This is one of many reasons that I'm most likely going to choose AU over GMU if I dont get into GW.

But, to get back on topic so we dont derail the thread, I really really hope I get into GW. I would much rather live in the foggy bottom area. Hell, living in NoVa and commuting wouldnt be that bad.

Funny how people tend to have such strong feelings about GMU and AU. I've already withdrawn from AU as I don't like anything I've heard about it. Worst comes to worse, I will go to GMU. Just keeping my fingers crossed for GW. Please GW please just let me in.

Can you be rejected via the ED to GW but be "accepted" simultaneously? Reason being, I applied ED to GW knowing my numbers wouldn't qualify for the scholarship award. Would I just get pushed to a later decision batch or could they also possibly accept me at the same time? Thanks for the help.

They accepted me at the same time last week.

Does anyone know if they sent out all the admissions for early decision? If so, those still waiting (myself included) are not in for ED for sure, right? If that's the case, can I put my ED elsewhere?

I definitely wouldn't chance it until you get an official email or notice that says you're released from the contract... Better safe than sorry!

I'm not aware of any evidence that they've sent out any admissions for ED yet, much less all of them. Last year they sent them out on the 22nd, but not this year apparently.

today? I thought they were closed. Well, now I'm going to be hitting refresh compulsively.

Did they defer you to regular decision?

ran12 · Post by **ran12** » Tue Dec 28, 2010 2:40 pm

Got deferred to RD too. Email said several weeks until decision so hopefully sometime in Jan.

What are your numbers like?

Really surprised they didn't admit you RD at the same time. :/ My bf got deferred from ED, but was admitted RD the same day (12/22)

..aannd the day gets worse lol

Bela · Post by **Bela** » Tue Dec 28, 2010 3:39 pm

Sorry

I still think you have a great shot at RD, so I wouldn't worry. My bf's LSAT was the same, but his GPA is pretty high (3.9) so that's probably why he got the auto-admit.

If it makes you feel better, I haven't heard anything yet...

toptwin · Post by **toptwin** » Tue Dec 28, 2010 3:42 pm

I mean I can't complain, I know it's my GPA that is holding me back from a lot of these schools. Gotta make the best of it. What are your stats? and ED?

Bela · Post by **Bela** » Tue Dec 28, 2010 3:54 pm

Yeah, ED. 169, 3.75 and what I think are good softs. Still a hell of a long shot though

Thanks! I think it's the silence that's bothering me. Oh well, I'll know by Jan 15th!

Just got the email bump to RD. Good luck all.

MTKennedy · Post by **MTKennedy** » Tue Dec 28, 2010 7:32 pm

I knew I was an auto-reject but had a fee waiver, just received the rejection email for part-time regular decision. Submitted on 11-9.

IsleMet · Post by **IsleMet** » Tue Dec 28, 2010 7:44 pm

Rejected via email 5:30pm

166/3.6/2 years Teach for America/Masters Degree...In fulltime at Fordham so far.

I thought I would have had a better result (a deferral or at least a waitlist). Disappointing.
