<p>No I havent but I might going to do this right now !!</p>
<p>I just called and the lady said that she has no idea, I am going to call back again, I am tired of this …</p>
<p>So . The WAIT is over! I was informed via a method other then snail mail that I was accepted into the Elliot School of International Relations with a concentration in Middle Eastern Studies. I found out through purely unconventional means and unfortunately I cant give anyone the information on how I found out and from whom until everyone has found out. Im sure you all can understand. However, I would like to note that there is NO method to the madness. There is no logic behind when and who will find out whether they were accepted or not. So, I would recommend just sitting it out and wait.</p>
<p>My stats.</p>
<p>Im a full time student with a 4.0 G.P.A. (Presidents List) for the second time in a row at a private university in D.C. I have combined 60+ credits from all the schooling Ive done up until now including what I did in the military as well as my SMART. (Military folks will know what Im talking about.) Cumulative G.P.A. from everything combined is (~3.7). I had a strong professor recommendation and a recommendation from an American Ambassador. I thought my essay was key in all this. According to opinions from other people, I had a great essay. If you youd like to view my essay, I can post this on here. Perhaps it would help for any future transfers for the future. I live in Bethesda, MD. Im using my Chapter 33 benefits to fund my education. I was an average student in high school and didnt take the SATS or ACTS. Im a self professed beginner in three languages.
I think that about covers it. Let me know if anyone needs help or has any questions. Good luck!</p>
<p>Okay everyone…I almost feel guilty about this but…</p>
<p>I GOT ACCEPTED! I just haven’t received the packet yet…</p>
<p>I called admissions at about 4:45 EST. The man who answered the phone actually offered-I didn’t have to ask- to check on whether my decision was sent yet. He came back telling me a decision had been made and the letter would be sent this week and likely arrive next week. I told him that I have reserve duty starting saturday, and asked if he would be able to connect me with someone who could tell me my decision over the phone. He put me on hold, went and asked, and connected me with an admissions officer who said they were pleased to offer me admission!! He said they are staggering due dates for deposits and declarations of intent based on when your decision goes out, so thats one less worry for us folks waiting on the packet.</p>
<p>Good luck everyone!! I’ll still let you know when I get the letter and hang out on the thread :)</p>
<p>Congrats both of you!!! :)</p>
<p>i still haven’t *<strong><em>ing heard, what the *</em></strong>? I mean seriously this **** is getting old</p>
<p>^— that is why I feel a tad guilty about knowing… hell I am still PO’d cause I basically got lucky that my reserve duty was reason enough for them to notify me. Otherwise, they would definitely have not told me over the phone.</p>
<p>But, I thought you guys should at least know that it there is a chance your decision has actually been made and is just waiting for postage! Thats at least a little exciting…I know I want my damn packet time now!</p>
<p>I wonder what the real problem is,I have not heard of any other college to wait this long. Its annoying and causing so much unnecessary stress…</p>
<p>oh no kitnkat03 no reason to feel guilty at all! Congrats! you give me hope! It is just there was nothing in the mail yet again and man does this take a toll.</p>
<p>WOW CONGRATS KITNKAT AND SHAUN VERY AWESOME I HOPE I SEE YOU GUYS THERE… I still didn’t receive anything and I am hoping that It will soon come. I do feel more hopeful knowing that you guys found out and that decisions might actually be made and they are just waiting for postage…</p>
<p>congratulations!</p>
<p>Congratulations to everyone that was accepted!
Good luck to those waiting.</p>
<p>has anyone that has been accepted received their financial aid information?</p>
<p>Nickeatworld - have you checked GWeb? <a href=“https://banweb.gwu.edu/PRODCartridge/twbkwbis.P_WWWLogin[/url]”>https://banweb.gwu.edu/PRODCartridge/twbkwbis.P_WWWLogin</a> There is a section for FA that displays what documents you may be missing. If you aren’t missing any documents, it *should *have an award letter there. I don’t know because I am still missing tax documents… </p>
<p>FA office is pretty decent at answering questions and whatnot. Could email them or call with questions.</p>
<p>For those military folks still waiting and anxious that YRP slots will not be available - there is still lots of hope! I just submitted my form for this year and here was the almost immediate response:</p>
<p>Thanks for your message. Congratulations on your admission to GW. I am confirming receipt of the request and that the request will be accepted because there are still available slots on the campus for which you will be taking courses…</p>
<p>FYI - I’m attending the Foggy Bottom campus… duh ;)</p>
<p>I called. They told me I wouldn’t be notified of my financial aid for another couple of weeks. Apparently, after all the tax forms are in, it’ll take about two weeks from the completion of your “package” as they called it.
I’m stressing out. Orientation for the state school I’m attending is fast approaching and I need to put a deposit down on an apartment if I don’t want to be commuting from a tent next fall. </p>
<p>Bah. I guess I’ll just wait. I have a horrible feeling I’m going to be notified WAY too late. The guy I talked to said that we could be notified as late as the last week in June. Humbug.</p>
<p>Ok…I called an hour ago and I told them my story and an admission officer told me that they were please to offer me ADMISSION…:)o i am half happy since I havent seen that letter yet…
@ Kintkat I am still not able to access Gweb , do you think its because I didnt apply for financial aid ? Or maybe I should double check and call them again tomorow to make sure I did get accepted!! …they wouldnt make that type of mistake right ??</p>
<p>Congrats to those who got accepted , and good luck to those waiting !!</p>
<p>I called admissions today and said that I couldn’t wait because I had deadlines for other schools I applied to approaching. and they told me that I HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED to the columbian college of arts and sciences.
I legit cried. I think I said something like “this is life changing thank you”
hahahaha
whoooo weeeeeeee</p>
<p>Good Luck to everyone else!!</p>
<p>Congrats spotter !! Did they told you when you will be receiving the letter ??</p>
<p>OH MY GOODNESS I’M SO HAPPY FOR EVERYONE!!!</p>
<p>rcwhite I know you have some reason you can give for needing to know via telephone too! Do you have other schools to give notice to like spotter? Its worth a call if you do!</p>
<p>Congrats Spotter and Salahbb!!</p>
<p>@Salahbb - they said that unless you applied for FA you wouldn’t have access to GWeb until you accepted their offer of admission - ie paid your deposit and sent your declaration of intent - so no worries :)</p>
<p>When and where is the partay everyone?</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone who is waiting - we hope to see *everyone *there!</p>
<p>GW got my school and home address mixed up so they actually sent it to my school.
They said I should receive it either saturday or next week.</p>
