<p>So I received an email from the university saying that I was accepted and then nothing ever arrived in the mail... When I called they said I was rejected. I want to know if you can appeal the decision and if you can, what are GWU's procedures? I heard people appeal before with GWU.</p>
<p>I personally think it is strange that you got an e-mail from GW saying you were accepted. I thought most, if not all, decisions were given out on their portal login.</p>
<p>Seeing as they don’t even accept a healthy percentage of the waitlist, I’m not sure how effective an appeal would be.</p>
<p>You could write them a letter detailing how much you want to go to the school, that they are your number one and provide any information that they didn’t receive.</p>
<p>If there is no new information, no new grades, no new tests scores and/or nothing substantial… I hate to say you may just get another rejection. But if it is your number one choice, it is always worth the attempt, right?</p>
<p>Good luck though!</p>
<p>Thanks! A professor actually emailed me and said I received a scholarship as well! It was so strange of them, and they all say different things. Some admissions people say I got in and some say i’m not accepted. I wrote to the professor about my acceptance (according to him) and now i am waiting for a response.</p>
<p>It seems extremely unorthodox of the admissions and professor to be e-mailing you about acceptances and scholarships. </p>
<p>What does it say when you login to your gwapplication portal?</p>
<p>Why would that help?</p>
<p>Also, try talking to a non-student at the admissions office. It always seems the students can’t really help you :P</p>
<p>My portal says International Affairs has been rejected, but as far as I knew, I applied to the Fine Arts as well. I was rejected for IA but apparently accepted for Fine Arts. One Admissions Officer told me if I was emailed by a professor than I am in, but not according to the lady I talked to today.</p>
<p>International Affairs was my first major and Art was my second. French was my third choice on the common app.</p>
<p>The portal shouldn’t say anything about your major (at least, mine and many other didn’t)…</p>
<p>Well Since they emailed me and congratulated me about my acceptance “as a Fine Arts major” I believe I got rejected for International Affairs…</p>
<p>What does the portal say though? I’m curious about this “email”, as I haven’t heard of a single other student receiving one. Did you have previous contact with this professor?</p>
<p>Getting an email notification from a college is very suspicious. Could you tell us the email address it came from?</p>
<p>Yes, I did meet the professor before and it was their email that was sent to my email.</p>
