Hi there! Since I haven’t found any thread dedicated to GU-Q’S Class of 2023, I decided to create one. I received my acceptance letter on March 11, has anyone else gotten it? Very much looking forward to seeing all admitted students on GAAP day in Doha!
Congratulations Shakh. When did you take your interview - before March?
Thank you! I had my interview on Feb 17. What about you?
I had mine on Feb 28. I have not heard from them until now. By the way, if you can share, where are you from? How was your application? I just wanted a confirmation soon from them to decide my college, but it seems they will send late. Did they invite you for GAAP day?
I am from Uzbekistan. Usually all admission decisions are sent out until mid April, so I guess there is literally nothing to worry about!
According to what I was told, all admitted students are definitely welcome to take part at GAAP day, but only few get their expenses covered by University. Good luck and hope to see you in Doha this April!
I applied also but haven’t received any response from them either since my interview. Shakh123, would you mind sharing your gpa/ SAT stats with us? I’m getting a bit nervous here as I am really interested in the school.
BTW, my interview was before your interview Shakh123 so I don’t know what to think.
No worries, fam. I’m sure you’ll hear good news from GU-Q until mid April. When it comes to my stats, I think they shouldn’t be considered as an indicator of the strength of your application, since GU-Q uses holistic approach when reviewing applications. However, I can inform you that my gpa is 3.9 and sat 1400 (600 ebrw & 800 math). Hope it helps 
Thanks for your positive message. You are right about the holistic approach and so doesn’t seem to matter that our stats are similar. Trying to stay positive and so your message helps. Thanks again! Pmpukk, any word regarding your application yet?
Sorry for being a little late to the party! I received my acceptance letter from GU-Q on the 11th as well, but I have yet to get a financial aid award offer from the school. Has anyone else gotten there’s?
@Coolguy007, I have not received any response from them yet. I think if they had accepted, they would have sent us an acceptance letter by now (Not discouraging). I wanted a confirmation from them so that I can decide my college, but it seems I have to wait longer. And, I don’t have pretty good SAT scores.
@pmpukk, even if you do not have the best test scores I would still go along with Shakh123 in believing that you could have a good chance of getting in without them; I share roughly the same -if not lower- test scores than them, as well as a lower GPA. Additionally, something that I noticed throughout my interview was that my interviewer primarily focused on discussing what I said in the personal statement and what I put down for extracurriculars. Even though that is standard for most college interviews, I have never had an interviewer actually read the essay that I sent in and I think that says a lot about what they are looking for outside of being able to take a test. Nonetheless, I hope everything works out for you and Coolguy007. Stay strong.
@s1011616, Thank you. Yes, actually the interview went as you said. If you can share, when was your interview? And, best wishes to you.
@pmpukk, My interview took place four days prior to yours on the 24th of February.
@s1011616 that means for sure I will not be getting an acceptance, so for me, it is time to turn to other unis. Best wishes to you all guys. And, thank you @s1011616.
No problem @pmpukk, best wishes to you as well in finishing up the uni process.
@Shakh123, Have you received anything regarding financial aid? If not, do you know when it is expected to come out? I’m a bit on edge about it since the Class of 2022/2023 is being offered new need-based scholarships from the school and tuition+room/board per year is relatively high…
No, I haven’t received my finaid packet yet. I guess it’s due to the fact that I submitted all required documents only yesterday, so they won’t get processed until Wednesday. Indeed, financial aid opportunities for members of the class of 2023 are awesome, and that gives me a hope!
@s1011616 do you have IG account? I think it would make our communication more efficient ?
@Shakh123 Out of all social media I do not have an IG (lol). I mostly use WhatsApp for communicating
Hey s1011616 and Shakh123, did you get your letters via email or in the mail? Just wondering as I’m outside the US and so if the letter was mailed, I wouldn’t get it. I have looked on the portal though and nothing updated.
