GWU Waitlist 2016

@GWdreamteam1998 It’s definiteIy not impossible! lol I committed to UCSD and made the deposit just in case but if I happen to get accepted to GW with a good financial aid package then I’ll probably accept GW if I get off the waitlist :slight_smile:

hey guys! I wish the best of luck to all of us!

Did anyone else do an interview for GW? I did and I thought it went superrrr well so ngl I’m pretty disappointed

@koolkat25 no. i thought that was only for post grad

@GWdreamteam1998 Don’t feel bad! This is your future and anyone waiting for a spot at the other school where you, in the meantime, commit, will be pleasantly surprised if a last minute spot opens up because of you. Let that decision be in their hands, not yours. Good luck— and always accept what you have earned.

Really hope I get in :confused: so confused how i even got on the waitlist considering my twin brother got in and we have similar stats. (my gpa higher his test scores higher) We really want to go to college together. You think him getting in will help my chances?

@muffinman25 SAME! my brother goes there and i wanted to go with him but i got waitlisted. i honestly think it won’t matter that much because the only thing it helps with is financial aid

Hopefully we get off the waitlist, best of luck man.

@muffinman25 thanks! good luck to you too!!

I got waitlisted to and am so anxious because GW is practically everything for me. Didn’t get to do the interview but I got my NROTC scholarship (which pays for college but the admissions office doesn’t know kmn) applied there but I think I got waitlisted because right before the decisions came out, I was contacted that there was something wrong with my CSS because they saw my FAFSA and saw my family’s finances WHICH IS BAD AND CAN’T PAY FOR GW WHICH IS WHY SCHOLARSHIP. I’m really nervous for this week because we call in and I don’t know what to do. I also hope we all are the small fraction of people who get in. Also, I’m from a college prep school in Rhode Island and only one friend that I know of have applied, was accepted, and doesn’t want to go soooooooooo idk.

Are you calling in this week? If so do you know what you’re going to say or what that will be like???

Does anyone know what they ask when you call in? Is it a real person or automated?

I’m calling tomorrow to confirm the #1 choice and hope it makes a difference lol

@alanislguerra @mercedes16 i think its real person and honestly just speak from the heart and tell them new achievements

GUYS IMPORTANT:
I just called and here are some tips:

  1. speak slowly! they are trying to keep record of everything you say by typing it! so when you are listing your new achievements make sure you are going through them slowly. I went too fast and he was like wow so much but I’m trying to keep up with you
  2. show them how much GW means to you
  3. Speak from the heart!

here is what they asked me:

  1. your GW iD (have that ready)
  2. what are your other options
  3. are you still sticking with your major
  4. what are new achievements that you have (academically and non academically) THIS IS WHERE YOU SHOULD SPEAK SLOWLY AND CLEARLY

GOOD LUCK GUYS!!!

@GWdreamteam1998 how many schools did you list for your other options when you talked to admissions?

The guy also asked me if I was offered admission if I would accept quickly like in a day or two he asked why GW I told a personal anecdote about when I was visiting and told me that what I did(calling) was the best thing I could’ve done !! Good luck guys !

Finally called in. Now I must wait till mid-May which seems like forever but it’ll probably come quicker than I think lol!! Best of luck to all! :slight_smile:

I want to know before May I don’t want to put a housing deposit down somewhere then get off the waitlist :frowning: the other college I’m looking at the deposit is $900 that’s a lot of money to just change my mind…

Okay everyone I’m on pins and needles for all of you. As a parent I want you all to get offers from GW!!

@alexxxcee just one
