<p>What are my chances? Do I even stand a chance? My essays were okay. My recs were great.</p>

<p>I just do not know- that 490 is a killer.</p>

<p>The 490 is not a killer. You have a resume’ that is packed with stuff but it doesn’t show a passion for anything other than having a full resume’. The question you need to ask is, how have I shown that I am a good fit with GWU? Have you been in touch with your regional Admissions Rep, have you visited GWU, have you spoken to people at college fairs,have you signed your name as asking for more information? Request an interview and show not only what GW can do for you, but what you can do for GW…( I sound like JFK ). I am not trying to be mean, I am trying to show you what is important to all colleges. My daughter carried an SAT score similar to yours. She just made the Deans list after her first semester at GWU. Show you belong! Good luck.</p>

<p>that’s a really weird split. did you take it more than once? let me know what happens, i have no idea how to call this one</p>

<p>Since the decisions come out next week- there’s not much more you can do. Plus, you’ve already shown the ultimate interest by applying ED. Good luck.</p>
