George Washington University Fall 2020 Transfers

For those who were accepted and haven’t received finaid, was it because they needed you to confirm your SSN? They said my FAFSA was incomplete solely because I needed to confirm my SSN when no other school did that. I have to know about FA before June 1st otherwise I have to pay enrollment at BU. I wish they would’ve told me they just needed that small detail sooner! The wait is so stressful

congrats!

I got in! Had a great feeling they’d get them out faster, happy to be right. Congrats to all, good luck everyone.

does anyone who was accepted know if there is like a GW 2020 transfer Facebook group?

I would probably recommend to call them and explain your situation and try to get an estimate. Their financial / admissions dept. have been pretty great via phone/emails for me at least for the past month or two while I was awaiting acceptance…

@RBevan I’ve decided not to wait any longer for GW. The way they have handled everything throughout this process has really turned me off. The long wait, confirming receipt of documents then telling me they don’t have them, unanswered emails, etc. I hope you get your answer soon. Congratulations and good luck to all those who have decided to commit!

@NewDay20 I totally get that. They are definitely not the best. I’m sorry you had to rule it out and I hope you get to go somewhere you like! Thank you, I appreciate it. Good luck to you too!

I agree 100%. I emailed about financial aid weeks ago and got no response. I had to put a deposit down for UVA because GW took ages to release decisions. GW was my number one because I’m a pol sci major but it’s becoming harder to turn down UVA in-state tuition while GW outrights ignores me.

Whats up guys,
I just created a Facebook group “GW Transfers Fall 2020.” Make sure to check out!! Hope to meet some of you guys on there.

has anyone heard anything today?

@ablessinggg I haven’t yet

the waiting is killing me!

GW is still saying they haven’t received my FAFSA when FAFSA says it was received in January. Does anyone know what I should do? I need my FA by Monday

I had the same issue. When I emailed them they said they I needed to confirm my SSN and sent this link go.gwu.edu/ssn i added my SSN about two weeks ago and my FAFSA was updated today. They can’t link you FAFSA to your application without the SSN.

@izrose Hey make sure on FAFSA that it was sent to the right school. If it was then download your SAR and email GW financial aid and CC GW docs. GW financial and GW docs are different one you submit documents to while the other is for assistance.

Has anyone else been accepted but not received an aid offer yet? I’m not sure if they send an email or update their site or what…

I’m gonna assume we’re not hearing anything today :frowning:

Sorry to tell you this but based on the last two years threads, the second wave will come out 2-3 weeks after the first one… so i recommend you to forget about GW for a moment.

Oh no ? I have to commit to my second choice by June 1st. Maybe I will email them and ask if a second wave will be coming before Monday…

I think juniors are required to live on campus which sucks bc it’s so expensive
