<p>I really don’t think it’s true. I just got in with a 4.3 and a 2280, I didn’t apply to the honors program, and I listed that I applied to Georgetown and Tufts on my app (international relations).</p>
<p>The difference might have been that I put a lot of thought into my Why GW essay and talked about the school itself, and not just DC, as others may have done. </p>
<p>I’m very happy, as GW is my top choice. My condolences to anyone who didn’t get in who was actually interested, but don’t immediately dismiss it as a case of Tufts Syndrome.</p>
