GW Makes National Rankings
GW recently ranked 51st among the top 123 colleges and universities listed
by number in the latest “America’s Best Colleges” issue
of US News & World Report, a guide for college-bound students.
In all, 248 national universities responded to the magazine’s annual
survey.
Among the gains for GW in the latest survey — which compared 2002–03
data with that of the previous academic year — were an increase in
the average SAT scores from 1150–1330 to 1170–1360 for incoming
freshmen. GW also became
more selective in the percentage of applicants it accepts; from 49 percent
to 40 percent.
GW also recently made the top 10 in three categories of the 2003 edition
of the Princeton Review’s “Best 351 College Rankings.”
GW is among the top three of “Most Politically Active” universities
in America, placing ahead of schools such as Georgetown and University
of California-Berkeley.
GW’s other rankings included a No. 10 for Social/Great College Towns,
and a No. 10 for Quality of Life/Dorms Like Palaces.
