In a similar situation. GW is my first choice by a hefty margin, but I simply cannot pay for it with this policy, even with their ‘maximum’ (80%) grant-aid. I was expecting to be able to cover the 20% gap with a few scholarships I received + financial aid, but with this policy that seems impossible, as it will merely cause a reduction in my grant aid and nullifying the scholarships I received. The OP is right; this does disproportionately hurt low-income students, and I hope this policy is re-looked at for the future.

I love GW. I do not love this policy. Not sure what I am going to do now, as I was considering committing, but now have serious doubts.
