[/ul]General Comments:
if you really want to go, SHOW INTEREST !!! email, call, inquired about stuff you already know about, just talk to them ! they record everything! every call, email and visit counts toward you! also, i was worried about financial aid but i did ED 1 anyway. I got sooo much money in financial aid!. im paying less than i would at my state school. but my income is low so thats probably why lol</p>

[/ul]General Comments:</p>
<p>how do we check our financial aid package? I still haven’t seen anything</p>
<p>should be available through the portal where you checked that you were accepted</p>
<p>fitz1699: Alternatively: (1) call the GW School that accepted you; (2) tell them you were accepted; and (3) ask if you were offered a scholarship or the like. Good luck!</p>
