Did anyone make a group for GWU?

Okay, thanks for the reply. I was not required to make a deposit (yet anyway), so that's not really what I am worried about.

My situation is this: I was accepted to one university out of the four I applied to. I was put on the waitlist for the other three universities (all very well-ranked programs that most people would be happy to accept an offer from). I wanted to secure a spot before the April 15th deadline to the one school that actually offered me a spot because I don't think it's likely that I will come off a waitlist, let alone get an offer before April 15th. So, I accepted the one offer I received. My question is this: if I happen to be offered a spot by one of the other 3 universities and I want to go there, would I be able to accept? And how would I let the other university know of my change? I know that this would be very poor form, but this is only a hypothetical. Realistically, there is only one program of those three that I would really want to attend over the one I accepted.

I am wondering the same thing as someone who has been waitlisted at 3 schools and accepted to only 1. Can I accept their offer and change my decision later if I come off of one of the waitlists? I know it's not best form, but is it possible? My only acceptance isn't my first choice and I would really love to go to one of the other schools.

I heard back a couple weeks ago. Wait-listed.

I'm also waiting on TC. They told me they expect to send out decisions mid-late March. We should hear back very soon!

I'm coming from an outside background and was accepted to GWU, wait-listed at Indiana and UT Austin. Waiting on one more decision. I was worried I would get rejected everywhere, but I have no outright rejections so far and even one acceptance! I think you should be more optimistic (like I should have been at the beginning of this process). The only reason I didn't apply to more places is because my background isn't CSD and I didn't find many schools that had options for students like me. Stats for reference: 3.87 GPA undergrad (my overall and major GPAs are essentially the same), research experience because my program in Linguistics required a thesis for capstone, studied abroad 1 year as part of a language minor, expressed interest in bilingual certification where it was available. Average GRE scores. My recommendation letters were written by professors that knew me well, one was my language professor and oversaw my thesis research. Also have a minor in TESOL. Currently work in early childhood ed. and have a lot of teaching experience in other types of classrooms. If you don't get in this round, I would suggest getting observation hours clocked asap. I wanted to apply to Michigan State (undergrad university and hometown) but they don't take people who need leveling courses unfortunately. Anyway, the head of that department actually took time to talk to me about options since I explained my situation to him and he suggested going to Master Clinician's network to get some observation hours. You can do it all online, which is nice if you can't manage to get any done in person.
