<p><strong>Just for some perspective, a friend of mine got accepted into George Washington with 0 APs, a 3.55 unweighted/3.70 weighted, an otherwise weak courseload, and bad EC a few weeks ago, and while I didn’t read the essay or recommendations I chalk some of it up to the school’s admitedly inflated reputation</strong></p>
