Only about 2 weeks until decisions! Super anxious, best of luck everyone!

Hoping they come out early I know some years they have been ready by the 12th.

does anyone know if completing the interview shows up under the checklist on the portal?

@colonial2020 It didn’t for me

Has anyone heard the exact date we are supposed to hear? I know they have said Mid-December, but has anyone heard of a more exact date that will hear back from GW for our ED 1.

@colonial2020 It did not for me either.

I just called them and they informed me that we’d receive the notification mid- December or at the latest, the end of December. I can’t stop thinking about it. I’m so anxious!

I really hope it’s soon. I want to know ASAP

I agree! The past two years they sent out the emails on the 19th; I’m hoping we get ours a bit earlier, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see! Fingers crossed, my anxiety is through the roof haha :slight_smile:

I hope its here around the 15th. I am so scared and just want to know already. We are getting closer!!

I think it will be on the 18th, it’s a friday and thats when they told everyone last year on the 19th. But I agree, I hope it’s earlier!

My CSS profile is listed as received but not my early app. Anyone else like this?

I called yesterday and they said probably the 20th or late december …but the 20th is a sunday so i guess the 21st? not sure. Hope we find out soon

@HeyItsNick same for me!
@aghasahib thats so far :(( wish I could know right now hahah

i feel you @gw2020 - this has taken over my life , i cant even think about anything else rn

but where else is everybody applying to. if god forbid we dont make it ?

@aghasahib I applied to schools in Virginia…GW is the only school in DC I think fits me the best. I just really hope I get in so I don’t have to make a decision between other schools and wait till April :frowning:
