<p>are they telling you to choose ONE only? I wrote about a couple of reasons...</p>
<p>Attach an essay of no more than 500 words indicating what most influenced you to apply to The George Washington University (required of all applicants). If you are applying to an accelerated or special program, also explain why you are interested in this program at GW.</p>
<p>They are telling you to attach an essay on why you applied to GW, then only if you are applying to an accelerated/special program, add your interest into your essay.</p>
<p>yea I get that but do they only want one reason (without the special interest)?</p>
<p>Since it says “most” I’d assume it means one reason, or group of reasons.</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter if you give one reason or more than one. What matters is that your essay shows the reader a bit about who you are through your answer about why you want to attend the school.</p>
<p>A few reasons couldn’t hurt, I guess.</p>
