<p>if i have not gotten a FA email yet, does that mean I’m not getting any FA?</p>
<p>Ram0276:It’s worth waiting for- very impressive.</p>
<p>@ems1995: I doubt it. I have a really low EFC so I’m sure I will at least get a Pell Grant and I’d be very surprised not to receive other FA (American gave me 17k in institutional need-based, a Pell Grant, Stafford and Perkins loans and work-study). I haven’t gotten it either and it seems like a lot of people in the FB group are in the same boat. Maybe it’s taking longer than usual to process the forms?</p>
<p>@mmmgirl thank you for replying. GW is my top choice so I hope I get a lot of Fin Aid. My EFC is ~17,000, do you think I will qualify for substantial financial aid?</p>
<p>I have no idea because I haven’t gotten any FA yet and I don’t know firsthand how generous they are, but hopefully they’ll give you something!</p>
<p>Anyone else waiting for an acceptance package by USPS mail? GW does send them, right? Thanks.</p>
<p>yepp still waiting for an acceptance package</p>
<p>Good Luck to those who haven’t received their acceptance packages yet. You will be fine. They should be coming out this week. I remember getting mines and my mom like, “WOW! This is nice. But you still can’t go there. Too expensive.” Fortunately, I got a decent FA package.</p>
<p>For those who got the packet, what was the postmark date?</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure you can view your FA package online.</p>
<p>You can, but you need a special 8-digit ID number to log in. I have no idea where to get mine so I’m assuming it’s in the acceptance letter.</p>
<p>We still have not received acceptance package, but can still view the FA online. The 8 digit # is the one that was assigned to you at the beginning of the application process. It starts with a G.</p>
<p>The 8-digit number that you all are talking about is called the GWid. It’s an identification number that will need to access your transcripts, pay your tuition, etc.</p>
<p>yeah what’s the website?</p>
<p>I’m not at computer now …so let me try and remember how I got to the website.
Log in to your reg. admission portal
Click on application status
Below your decision there should be a link for "freshman day "
Click on that link
Click on facts and figures link
It’s one of the links on the left then. Towards the bottom, I think. It might be called Info or something like that.</p>
<p>Sorry I can’t be more specific. If you can’t find it still, let me know.</p>
<p>I was wait listed… It was my number 2, but since my top choice didn’t work out as I had hoped it’s now my number 1. So, I only have 3.5 GPA, but i go to one of the best public schools in the country. Unfortunately I think my SATs are what really brought me down I got an 1800; however, I have extensive extracurriculars from year round varsity sports to constant volunteering. FInally, I have also showed a lot of interest in the school, I visited twice and did an overnight (on election day, it was like the best night of my life). I really hope they take me off of their wait list!</p>
<p>I found the place where the financial aid should be listed and the Gwid number, but my D has no memory of a 6 digit pin.</p>
<p>Try her MMDDYY birthday?</p>
<p>So will the ID number be on emails from the admissions office or something?</p>
<p>The id number was in an email that thanked for submitting the application and requesting that she log in and verify her information using her GWID which was included as a reminder. So she must have gotten it earlier. We always logged into the activity center woth email and password, so I am confused why we are asked to use the GWID. MMDDYY wont work because it needs letters as well.</p>
<p>I found my GWID in am email after I submitted my applicate titled “Regarding you application to The George Washington University.”</p>
<p>The GWID starts with G and is followed by 8 numbers.</p>
<p>You can go here to view your financial information: [View</a> Your Financial Aid | Admitted Students | The George Washington University](<a href=“http://freshmen.admissions.gwu.edu/view-your-financial-aid-0]View”>http://freshmen.admissions.gwu.edu/view-your-financial-aid-0)</p>
<p>It has instructions on where to go from there and your pin number.</p>
