so i just checked the portal and it was down, so decisions may come up tomorrow!
@musicizlyfe portal works for me???
@kaitlynjoy well then there goes that theory haha
@musicizlyfe also working for me
nervous , got last option is GWU !
This is my #1 school and I am like so nervous for tomorrow I am shaking omg
what are your guy’s stats?
3.7 UW 3.9 Weighted
Good essays and LoR
Band since 4th grade, french since 7th
3.6 UW 4.1 Weighted
2200 SAT, good essays and LoRs
Debate since 9th (national champion), congressional intern, and spanish since 7th (also 300+ hours of community service)
But American WaitListed me so I don’t even know anymore
@kaitlynjoy we’re in the same boat. I got waitlisted from AU, too. 3.9 GPA, 4.3 weighted. Impressive community hours, though. I only have about 85, lol.
@Cosmopolitian13 Oh man nice GPA!! hopefully GWU likes us more than American did…
@Cosmopolitian13 @kaitlynjoy well this waiting game isn’t fun idk why they insist on holding this over our heads
@musicizlyfe oh goodness I hate it. It’s killing me because they don’t even update us in any way and I don’t understand why X(
3.9ish (school doesn’t calculate) UW, 4.19 Weighted
2050 SAT (1400 Math+Verbal), 29 ACT (didn’t send)
3 really strong LoRs (all Academic, though)
Essay: (GW Supplement pretty good, but not too thorough / less than 250 words was hard for me)
Lots of theatre/performing arts training and experience (and working as a teacher’s aide), Leadership training (which involved community service), and church teaching and volunteering.
I’ve gotten into Tulane and Boston University (Kilachand Honors) which I think are pretty comparable (and have similar acceptance rates) – but that doesn’t necessarily mean much.
I applied to History at Columbian as my first choice, with Middle East Studies at Elliott as an alternate.
Good luck to everyone!
@kaitlynjoy Ikr, It would be really nice if they would just set/announce a release date, rather than string us out like this!!
@historyprof This is torturous, because it could come out as late as Thursday!!! at least they don’t do snail mail tho
@kaitlynjoy That’s true; then we all find out at the same time (or at least close to it). I hate the whole mailing issue of “wait…you got your acceptance letter today…I didn’t…I must be rejected” …That just causes more stress!
I really hope it’s before Thursday…that’s already a huge decision day and it’d be nice to know before then…
@historyprof I applied to University of Washington seattle and the whole forum was in outrage because they did waves i think by region so that sucked
Literally cannot sleep because of this…I’m afraid gw might waitlist me for need-aware reasons…this is the last school I’m waiting to hear from…so nervous
Two college decisions left so the process can finally move forward. It seems like we’ve been talking about colleges for three years but ready to move on. Fingers crossed today is the day but know regardless it’ll be by Friday the latest!
@Sandy02 3 years of waiting isn’t as frustrating as these few days lol
