<p>Basically, is the acceptance based more on numbers or on other things?</p>
<p>I would venture to say the student with better number is far more likely to be accepted, but the other student has a shot too.</p>
<p>I think GW is making an effort to improve their profile, and they are also getting many qualified applicants-I think the first student would get in but 1100 is pretty low, so I think the second student would not…</p>
<p>It’s all about numbers…“ties” go to things like great essays, many ECs…</p>
