<p>Why they are weird: I think GW knows that some people think they can use them as a “safety” RD, so every year at decision time, people with great stats are rejected. Look up past years if you want to see- there is a lot of outrage. I am convinced that these are people who had no prior contact with the school, so I think you are fine if you have acted interested so far. You could even stay in touch with the admissions person from your area.
I was in the Honors Program and liked it very much. I think you will be accepted, with Honors Program, and merit money in addition to any FA you qualify for.</p>
