<p>Very good chances. SAT II’s aren’t necessary for admission unless you’re applying to honors, so don’t worry too much about those. Make sure to demonstrate interest-visit at least once (and do the tour/info session), INTERVIEW, write a great Why GW essay, and attend any regional info sessions.</p>

<p>I plan on visiting again this summer. Could I interview then?</p>

7

<p>Anybody…?</p>

<p>Yes, but only in late summer. I believe they started interviews like the second last week of August-- I remember I visited on the 30th, and they had only started interviews either the week before or that week. I think you can also interview off-campus, but I’m not positive.</p>
