Also received what seems to be $5k/semester! Wording of the letter is confusing, though

That's a better idea! Good luck on GW. You should get that today--I got my email at 9:45 EST this morning

I've been checking my email about 6,000 times a day. It's getting obsessive.

From the website: "Our target date to publish all decision letters in ApplyYourself is on or before April 1." Ughhhhh the waiting

Thanks! I was 17 when I started, as my birthday is in October. Definitely looking forward to learning from everyone around me, not just professors. Since I won't be 21 at the start of the semester I figure I can make lots of friends as a DD for the bars

I'm 20. Will be 20 when the Fall 2015 semester starts. For a while my age made me feel a little bit nervous about applying, especially when I saw things like 26 years old being the average age of admitted students. Age is nothing but a number, though. Even though I'm definitely lacking experience in some aspects, I've also got a lot of transferrable skills in research and language. I've also got the benefit of still being in "school mode" since I'm not taking a gap year after undergrad.

Just got my e-mail today!
