<p>If I apply ED2 or RD to Elliott for International Relations major, if my stats are borderline for Elliott but great for College of Arts and Science will they offer me a spot there or most likely just reject me/waitlist me if i dont get into Elliott.</p>
<p>You won't be deferred to the Columbian College. They use the same format to evaluate applicants across the board (with the exception of the School of Media and Public Affairs).</p>
<p>That's true for SMPA, but I didn't know it wasn't true across the board. My son didn't get into SMPA, but they "moved" him into a CAS acceptance. He was ED1.</p>
<p>nymom2sons- your son wasn't really "moved" to CCAS. By applying to SMPA he was also applying to CCAS. SMPA is in the CCAS school. Rabidchickens-I don't think it's easier to be accepted to CCAS than it is to the Elliot School. I think that's a misconception.</p>
<p>I didn't realize that... maybe because he was ED, they called him on the phone and asked if he'd want a binding ED acceptance to CAS.... it made it sound as though it was a choice.... that if he hadn't said yes, there wouldn't be repercussions for applying ED and unwilling to go to CAS without SMPA. It didn't really matter -- SMPA or not -- DC was the only city he wanted to be in... and GW the only school he wanted to go to.</p>
