<p>Yes! I got accepted to the School of Engineering and Applied Science with a half tuition scholarship of $72,800.</p>
<p>Stats:
1300/1600 SAT
46/587 Rank</p>
<p>Great job on your acceptance, but HOW did you get that scholarship? My interviewer told me they didn't even consider merit awards for applicants under a 1350 or 1400 (I can't remember which it was).</p>
<p>That's a really good question - I was completely shocked. My stats are probably in the lower half the class. Here's the exact thing it says: "Your admission is further distinguished with a half tuition School of Engineering and Applied Scholarship which is based on your impressive academic credentials. This annually renewable scholarship, worth up to $72,800, requires you to maintain enrollment in the School of Engineering and Applied Science."</p>
<p>Maybe it's due in part to America's need for Math and Science students or something like that. I've won a few awards and trophies and was in a lot of clubs, my essays and recs were pretty good, but I still think it's weird I got that scholarship when people with better stats didn't.</p>
<p>i'm sure there is no cut off on the sat for merit aid- i'm sure to get merit aid at GWU itsdonew holisticly like eveything in the college admission process should be- i think your itnerviewer was talking about admissions to the honors program -which has a cut off a 1350- unless, he is some sort of insider on things at GW- because what he said hasn't been published anywhere- i think you got the scholarship because you applied to the engineering school, which is the least applied to out of the three if i'm correct (discounting the communications school b/c its so small?)-requires you to maintain enrollment in the School of Engineering and Applied Science."
that should tell you why -guess you had higher stats that the average applicant to this school------anyways congradulations if i ever got that much money at GW i would be there in a heartbeat-- i really can't believe you got the money as a ED applicant too---that usually hurts your chances if your borderline beacuse they know you WILL COME--it doesn't serve as an incentive---</p>
<p>Congrats Elbuodne!!!!</p>
<p>You're in and you don't have to worry about the whole college process it's done! By the way how did you find out you were accepted? Did they send you an e-mail or did you receive your acceptance in the mail? Do you know anyone else who applied to GW and who has heard from them? Anyhow, nice job w/the scholarship!</p>
<p>Thanks! I know, it's great. I found out through the mail, I was never emailed. And, yes, I've talked to one other person and he got in as well.</p>
