I apllied to Elliot and got both UH and Presidential Scholar. GW accepts only 130 UH applicants out of a pool of 1200 but gives out many more Presidential Scholarships as shown by the number of people recieving half tuition on CC. If you were accepted into UH but no merit-aid I would contact GW. Even though they go hand-in-hand, it seems weird that people who did not get into UH got merit and you did no. If you got merit but did not get UH the appeal would be much harder as there are not many UH spots open to start with.
