@kenzielouwho Congratulations!!
CONGRATSS
@kenzielouwho I SCREAMED WHEN WE SAW YOUR POST! SO AWESOME! SO VERY PROUD OF YOU! =D> =D>
Hi guys, I got a call today from the admissions office. They asked if I was still interested, then the guy said my portal will be update tonight. Does this mean I’m going to be accepted?
Yes I think that you will be accepted. My daughter was called today and her portal now says accepted. Congratulations!
@Ivanne Congrats to your daughter!!
@HappyFace2018 thank you! Now we are just waiting and hoping the financial package is better than AU’s.
hey everyone! do you all think if i call next week that it’ll help my chances? i was going to call april 12th, but i thought i was certain about where i wanted to go to college. however, after a lot of thought, i realized that gw is the school for me and i hope and pray they’ll hear me out!
could the people who got in/got the call share their stats just so that I can see where my possibilities are? Im genuinely happy for you all!
@tayloecarroll welcome young one! well, I called 2 times after the actual call in thingie and emailed 1 time. you can try but I mean we can’t really know thats why its called a waitlist we just gotta wait. they told me to email them thou
@GWdreamteam1998 My stats: 3.5 GPA- however, I go to the third best school in nj so they take that into account. I applied ED I and was deferred, and I talked a lot with my regional admissions counselor. Last summer, I did the GW precollege for the international affairs class. Since my school is strange, I was only able to take 1 ap class- ap lit, this year.
for ECs:
Varisty volleyball player 4 years, captain senior year. I was the head of a couple clubs and ran my own school wide project through the feminist club. I worked all 4 years at 2 different jobs including over 40 hours a week at one of the jobs during the summer. Also, I volunteered at the lincoln center for preforming arts for about a year.
While academically I know I’m not the most competitive student, I think they recognized that I would still thrive at GW because of my travel experience and because I moved so often as a kid.
Mainly, I think my continual interest level in GW has put me towards the top of the wait list. After I was waitlisted, the regional admissions person called my guidance counselor and said she is advocating for me as much as possible because of the level of interest and personality/fit for the school I have shown. I called on April 12, and I interviewed in the fall. Best of luck.
@emr123 how did you find out who your regional admissions counselor was?
also can i just say how happy i am that this chat flourished into such an amazing support group? I mean we all get to go through this hellish process but at least we aren’t doing it alone!! we are doing this TOGETHER… WERE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER
@GWdreamteam1998 I found her through attending a GW info session and then asked my guidance counselor for her info. Here is the list: https://undergraduate.admissions.gwu.edu/admissions-representatives
You can still try to express interest.
I’m getting really stressed out since my situation is quite bad. I applied to BU, NYU, AU, GWU, and Uni of Miami. I got waitlisted to NYU, uni of Miami, and GWU. I got rejected from the rest. I only accepted the waitlist offer from GWU and at the moment I have no hope. With the way things are looking, i will most likely be attending my community college. My stats were very good and I also had tons of extracurriculars and I am amongst the top of my graduating class. It hurts me to see all of my hard work wasted. I’m very upset and stressed and if GWU doesn’t accept me off the waitlist then I’m going to community college… Wish me luck guys
@LailaSultani you still have a chance at Miami and NYU
@GWdreamteam1998 unfortunately no I wish. NYU waitlisted soooo many students and only accepts a small amount. Very slim slim chance. And I didn’t accept miami’s waitlist offer because they did not offer good financial aid
@LailaSultani oh i understand
Hi guys, I’m waitlisted also and I’ve done everything possible and I’m sooooo scared. Everyone’s getting replies but I haven’t heard anything. This is my first choice and I’m just scared
@LailaSultani I know the pain I’m in a similar situation because there are no spots for the scholarship program I’m in at any other schools I applied to… Top 15% of the class, tons of APs and extracurriculars, scholarship oppprtunities that took me on a trip the whole nine and this entire process if just so stressful but I hope those of us that have had GW in our hearts since the start get in because we deserve it after all the stress and things of the sort this really is like a support group that I’m grateful for
