<p>Not certain b/c of your GPA. My ACT/SAT scores were similar but had an unweighted GPA of 3.8. According to my Admission Rep GW really does strongly consider GPA vs. test scores. So I recommend that you start showing a lot of interest, ie. interview, contact with Ad Rep in order to increase your chances.</p>

<p>Sorry- did not answer your question, I think the upward trend in senior year should help but you still should show extra interest if GW is one of your top choices.</p>

<p>I had an interview for the school actually. It went really well – was able to effectively explain how GW and its location is perfect for the type of education I benefit from (very hands-on; finding ways to make it applicable).</p>

<p>Not an easy shot for sure, but you also have good reason to be slightly optimistic. To me, it could go either way, and I wouldn’t be surprised.</p>
