Is this some personal thing like "I got into 10 out of the 10 schools I applied to?" No offense, just curious...
This is a fair question, especially since I've seen others on TLS who seem to enjoy racking up acceptances just for the hell of it. But, in all seriousness, I really would consider attending GW for a few reasons.
First, my SO lives in DC.
Second, I am debt averse, and would consider any school that offers me close to a full ride. As you point out, I might get substantial scholarship money from some T14 schools, but that hasn't happened yet.
Third, I think that GW is an awesome school that is underrated by the USNWR rankings. My primary interests in law are IP and criminal, areas in which GW has some of the best professors in the country.
In the end, I will probably end up attending Columbia, Berkeley, or some other T10 school. But it's not a done deal at this point. I am interested in my status at GW for reasons that extend beyond mere personal curiosity.
