<p>3.3 out of what?</p>

3

<p>3.3 out of a possible 5.9 (= 100 in AP)</p>

4

<p>Apply ED1 and interview on campus and you will have a good shot at getting in. Accpetance is much higher applying ED at GW. With your Stats, it would be tough to get in RD. Best of Luck!</p>

5

<p>You need to get your GPA up. Way up.</p>

6

<p>You definitely need to interview, and, if GW is your first choice, apply ED 1.</p>

<p>I had a slightly better record than you and got in off of the wait list, mainly because I visited twice and interviewed. I applied RD.</p>
