Wait listed at George Washington... Why?

<p>I just found out that I was wait-listed at GW, but don't understand why.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.86 unweighted
SAT: 2080
ACT: 32</p>

<p>I also had 2 AP classes, the rest honors, and 5 APs I'm taking this year. It was not my top choice and have already decided to go somewhere else, but am just trying to figure it out. I applied as a Biophysics major. Could that have been a factor?</p>

<p>“It was not my top choice and have already decided to go somewhere else”</p>

<p>Why exactly do you care then? That was the reason.</p>

<p>In their recent interview, they talked about the essay being the main thing that keeps people out. You either didn’t seem passionate about the school (which you probably weren’t since it wasn’t your top choice) or your common app essay seemed uninspiring.</p>
