major strength/weakness: strength would be hooks and ... thats it. weaknesses would be GPA, scores, rank, and location.

going to attend? Yes. Dream school.
Other Factors: Showed interest in all ways possible</p>
<p>I got lucky. I have lower scores, etc than most on here. I just knew the right people, i think. So excited.</p>
<p>yea its not test scoress at all..its really about showing interest...gw wants to accept students who will benfit as much from gw as gw will benefit from them..hence the higher acceptance rate for ED1 and ED2 even though some may have lower test scores or stats (i had only an 1180)...im not saying you didnt show interest..im jus sayin in general its very bigggggg to have interest</p>
