Ahhh sorry - I think as you note money matters. But only 39% submitted last year.
And ED acceptance is quite high although it includes athletes, etc.
They don’t list gpa in the cds. But they show a 3 year average of 3.66 on their website.
I think if you are full pay it happens but id have safeties ready in case.
College of Charleston would be a good urban barbell - hope for GW - but have not quite an urban but very urban back up.
If you have significant need, I’d think against but if you’re paying $90k a year (full pay), I think you get in.
But, of course, only they know.
Ps - don’t worry about the admission counselor knowing who you are. You applied ED. You needn’t convince them. ED does that and more as you are bound if accepted.
Good luck.
