<p>Yeah I also heard that they don't like if you put Georgetown down on your list of other colleges applied too. <-That was from someone who works for GW so I'm guessing it's somewhat credible.</p>
<p>^^ Not true...S put Gtown down as an "also apply" but still got in. (not to Gtown though)</p>
<p>well i applied to the med prg, so intially it wasn't a safety for me</p>

<p>Woody- my D did the same, and also included a few Ivies. I was worried when she told me that, but she was admitted, and got a Pres. Scholarship, and Honors, and will probably go.</p>
<p>I just said they didn't like it - Not that they wouldn't be accepted. But, I don't think they should even ask or consider it if it could possibly hurt them or sway the adcoms views. I put down some Ivies as well and GW was probably middle of the list, but I was accepted and will be attending.</p>
<p>Congratulations to all those accepted! If you do decide to come to GW, the next four years will, without a doubt, some of the most exciting!</p>
<p>If I got significantly more merit aid from a comparable school ($24k from Miami, invited to interview for $32k), think GW would even consider changing my scholarship? I got $15k and no need-based. I would LOVE to go to GW, but I currently can't afford it.</p>
<p>accepted, etc. to that journalism and communications school. Funny, cause i pulled my essay out of my butt 15 mins before submitting. Oh well! Got a 15K scholarship but it's ranked lower than UC Davis... and UC Berkeley... you're paying for location. <em>shrug</em> prolly not going. Good luck waitlistees! For the most expensive school in america, you're sure to be admitted once people can't pay for g-dub.</p>
