Word, what was your GPA if you dont mind?
GPA is 3.9 (from an Ivy)
No, TLS says I am not URM and everyone goes by what TLS says

What minority are you?

Oh well that 3.9 explains it. I had a quick glimmer of hope for a second. Congrats though!!

Send LOCI - I'm sure you'll be admitted.

Really? That gives me some hope...

Are a lot of people taken off the wait-list?

Verity · Post by **Verity** » Wed Feb 02, 2011 12:15 am

Not a lot, but I just withdrew my acceptance, so you're welcome.

What is not a lot? 5? 10? 20? I've been trying to get a sense of that. I imagine it's more than t14 schools...

Was the scholly $s included in the admit packet? Very excited for the mail tomorrow!

Also, you are definitely going to get in somewhere great out of that list you have

Waitlisted (email just now, 167/3.0). Submitted app 12/3. So far LS Predictor is dead on for my cycle.

So they claim in the email. I live here in DC, so Im hoping I get mine today or tomorrow. I am really nervous because without some sort of aid I dont think I'll be able to attend GW. That $46K tuition price is too rich for my blood

Yeah, doesn't matter what TLS says, GW is considering you a URM. There have actually been a few people I've seen on here or on lsn who fall into the "other Hispanic" category and have received boosts... really depends on the school I bet. Anyway, congrats!

If I didn't see any mention of scholarship in the admission package (only general info about financial aid), does that mean I will not get any $?

general consensus is yes. Welcome to the club.

Is anyone considering paying sticker for GW? Apparently TLSers think its a monumentally bad idea. Thoughts?

GW, How could I love you when you kissed me but didn't throw any bone to me?

Well as someone that is particularly interested in Public Interest work, going $200k in debt is not in my best interest. I love DC and would love to spend 3 years there, but I don't want to be indebted for the next 20 years of my life.

I don't think I'm going to have a choice due to my low LSAT...but I'm probably going to Fordham. I'm going to try to leverage my UMN scholly $ with GW and Fordham.

if I don't get into Georgetown or Northwestern (or get a huge scholly from BU or WUSTL) I'll be paying sticker at GWU

I have a lot of savings, though, so I won't be taking anywhere near the full amount in loans

Ugh, I wish that were the case over my way. I have been on a scholarship frenzy applying for any money every Tom Dick and Harry is planning on giving away. I have half a mind to fake a terminal illness and collect donations.

But in all seriousness, I think I might start a collection or start selling baked goods or something.

I just want to go up to Bill Gates or Warren Buffett and ask for $200k. That's chump change to them. A negligible percentage of their wealth.

+1...they wouldn't even notice 200k missing

LMAO, I know right?

I'm about to start an online collection to raise the money, shamelessly begging friends, family, and strangers for money. I need to make GW happen. $200K+ is way too much for me, especially given my undergraduate debt. I feel the school is the best Im going to get so I have to make a way!

I plan on it! I am going the 10 year IBR plan route for PI/government, however.
