Jeeeez, GW's admission stats are getting destroyed because of test optional
From their CDS, it seems like their yield is dropping fast. The acceptance rate was 42% in 2018-19 (and is now 49.7%), this is largely because yield dropped from 25.5% to 18.9% in that same time.

Only 47% of kids who apply do so with test scores, so despite this increased acceptance rate, the mid-50th percentile scores have gone from an ACT composite of 29-32 in 18'-'19, to 30-34 this past cycle.

IMO, they should also make the application free, and advertise their generous merit more. Easy way to draw more applicants. I can’t imagine the revenue they’re getting from application fees is worth a worse academic profile, which can pay dividends if improved (more donations post-grad, improved reputation, potentially more research grants, etc)

earnest ermine
Is GWU need-blind
need aware but i got in being pretty low incom
worn pagoda
Their yield hasn’t been that good
Idk why
It’s been getting a bit worse every year, despite their standardized test scores increasing
Seems their yield is dropping fast. The acceptance rate was 42% in 2018-19 (and is now 49.7%), this is largely because admitted students who chose to attend dropped from 25.5% to 18.9% in that same time.
ripe cloak
Bro looking at my schools chart does not make it look like 50%
worn pagoda
It’s more kids applying TO
Because only 47% of kids who apply do so with test scores, despite this increased acceptance rate, the 25-75th percentile scores have gone from an ACT composite of 29-32 in 18'-'19, to 30-34 this past cycle.
