Students Applying for Spring 2010 Transfer

<p>@garom3bt</p>

<p>I got my packet from the admissions office. I’d recommend you do the same</p>

<p>Hey All,</p>

<p>I got an email that gives the name and number of my academic advisor at GW, even though I havent formally signed the letter of intent w/ my deposit $.</p>

<p>Did anyone else get a similar email?</p>

<p>Here is a copy of the email:</p>

<p>December 3, 2009</p>

<p>Congratulations on your acceptance to the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences (CCAS) at The George Washington University. We in the Columbian College Undergraduate Studies Office look forward to providing you with the academic guidance you need to be successful.

Still nothing yet. I called the admissions office and asked if I can stop by and get my admissions packet, but the rep. said it should be here by today, but I received nothing.
I just realized that the school you applied and I applied are different. I applied to GWSB (School of Business). I will be near Foggy Bottom on monday anyway, so I am thinking about visiting the office on monday. I am so desperate.</p>

<p>I had to politely insist on picking up my packet</p>

<p>hello everyone!</p>

<p>recently i received my acceptance package/financial aid information.
i was just wondering, regarding financial aid: do any spring transfer students receive grants? if we did not receive a grant this semester, does that mean we will not receive one for subsequent semesters?</p>
