<p>joycesays +joshh_87: Yeah, I was afraid they hadn't gotten mine too, because I never got anything from them confirming that they got it. They did though, so I wouldn't worry about that too much. My letter was postmarked monday, so it's reasonable that you might not get yours until tomorrow.</p>
<p>As for the honors program, they do tell you in the acceptance package. I didn't see it at first, because the package is extremely complicated- it has four seperate folders and five letters. The honors program information is in the special programs folder on the right when you do get yours.</p>

<p>:-/ No scholarship.... I got them at BU and American but I guess GW is harder. I want to go to GW...but 50,000 is a lot of money, especially since I have a twin brother. Hopefully they aren't done with the financial aid yet and we will get some need based aid.</p>
<p>Decision: ACCEPTED!! Probably not going, because although I love the school and especially the area it is way too big for me. I don't feel like attending classes with 500 students.</p>

<li>why you think you were accepted/rejected/waitlisted: Because I rock!!! Haha just kidding. True, my grades weren't hot, but they were acceptable by GW's standards, and my SAT score, while low compared to the other people on the board, put me in the running. My essays and recs were really good, and I had a phone interview.</li>

<p>Hmm.. still waiting to get my admissions package, so don't know about fin aid or anything.... damn i hope the indian postal service doesn't eat it up.</p>
<p>My daughter still has NOT heard ANYTHING by mail. She tried BanWeb, but couldn't get logged in, despite following the directions. She called GW admissions once the mail came today, and they wouldn't say Yea or Nay, but they told her that her letter was only mailed Thursday (yesterday). Any insights into what this information might mean?
Are acceptances being mailed throughout this week?
Has ANYONE been rejected yet?
Are rejections sent next week?</p>
