Would GW match a WUSTL full ride?

+1. Have Fordham, Vandy, WUSTL, BU & Cornell with some money. GWU offered me 1/3.

On the admitted students portal, where you submit the scholarship negotiation form, it says that GW doesn't offer any full rides for students who were not accepted under the binding Presidential Scholars program.

Damn thanks! GW is one of my top choices and I want to be in DC for personal reasons, but can't justify paying 100,000 more

No worries! Yeah I was pretty bummed to read that too.

Lol Wut. I got WLd with a 170 LSAT

lol same Lsat 171. in at 2 other top 20 schools... so

What's your GPA? Im kind of in shock right now

Maybe it's YP?

I'm not sure what else it could be unless they found something in my application that they absolutely hated. LSN has people with similar stats as I do going 37 for 37 at GW

Idk, if you consider various other high ranking acceptances between the two of you..could it be anything else but YP? What in both of your apps could GW specifically hate so much

I mean, I could see a scenario in which I'm rejected even with good numbers because of lack of work experience and other softs, but I can't imagine all 37 people that were accepted before me had amazing softs lol

[RParadela]

Someone on LSN got waitlisted with a 173 and a 3.55

Okay GW, Okay.

I'm a splitter , GPA 3.28 a smidge under their 25th. strong softs too so I think they're just not friendly with splitters this year particularly since their was no addendum

[Dodocogon]

With GWU being my highest $$ offer so far (other than the two sub-50 full rides I have), I'm gonna have to sweet talk my way to areconsideration. I'll probably write about total COA and all that - like my W&M offer is $20k less but my COA there would end up somewhere around $50k less. I guess it makes sense, GW does have a really high tuition compared to most school around it... not to mention the DC COL itself

[RParadela]

For those of you who got WL'd with good stats.. What are you guys gonna do? There's 0 shot I attend GW at sticker, much less waiting out the WL until April.

[shotgunheist]

Just got dinged GPA 50 25<lsat<50

[Mint-Berry_Crunch]

Has anyone been accepted this wave

[CatherineZetaScarn1]

Got dinged....I really need some clarification bc I got waitlisted last year and I applied later and had less experience...

[floatie]

Just got in with $90k!

GPA < 25, LSAT > 75

[Mint-Berry_Crunch]

In with 75k

GPA=25 lsat>75

[honestlywhatever]

So I just found out I'm in, but there was no scholarship info in the e-mail. Does this mean I'm not getting anything from them at all, or has anyone gotten the admit e-mail and then received scholarship info later on?

[KDavis95]

In with 48k. Not really impressed with the scholly since I got better offers from higher ranked schools, but hey, my numbers suck.

If anyone cares:
LSAT<25%
GPA>75%
URM

I'll just wait it out, but not feeling GW at anything approaching sticker.

[the_specialist]

Just got the acceptance email. In with 60k. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. With the cost of living in DC, it would be tough.

Median LSAT
GPA>75%

[PurplePaladin]

In with 75k last night. LSAT = 50, GPA = 25-50

Guys, any clue about travel stipends for ASW? Can't see any information on the portal

[jessmeesh]

Guys, any clue about travel stipends for ASW? Can't see any information on the portal

At the bottom of the "preview events" page:

"A reimbursement of up to $250 for travel expenses (airfare, train tickets, bus fare, car mileage) incurred to attend either Preview Day or Mini-Preview will be available upon matriculation in August. Please hold on to your receipts, which may be turned into Law School Fiscal Services between Orientation and September 15, 2017."

Hey, thanks. Actually I did see that after my previous post. Weird that, unlike other schools, they reimburse only subject to matriculation. !

I think most people get scholarship information in the email. It's always worth asking later on if you can get some $$, especially with COL in DC.

TBH probably the former, since everyone on TLS has reported receiving any scholarship info with the acceptance letter. You could always negotiate with another offer though.
