I apologize if the information can easily be found on the web, but I have looked at GW's website and cannot find much about the scholarship. So could you guys answer some quick questions since the dealine is so close?

Is this is a full tuition scholarship? Are there GPA requirments? I think these answers are yes and no, but i am not positive.
Is housing included in this scholarship?Is it only first year or something?
What type of numbers do you need to get this scholarship?

If anything else is important that I missed, please say so. Thank you for your help.

Full tuition scholarship, but housing is not included.

Numbers need to be good for GW, check out some of the admits on LSN from years past. I was told they give between 25-35 of these each year out of an ED pool of 900.

I think the GPA average is 3.8ish and LSAT average is 168ish for those accepted. I remember reading that somewhere.

it seems that GW much rather give semi splitters 3.5's 169's-170+ the full ride instead of the 3.8/ 168's. I am basing this strictly off LSN though and I understand that is a self selecting sample.

Well the median is still just that. They probably give plenty to 3.5 169-170s and plenty to 3.9 166-167's and the numbers end up meeting in the middle.

You mean for ED? I thought it'd be about that for RD.
