<p>I just got my acceptance email yesterday (after being rejected by Notre Dame a few hours earlier) and am wondering if my projected fin aid package will come with my official acceptence letter? If not, when do they come?
Thanks all</p>
<p>Try calling the financial aid office to see if they sent those out or not. 1-800-222-6242.</p>
<p>thanks
i called and was told they were mailed out usps priority yesterday</p>
<p>merit scholarships will come with the admissions packet. fin aid stuff will come later. I just got my admissions folder (which looks good by the way) with a half tuition scholarship.</p>
<p>wow...thats a pretty awesome scholorship! what are your gpa and scores?</p>
<p>I'm really nervous about aid. I'm in that "too rich to get need, but still can't foot 50k/yr." category. My EFC was lower than 50k though, so I suppose I'll get some loans or something. My scores aren't outstanding, but are somewhere between average and slightly above by GWU standards. Just waiting on a packet!</p>
<p>Almost Irish2006-Thanks!! My unweighted GPA is 3.91 and weighted GPA is 4.64. My SAT score: 670 CR, 700 M, 700 W (1370, 2070). I feel that if my SAT score was higher, I would have gotten more money.</p>
<p>Anyone know how else I can afford GW? I'm not eligible for need even though my parents can't pay $20,000 a year. I don't know much about financial aid and all the different types of loans. I don't like loans either, but if you guys have suggestions please let me know.</p>
<p>Yay! I got a 1/2 tuition scholarship too. I can sort of (not really) afford it now. Does merit aid subtract from need aid or are the two completely seperate? For instance, if I was entitled to need aid based on my EFC, but I received a merit scholarship, do I still get my need aid even if it is surpassed by my merit award?</p>
<p>no, you can only get the full amount which is around $50,000. they try to give as much merit/scholarship as possible before anything else. I'll be staying at home because I live so near the university, but I'm in the same financial situation you are in.</p>
