George Washington c/o 2018 Applicants (2014-2015 Cycle) Forum

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.

Hey folks, GW's personal statement is 2 pages, double spaced. I can achieve that without re-writing if I use 10 font. There is no guidance for font, but I am not sure 10 is big enough. Any advice on this?

Oh, yeah just in case anyone asks. I am applying ED. I have already applied to my range of schools, so I would not be breaking GW's rules and this school would be my best shot at good employment if I do get accepted ED. If not, no harm-no foul. It's a calculated shot in the dark.

10 is probably a little small. and GW's ED comes with a full ride (like NU) - it's for people with at least above median numbers, and mostly above 75th percentile numbers.

I know, thanks Xylo for the advice on size. Being rejected is only going to cost me the report fee. I have no interest in EDing anywhere else. Hope you get a great scholy package from them.

Does anyone know if they reject straight from early decision or do they automatically defer to regular decision? I applied ED and my status checker says decision made. Can anyone tell me what that means?

Same here. Also, I'm not sure why it takes up to 10 days to send an email.

It takes them 8-12 weeks to reach a decision and send it to you after the file goes complete. This is according to the status tracker.

Right, I guess what I was asking was are they currently still within that 12 week time frame? They have decision made, I am going to assume (bad thing) that since it wasn't instantaneously put on their tracker that they will be mailed the decision?

I am at a complete loss as to how your original comment had anything to do with what was quoted. what does the 8-12 weeks have to do with anything now that the decision is made?

anyway, all decisions are emailed, and the status checker doesn't update to say anything except for "decision made"

dinged via email today. Was kinda expecting wait list but not a straight ding.

The tracker said that time frame included telling the applicants the results after a decision was made, but sure it has nothing to do with crossing over from ED rejection to their normal admissions list.


Sorry to hear that Raider, especially if it was within your reach. Good luck in your other applications.

Also dinged via email. Not very surprised, but also not worried because I got into my #1. Good luck everyone!!

[franny90]

In via email. Somewhat surprised I heard back so soon considering I'm a reverse splitter. Figured it would be awhile.
