Is anyone else having issues with the status checker? I set up my password on Monday, and when I tried to check in again yesterday and today it wasn't working. Scoured their website for the status checker link (I've had this issue with Vandy too) but couldn't find it. I know a decision hasn't been made, I was just curious if app is complete.

It took me like 3 days to find the link. It is somewhere under "apply for JD program" or something along those lines. You really have to look for it. The link they sent me in the email doesn't work.

Thanks! They really do hide that sucker. I poked around the website for like 15 minutes and couldn't find anything.

I know this has been asked, but not much of a response... There seems to be no way to fit a separate "WHY GW" essay into the application. Should I assume they do not want one, or is there something I'm missing?

[cuboxing25]

checking in! Just have to finish my last touches this weekend and I'll be complete.

The one in the email doesn't work if you click it because (at least in my email) it is split over 2 lines. If you copy and paste the whole thing into a new browser tab it works!

How does the status checker work for GWU? I got a second complete date today and am just curious what all their statuses mean.

I don't think they mean anything particular (at least it doesn't appear that way from what I recall reading in the Expecting thread). I was complete on 10/13 and got a second date change on 10/27. Sometime in between I got a postcard in the mail encouraging ED... which is how I had applied already... So I think it's just their system updating itself.

Received the admit package today, it's pretty serious.

Received the admit package today, it's pretty serious.

Sending it in a box instead of an envelope = they mean business.

In via email this afternoon! Any word on whether they send scholarship info in the mailed package or do they wait to tell about that until the end of the cycle (please no)?

no idea when scholarship info comes - it wasn't in the package, at least for me. I'll look at last year's thread tonight if no one else has by that time.

Those who are getting decisions... Do you get both the email and the package or are some of you only getting one or the other? Can anyone offer info on your timeline and whether you were ED or RD?

Thank you!

I applied R.D.

I got the email today, no package yet, but the email said a mailed package would be coming soon.

There was no scholarship information in the package I received a few weeks ago that I can recall. I inquired about scholarship information with the GWU rep at the Atlanta LSAC forum, and she told me that they'll most likely start scholarship deliberations right after Thanksgiving. I imagine that's when we'll start hearing things.

Congrats to all of you who have been accepted so far! I'm wrapping up the app and hoping to send this week.

Did any of you successfully solicit a fee waiver? I didn't receive one via email, so I solicited one but am waiting to hear back. I'm slightly below the GPA and LSAT medians, so I'm unsure how likely it is, but figured there's no harm in asking.

I solicited a while back and got one. Definitely no harm in asking.

I got my package about 1 week after I got my email acceptance!

I applied ED to the part time program - Complete 10/13 with another date update 10/27. Still haven't heard anything I'm well above GPA median but only slightly above LSAT median. I'm not really expecting to get in ED, but it would be nice to have some more movement, especially since on LSN it looks lime similar applicants are getting decisions. Ahh, well. Waiting is tricky!

[hirsch40p]

Does anyone know if they wait to respond to ED until the deadline on Jan 30 or do they give responses earlier?

[Dr. Nefario]

Has anyone seen recent movement?

Nothing after my initial date change...

Whats in the package? lol. So far only email acceptances followed by envelope

I got my mailed package on Saturday. They definitely win for fanciest admit package-- it's hard to describe but it's this hard cover book thing that you open and it has a ribbon you pull to get your letter and the informational booklet out.
