People already off the waitlist? I thought that didn't begin until beginning of April.

FYI for those of you waiting on money, I was admitted in mid-January and didn't hear anything about merit money, so I wrote in on February 13th to see what the deal was. Turns out they had sent me an email about my 20k a year scholarship at the end of January, and Gmail had sent it to my spam folder. Might be worth a look (or not)!

Which email address did it come from?

Does anyone know if GW offers travel stipends for admitted students? Flights from SF to DC aren't nice on the wallet.

To answer my own question, GW sent this to me in an email:

For admitted students who are traveling to attend the Preview Day (March 22) or Preview Evening (April 4th), a reimbursement for travel expenses of up to $150.00 will be provided upon matriculation. (When booking travel, please save all receipts reflecting payment.) "

May 1st . check under Fees

That's a link to the summer program at Oxford, so unless that's what you were talking about, ignore that link.

I don't see anything online about when you actually have to register for classes and whatnot, but the first seat deposit of $500 is due 4/15, and the second seat deposit of $1,000 is due 5/31. I got the info from the admitted students' website. It also says that submission of your seat deposit means you are acknowledging this statement:

I understand that my acceptance to The George Washington University Law School is issued with the recognition that any course work I have in progress will be completed satisfactorily, with no significant changes in my grades. In addition, I understand that my non-refundable deposit(s) will be applied to tuition incurred in my first semester of attendance, and that if, for any reason, I withdraw prior to or after the point of matriculation at GW Law, my deposit(s) will be forfeited.

woops ignore!

I'm going too I think. Mainly because I can't pass up an opportunity to visit the California Club.

does anyone know anything about deferring for a year? I've been thinking about it recently and thinking that it may actually be what I do

does anyone know anything about deferring for a year? I've been thinking about it recently and thinking that it may actually be what I do

This is from GW Law website: "We consider requests for deferral on a case-by-case basis. We will consider your reasons for seeking a deferral and let you know our decision within one or two weeks of receipt of your request. We generally grant one-year deferrals, although we will grant two-year deferrals in some special cases (e.g., individuals who are called to military duty or who choose to participate in Teach for America or the Peace Corps)."

Basically, you need to have a pretty good reason to do it. Otherwise they could refuse your request and withdraw your offer of admission if you don't agree to matriculate this year.
