<p>According to their facebook, tranfers should start to find out mid-May. Good luck to all!</p>
<p>Yea, GW is known for the Elliot School of International Affairs. But I mean the regular college is hard to get into as well since its kind of the main school that most people apply to and the biggest. ellomeno, what other schools did you apply to? I also applied to Georgetown University, but we’ll see how that goes. Yea, we should probably be hearing back around mid-May to the beginning of June. I really hope its not the latter.</p>
<p>@isharmie I figured since I applied to regular IR for other schools I would give Elliott a shot as like my ivy/reach school.
I’ve applied to USC, Colby, NYU,BU, Barnard, College of William & Mary & Elliott what about you?</p>
<p>I got my GWID the day right after I applied so you should def have recieved something.</p>
<p>Mid May makes it difficult for students applying to other schools. My wife applied to five schools including GWU. Two have already admitted her and one of those two (American) offered her a scholarhsip. It is one thing to ask for a 30 day extension on an admissions offer, but many schools have firmer deadlines on scholarship money for obvious reasons.</p>
<p>Arlingtonian, I agree. It makes transferring out very difficult to plan. I imagine GWU is aware of this. If I may, what is your wife planning on studying?</p>
<p>My wife applied for admisison to the GWU Business School.</p>
<p>Well, I’m currently a student at George Mason University so I want to stay in the area. That’s why I applied to only GWU and Georgetown University. Yes, I remember last year since most people got their decisions around the first week of June, some of them had to commit to other schools just to be safe. A lot of other schools give their decisions May 1st or latest May 15th…wish GWU was the same.</p>
<p>Hey, do you guys think that applying to the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences or SEAS is easier as a transfer? I heard its easier to get into SEAS for both freshman and transfer? Correct me if I’m wrong!</p>
<p>You are wrong! Kids getting in @SEAS have very high GPAs and SATs. For example, the SEAS kids have 700s in their SAT-Ms (or at least high 600s). I suggest you call the SEAS office or the admissions office to check the average stats for, e.g., the class of 2014/2015 SEAS RD stats.</p>
<p>You may also want to check the GW RD threads for the recent classes of 2014/2015, and check out the stats of the acceptees to GW SEAS.</p>
<p>@euro456, I’m sure most of the students at GW have pretty high GPAs/SATs in general, that is not what I was referring to when I was talking about SEAS. For example, the Elliot School of International Affairs and CCAS are more competitive to get into than SEAS, but the students of all three schools may all have high/similar GPAs/SATs. Just because they have high stats, does not have to do with whether or not one school is more competitive to get into from the other. Its just based on the popularity of those schools and GWU isnt necessarily known for its engineering program as it is for their International/Global programs. I had already emailed them regarding the acceptance rates from past years of CCAS and SEAS and am waiting for their response.</p>
<p>Actually I decided to do a little research, and found this published in the GW Hatchet, which some of you can check out. </p>
<p>“While SPHHS was the most selective for first-time students at the University, the School of Engineering and Applied Science was the least selective, admitting 41.7 percent of applicants. The Columbian College of Arts and Sciences admitted 31 percent and the Elliott School of International Affairs admitted 32.2 percent of first-time applicants.” </p>
<p>So I was right, both CCAS and Elliot have similar acceptance rates, while SEAS has a substantially higher acceptance rate, in other words, probably easier to get into. Of course, this might be different for transfers! This article was published in Sept 2010.</p>

<p>You seemed to have asked, in general, if applying to the CCAS or SEAS is easier as a transfer. If your GPA/SATs do not closely match the CCAS or SEAS entering class, then it will not be easier, right?</p>
<p>SATs/GPAs are not the only aspect of the application that is considered. I remember last year, some students with perfect 4.0 GPAs and 2200 SAT scores were rejected from GW, while many other students with lower stats got in. Sometimes it really does depend what school you apply to, because if that school has had a lot of people transferring out, then that leaves more spots for people trying to transfer in.</p>
<p>Isharmie: As a transfer, I think you may have a point. For example, I heard that science (specially, pre-meds) & engineering students are dropping out like flies during their freshman year. Naturally, the science & engineering departments may be logical targets for transfers. Good luck & best wishes to you!</p>
<p>Yup! Case in point, my D’s dorm mate- magnet high school w/ above 4.0 & high SAT; was pre-med; thought she could breeze through chemistry & ended up getting a C- last semester. Now re-considering her major.</p>
<p>Should I be concerned if I haven’t yet received a GWID? I don’t mean “concerned” in a “omg I got rejected” way but more in a “maybe everyone else got one already and there was a miscommunication with me receiving mine” way.</p>
<p>@jayfromla-- you should just email them requesting for one. they should have sent one a few days after you submitted your application, but they can make mistakes like that sometimes!</p>
