I submitted mine on the 13th and didn't get an email either.

If people start getting contacted on the 22nd, we'll all be hearing back really soon! I don't think there's a chance for me (considering all you 170+ LSAT folks out there!), but it would be so great to go to law school with a free ride.

I think you definitely have a chance. If you look at last year (http://gw.lawschoolnumbers.com/applican ... =3&type=jd) there were two people with 168/3.9x stats. Given your excellent GPA, you have a chance.

BUT, it is important to remember that they only hand out about 30 of these full scholarships each year. A full ride at GW is VERY competitive. I'm going with the assumption that I won't get it (probably safe) so that if I do, I will be VERY pleasantly surprised.

Ah, this make me so hopeful!!! Crossing my fingers for an email/phone call sometime soon.

Just remember everyone to post ASAP as soon as you get your ED call/email....I don't know about you people but the waiting is killing me over here.

I ED'd too but I expect to get rolled over to regular decision.

Last year and the year before all ED admits got calls/emails on December 22nd.

I was working off of this information

[kwhiteside]

Last year is no guarantee for this year but the GW 2010 ED thread had people posting on the 22nd about getting emails.

Page 6 I think. http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/v ... &start=125

From what I've read on TLS, the ED deferrals, January RD admits are notified via snail mail. I've stalked this process way too much.

[JTMan]

Your process stalking is greatly appreciated. I guess tomorrow it is

Seriously hope it's tomorrow. The wait is killing me!

So if we do not hear on the 22nd, are we all moved to RD decisions? or will some be denied as well?

I don't think there's any reason to assume that if we don't hear on the 22nd we didn't get in ED.... They could just be on a different schedule this year, and might not have decisions ready until later this week or even January. Who knows.

From last year's applicants I heard that some were accepted RD right away, and others got rolled over and had to wait longer for a decision. It seems pretty up in the air.

[JTMan]

exactly.....that's why if you do hear back tomorrow....post post post! haha

[Bela]

Still hoping today's the day!

Before I get the ED decision, can I still withdraw my application?

They might let you, but after signing the contract you're committed...so if you're borderline, I'm sure they won't mind releasing you.

I don't know, but you the answer is probably just a phone call away.

3.98/165, Is this considered as borderline?

By not going to happen, do you mean I will not be released or I will not be admitted by ED?

I'm guessing he meant not admitted. ED at GW is very selective because it is a full-ride scholarship. They seem to use it as an opportunity to drive their medians up.

You can, just call or e-mail.

linda,
you will not be admitted ED, with a minor chance of a small scholarship RD. check LSN for last year. There are some better chances for you ED like UVA if you wanted to try again next year.

Oh, thank God!
I heard from someone last year, they only admitted 8 out of 900 ED applicants. I guess I won't have a good chance against the odds.

closer to 30
