George Washington Regular Decision Thread

<p>Since ED 2 decisions have been released... how about a thread for us Regulars! Anyone else anxious for a decision?</p>

<p>hey do u kno the exact date for the admission decision</p>

<p>Nope, the site only states “Late March/Early April.”</p>

<p>[Admission</a> Dates and Deadlines | Dates & Deadlines | Apply to GW | Undergraduate Admissions | Apply | The George Washington University](<a href=“http://www.gwu.edu/apply/undergraduateadmissions/applytogw/datesdeadlines]Admission”>http://www.gwu.edu/apply/undergraduateadmissions/applytogw/datesdeadlines)</p>

<p>Last year’s came out on March 25th though</p>

<p>are u nervous? when i applied gw was like my top school, but on my list it was a target, now i feel lik i might get rejected cuz i read somewhere on one of the therads that ed is included 37% acceptance rate, so accept. rate for reg. is lower</p>

<p>regular decision is tough - after the ED cycle there’s only about 1,250 spots left for ~18,000 RD applicants. so figure 5,500 acceptances.</p>

<p>It is always the last week of March, before April 1.</p>

<p>Yoga, you visited and interviewed?</p>

<p>did not interview or visit. im screwed</p>

<p>Oh, am I anxious! </p>

<p>I earnestly believe that the odds are in my favor (more so than not, anyway) for being admitted, but amassing the necessary cash (through merit aid, financial aid, etc…) to attend is another matter entirely. </p>

<p>One can dream, right? </p>

<p><em>wishes March would make haste</em></p>

<p>I didn’t visit or interview… always looked at GW as a safety school. But now I really want to go! I applied to a 5 year program and honors… so I hope I get into one or the other. It would really be an enticing offer.</p>

<p>@soccer, lets hope the fact that gw is your safety didnt show on your essays because if so, you probably wont get in</p>

<p>if it makes you guys feel any better, they accepted 6,890 applicants last year :P. The year before that was 200ish fewer. Expect it to be around 6000s again this year. Gluck! :)</p>

<p>How do decisions get sent? Email? Or do applicants sign in and check GW’s portal?</p>

<p>they email you about 1-2 days before telling you when to check. and then you check the portal. and then you get the package.</p>

<p>What is your app status, it says “complete” or “under review”?</p>

<p>Mine says under review</p>

<p>it wont say complete. its stays as under review until you get a decision</p>

<p>I was just curious if “under review” means that decision will be soon</p>

<p>under review just means that all of your materials were received. It won’t change until you get a decision, and it’s not rolling admissions so you won’t find out until late march/early april</p>
