Early Decision I (Official Thread)

<p>9 days (approximately) until the Early Decision online notifications?</p>

<p>What are your thoughts, comments, or concerns?</p>

<p>Thought: I am very anxious for time to pass
Concern: So many ED1 applicants (1600) but so little spots available (900 total for BOTH ED rounds). How many people do you think will be admitted for round 1? I’m guessing 700.</p>

<p>do you know what time the notifications should be sent out?</p>

<p>looking at past year’s boards, it has been 5:00pm, however I don’t know if thats consistent every year.</p>

<p>Is this going to be on December 15th for sure?</p>

<p>Officially it looks like they say “mid-December” and last year from these boards it was on December 10th. Someone could call and ask or put in a question on Colonial Message Board and see if they answer…</p>

<p>Wow, December 10th? That would be awesome if we heard back that early. What’s making me nervous is that we really don’t know when the EDIs are coming out. I feel like at any moment we could get an email from GW telling us to check our App Status. Also, where can I find the other boards?</p>

<p>last year, as an ED applicant, the acceptances came out a few days before they origianlly told me they would come out. The will send out an email 2 or 3 days in advance letting you know the decsions will be coming out online, and last year it was online at 5pm est. But last year, the system crashed bc everyone got on at the same time…so it wasnt until like 8pm that night. Then a few days later ur acceptance will come in the mail…and then a few days after that any financial aid will come in the mail. If you get a merit scholarship, that will come in ur acceptace letter mail package. Good luck</p>

<p>Alright thanks for the info. The anticipation is killing me. It’s just making it worse that we really don’t know when we’re finding out. Online when they tell u if you have been admitted does it just say “Application Status: Admitted” or does it send you like a link to admitted students page.</p>

<p>Just go to the GW thread, scroll to the bottom and change it to show threads from the past year. You can look at the ED1 threads and the dates from last December. When my daughter was admitted the application status changed. Good luck!!!</p>

<p>im sooooooo nervous… i hope its dec 15 cuz thats what ive been counting down too. any earlier or later i think ill have a nervous break down…</p>

<p>Does anyone know when we’re getting responses back? What’s making me the most nervous is that idk when we’re even finding out. =[</p>

<p>just over 24 hours to go…</p>

<p>Did all the other EDI people get e-mails saying TOMORROW (wednesday) at 6 pm, the decisions will be posted???</p>

<p>PUMPEDDDDDD / ANXIOUSSSSSS</p>

<p>(PS any idea when we’ll get word on any merit money/presidential scholarship decisions?)</p>

<p>I just got that same email as well.</p>

<p>I’m incredibly anxious!
I was not expecting it to be early :)</p>

<p>Same!!! Not expecting it to be this early. The email says that any merit info will come in the mail mid-December. Good luck to all. I hope to see you all in DC this fall =]</p>

<p>i’m so nervous. and excited.</p>

<p>i really, really hope i get this.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if they tell you if you make the honors program the same time they tell you if you’re in?</p>

<p>Less than 7 hours !!! so nervous</p>

<p>i’m nervous toooo!!!</p>

<p>I’m nervous too :/…good luck everyone!</p>
