George Washington 2015-2016 Applicants Forum

[khan]

Just got notification that my decision will be emailed within the next 3 days... hoping for good news.

Did you solicit that information or did you just get the email out of the blue? Also, when did you go UR?

No, it just showed up on the application status checker - I didn't ask. I went UR on 1/29. I thought to check, because I was WL by BC and BU this morning. So, I'm not anticipating good news. I'm 161/3.7.

same here. went UR on 1/29 and says decision made on status checker.

Does anyone know if there is a separate forum specifically for GW waitlisted applicants????
Thanks y'all!

[Doglover1994]

SAME GUYS! what a scary wait!!!

For those that saw "You'll get a decision within 3 days," where did you see that? My status checker just says Decision Made.

Anyone brave enough to check admitted students portal?

It worked!

checked when I first saw DM two hours ago and wasn't able to get in. last time admitted ones were able to get in around 6 pm EST. so guess we should wait a little bit more.

Just got the email - W/L

[proteinshake]

accepted via email with a 120K scholly offer. LSAT >75th, GPA between 50th and 75th. Congrats to all other admits!

[Purplepen]

Just got the email - W/L

Same I'm kind of surprised, but I'll probably withdraw.

[redfred22]

In with 75 percentile LSAT, 50<x<75 GPA

35k/yr for total of 105k for all three years

Damn living expenses are more than the tuition. Ugh.

[robertwabisabi]

I just got waitlisted.

[cj346]

In with $25/yr. LSAT > 50, GPA < 50. Hoping to leverage other acceptances for more money. Got the email yesterday afternoon

[zenofchaos]

Has anyone started/had any luck with negotiating scholarships yet?

Ha. I'm still waiting on any peep about a scholarship.

Same here. Got accepted 1/12 with no word about scholarships. I've been holding out hope that a later flurry of non-auto scholarships will be sent out. The Admitted Student Reception emails (for regions that are nowhere near me.....) have been torturous.

I feel the same way, for both things. My heart skips a beat every time, and the closest admitted students reception is four and a half hours away.

[run4fun]

GW Part timers did any of you guys receive merit aid? I'm in, but really starting to think about retaking the LSAT to increase my case for merit aid.

[rachellewrx]

Submited on 2/04. Went complete on 2/08. Admitted on 2/20 with $75k scholarship.

Good luck to all.

Has anyone already submitted the scholarship reconsideration form?

[Cloture]

Has anyone already submitted the scholarship reconsideration form?

*Edited because I found the reconsideration form in the admitted students portal.* I was at an admitted students event recently and one of the financial aid staff did mention they've already gotten 100 of the request forms and encouraged admitted students to submit early.

I've only got two other admits and they are from lower ranked schools in different regions. Any thoughts on whether I should go ahead and submit for reconsider before getting more relevant admits?
