Lizmane,

I’m still mulling over your question. I doubt if you will be able to find stats for GW’s enrolled students (pretty sure even the common data set just gives the stats for admitted students) and I agree with CJ Madison above. If your goal is to be admitted, then you want to know where you stand in relation to other admitted students.

I have never seen GW publish score ranges for the ED students. I see that you like to analyze these things very carefully but I would caution against extrapolating too much from the information at hand. Admissions seems to be such a moving target that one year’s numbers can only guide, not predict with certainty.

Then there is the question of the score ranges for the individual schools within the university. While the respective admit rates were recently published in the Hatchet, the score ranges were not. I expect the University to keep that information close to the vest. Thus we add another degree of uncertainty to the equation.

I still believe that if a school is the student’s clear first choice (and the finances manageable, and you aren’t counting on 7th semester grades to significantly help your cause) then ED is the way to go. Test scores are only one part of the package anyway.

There are no certainties in this “game” but you’d have your answer in December.
