+1. I called and they said they would send out an admit packet with financial aid information at the end of January.

EDIT: Non-ED.

Seems most with my numbers have been rejected this cycle though. Don't think I'm going to try and ride this one out.

Same! Time to start putting together more to submit... Just when you think applications are done, you get to start applying for the scholarships!

^ haha, I was thinking the same thing

Same. I'm not sending anything other than an updated transcript and my offer from Fordham.

Would you guys mind posting your numbers?

Also got the email, but question: Does anyone know specifically which schools GW considers to be "peers"? I got half as much as Luxxe did from Fordham, so if I sent them that, how likely is it that they'd see my 45,000 from Fordham and be like "lol okayy...? Good for you?" And more importantly, if Fordham does NOT bode well for comparison, which schools do you all think would work instead?

Additionally, I know I can look this up myself, but I've spent so many hours today looking up Michigan stuff (>_>) that I figured I might as well ask just in case someone already knows the answer

Waitlisted last night with a 3.4, 167. Seems most with my numbers have been rejected this cycle though. Don't think I'm going to try and ride this one out.

i'm waitlisted with a 3.2/167
ah well

[msblaw89]

Got an e-mail late last night saying that I am being considered for a merit scholarship and that the committee will start meeting early February. The e-mail said the scholarships range from 5-25k per year for a max of 12-75k per year.... so is it true that the max you can receive is only 75k? I received 105k from a similarly ranked school

when did you both apply? i have no news with a 3.2/167. applied end of october. very strong softs/we. i did email them to expect my fall transcripts that will raise my gpa ~.09 so maybe they are waiting for that to decide?

I'm guessing you mean the $5-$25/year ($15-$75) which I took to mean over the 3 years? That surprised me too, I mean UCLA is offering 20k/year and I'm applying for vandy's full+5k stipend, it's surprising gw isn't planning on being more competitive. I would love gw for the area but if I am able to get more from a higher ranked school I'll have to think a bit more

Anyone hear anything regarding ED today? Their clock runs out this Sunday.... Last year they notified those accepted ED via email. Anyone know if it is going to be via email, phone, or snail mail this year?

I checked with them and was told all ED decision will be sent by next Tuesday. I feel I did not see any report being accepted into ED. Do you know anybody already accepted?
