that’s ridiculously late, other schools require a commitment by June 1st, so I guess GW is no longer an option
Yea I got into umd so that’s where I’m looking at now
that really sucks tbh because gwu is a lot of people’s first choice- including mine but i really wish they were a lot more organized like the other universities because i have gotten all my transfer decisions from everywhere expect them. i really hope they pull through this week or next week because housing most importantly and class registration need to be figured out and assigned if we were to go to gwu ya know.
some people on reddit from last years fall transfer applications have gotten their decisions on may 22nd… this year would be probably may 21st since may 21st falls on a saturday. i really hope that is the case tho!!!
I called the office yesterday and the person I spoke with said the decisions will be rolling from June - July and that people who had all their application materials in will hear sooner most likely. So as much as I would love for it to be this week…
Also does anyone know if gwu will care if I have a leave of absence from my current school for this past semester? I don’t think it was a requirement to have an explanation for an interruption of study but I’m wondering if it’s worth emailing them a statement just in case
@ Mrs. Smith - Sometimes they ask for an explanation but I don’t think it is a big issue.
Has anyone heard anything?
nope not yet. hoping to hear at 2pm today??? that was the time they were released last year…
Let’s hope!
did anyone get anything?
Sadly, no.
I also wonder why so few people on this thread. NYU thread has tons of people. Are there not that many GW transfer applicants?
I think so? this thread is small compared to the other transfer threads… also maybe people just dont know about it? i wish there was more interaction lol but I guess we’ll hope for next week- I really hope they release them so we know before June 1st because of the deadline!!! do you think they’ll release decisions on saturday/tomorrow? I don’t think so tbh but last year it was may 22nd so I just guessed it would be may 21st because it is a weekday…
This is the quietest thread. The only other one I am on that is quieter is University of Toronto but that one makes sense.
Maybe there ARE less applicants which is better for us! 6/1 deadline here as well. Where else did you apply? Do you have any knowledge about how GW is with financial and merit aid for transfers?
I pretty much heard from everyone:
american uni✅
virginia tech✅
uva❌
vcu✅
just virginia schools pretty much…
how about you???
I heard that gwu is a hit or miss with financial aid for transfers… some people on reddit said that they got pretty good offers. the scholarships shown on the website are all inapplicable for a lot of students so I hope they pull through with the grants and aid tbh. but if you said that not a lot of transfer students applied than there could be a lot of money left over for financial aid for transfer students…it depends on the college/ program your in and how much money they have left… i do hope they pull through… i would just like to know already- it is my first choice!
