Just to throw my two cents in, I was admitted EDI and was extremely disappointed with my estimated financial aid from them. My family is typical middle class, and we by no means have the $200,000 to pay for GW (minus the $4,000, yes only $4,000 that they’re giving us).

I hear people talk about how great GW is with financial aid, but honestly, every other person who I’ve talked to from my school who was also accepted had the same reaction. I know that it might be worth it in the end, but don’t get your hopes up about the finances unless you have a 1550 and can get a merit award.

To be fair, GW’s financial aid office has been somewhat helpful, and has scheduled a meeting with my parents in DC in early april to discuss the appeal.

Anyway, that’s just my experience, others may be happier with their package.
