<p>how did u find out?</p>
<p>Did you receive acceptance mail from GW or check the website? How did you find out?</p>
<p>so the rest of us will find out this week!</p>
<p>I called them today and they said that this week and next week is when the majority of the notifications will go out. So we'll see... good luck</p>
<p>i got accepted!</p>
<p>Lolita and rpeezy congrats!
How did you find out did you call or get it in the mail? Please do you think you could post your stats so the rest of us waiting can get an idea of what our chances are.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>i was emailed by a head of admissions saying i had been admitted.</p>
<p>my stats are as follows:
i am currently attending the flagship university for the state i am in.
major: political science, philosophy and economics (at the school i am at, at GWU its going to be political science and philosophy OR economics, just a double major)
ACT: 29 (i got 33+ in everything except maths, really low score, which brought my composite down)
GPA: 3.8
can speak fluent gujarati, extremely fluent English (i was raised in England, i have a British accent), conversational Hindi and elementary swahili (lol my dad was raised in uganda)
ALso i had taken all hard classes. My latest classes are all pretty much upper level classes, many of them can count for graduate credit if you do an extra 2,000 word essay or something. also i worked through the summer in my first year at college and stacked up enough credits if they accept all of them i will accepted as a junior, when in fact i am in the middle of my sophomore year but have a lot of credits to my name.
my essay for gwu was excellent i think.</p>
<p>ECs:
i had lots of them. i volunteerd with help the aged in London, England
did an internship at Time Out Magazine in London, England
worked for a campus magazine in Gallup, New Mexico (was begged to be editor but i transferred to a bigger campus)
I frequently get published in the daily newspaper in my current campus in ALbuquerque, New Mexico
I started the first community recycling project in my high school in LOndon, England
I have lived in London, England for 19 years of my life (i am 20 years old), i have a dual British-American citizenship, and did many more community projects in London. </p>
<p>Refs:
I think the teacher who i got to write my reference taught at GWU at some point, (i THINK) but i am not sure. I know she wrote an EXCELLENT reference. She is also the first Jewish woman to be published by the University of Palestine or something. She is a Biblical archaeologist and my history teacher. </p>
<p>So as you can see i am not exactly your straight forward candidate. An English guy with an american passport and Indian origins ending up in a small community college in the middle of nowhere in New Mexico, then to the main campus in ALbuquerque, and now to DC.</p>
<p>wow impressive..now I am nervous. </p>
<p>If you dont mind me asking how are you planing on paying for GW? My main concern if I do get in is that I will have 120k debt to pay back when I graduate. Something that may not be worth it. My parents did not want to provide the paper work for financial aid so I will get nothing from that. Everything is all on me.</p>
<p>I am so sorry your parents didn't want to provide the paperwork for FA, because GW happens to have a very generous FA plan. Is there any way they can file late?</p>
<p>Nope. They refuse to submit their financial information I am not even sure if they would qualify anyways.</p>
<p>ive submitted my fafsa, getting my dad's 2007 english tax returns tomorrow and my american tax returns tomorrow and gonna send that over so its there on monday. hopefully they will give me some financial aid, then i can cover the rest either with my own money (i have a fair amount saved up) and get a loan. My last resort would be to ask my dad for money to cover the rest of the cost.</p>
<p>anyone received any paperwork yet?</p>
<p>I have received paperwork from GW. Has anyone received any scholarship? how to apply for scholarship?</p>
