<p>carsh: I can sympathize with you completely. GW is my D’s dream school, but the funding will probably not work out. Their FA office is abysmal and unprofessional, which only compounds the matter, and makes me suspicious that the whole school experience will be a struggle at every turn. We will appeal the FA offer but I doubt that it will be seriously considered. It is surprising that such a supposedly highly ranked school operates this way.</p>
