Q: How many Early Decision applicants were admitted to GW for fall 2014? A: We received a total of 1,107 Early Decision applications and admitted 712 students, which is an admissions rate of 64 percent. Comparatively, last year GW received 2,157 ED applications and admitted 960 studentsâa 45 percent admissions rate. We were expecting to see a drop in applications from 2013 to 2014, given the changes to both the GW application process and the Common Application system.
