[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is more competitive than GW. This has been discussed on these boards previously.

GW - 40%+ acceptance rate
American - 36% acceptance rate[/quote]

I noticed this. Also the cost of attending American seems to be astronomical. It seems to be a complicated place I'd love to hear from actual grads what they make of it all.[/quote]

acceptance rates mean nothing. All it says is that the school devoted more marketing resources to generate more applications. Lots of privates hire departments who do nothing but market the school in order to get your kid to apply in order to turn them down in order to drop the selectivity percentage. For example, see U of Chicago and Northeastern. This will be specially true this year but there has been an abnormal increase in no. of Hail Mary applications at the elite schools because some students thought “test optional “ was their Golden ticket. (so far that has not turned out to be true SCEA,REA, ED and EA.[/quote]
