<p>It’s true, GWU seems to exhibit Tufts Syndrome - a phenomenon by which schools waitlist applicants with relatively high objective stats in order to keep the school’s yield rate high. </p>
<p>But many times, it could just be that the admissions committee didn’t find anything interesting about your application. GWU DOES admit students with very high scores, so don’t chalk it up to “I’m too good for GWU” </p>
<p>Personally, I like their admissions strategy. They are admitting people that they feel would generally like to be part of the university. This stops acceptances from going to waste on non-enrollees and more importantly, keeps the snobby, Ivy-league rejects to a minimum…</p>
<p>It is what it is,</p>
