<p>I was checking something out on finaid and came across this little snippet of information
</p>
<p>Anyone heard anthing about this? I wonder what affect it would have if this was changed - hopefully the 5.6% would apply to all assets including students.</p>
<p>Hi Swim. A client of mine recently mentioned it to me a while ago. Haven’t seen anything recently on it. A quick question if I could. My S is interested in apply to GW for (Intl.) business in the fall. He has decent stats, 4.5(w), 1450 / 2230, 15 of 575, editor of paper, capt. varsity tennis…etc… I read recently that GW was cutting back on kids from states like NJ ( ours ), Pa., in favor of other states. If so, going ED would make the most sense ( if RD looks close ). If we went ED, would that essentially dissuade GW from offering up ANY merit $$ schol ? I know we won’t qualify for any finan. need based aid… Thanks. Best to you. Marc</p>
<p>I think you may have me mixed up with someone else. I don’t know anything about GW and all I know about applying ED is that people say not to do so if you need financial aid (my kids are going to State Us). Sorry I can’t help. Perhaps you should repost the question on a seperate thread people who know more about GW can help you out. Good luck.</p>
<p>Somehow, I doubt that Congress would set up a situation for people to pay less. If there is a uniform treatment, I’d be willing to wager that student assets will go down and parental assets will go up, and it will probably end up having people who now would qualify to no longer do so.</p>
<p>Chedva I hope you are wrong - but the cynical realist in me thinks you are probably right. I just have the current rules figured out (at least I think I do but often I find out I don’t) - I’d as soon they just leave well enough alone so I don’t have to relearn it all - that’s not going to happen either. Thank goodness for CC and finaid.org!</p>
