt. it leaves me with 30,000 dollars left over from my savings account, which, i could work out.</p>

12

<p>Why not use the money to pay for tuition instead of taking out loans and then paying them right back off? You lose money in interest that way.</p>

13

<p>chances? im REALLY worried about my GPA and found out my GPA is 85.1% instead and that i calculated it wrong. =[</p>

14

<p>You should really worry more about your financial situation first before even caring about chances. Why worry about getting into a school you can’t pay for? But I think your scores and a strong set of essays will offset a low GPA.</p>

15

<p>I think your chances are good. I ask this question myself, lower a schools acceptance rate… more nervous I’am about applying, GWU acceptance rate is around 37%.</p>
