Elliott notices are out as they promised. I got an acceptance finally....I needed this one! How'd everyone else do? Good luck! -
Never received a letter on financial aid or anything from them. This morning, I got my acceptance through the applicant web page: https://app.applyyourself.com/AYApplica ... id=GWUGRAD Login and scroll to the bottom to see the decision. And good luck.

Just a quick note on my past couple weeks that some of you might draw some hope from: I applied for Public Policy, International Affairs, and Poli Sci programs at Texas' LBJ School, Texas A&M's Bush School (home state tuition), GW's Columbia and Elliott Schools, Michigan's Ford, and Harvard's JFK. I did this in hopes of getting into GW or Harvard with the Texas school's being my fall-back plans. Turns out I wasn't eligible for UT due to my international degree. So I was never considered. A&M rejected me a couple days ago. With those two out of the running, I was feeling pretty down about my other chances. Sure enough, GW's Poli Sci program denied me last night. Down to the Elliott School (#7 in Foreign Policy rankings) and Harvard, I'd lost all hope. This morning, however, I woke to find the Elliott School said yes. Somehow a 30-something program (A&M) and fellow state school Texas said no to me, only to have the higher ranked GW say yes. I haven't heard back from Harvard or Ford yet but I'm encouraged. The moral of the story: Don't get discouraged. I thought I was done for and was already scrambling for backup plans and work applications. I'm sure plenty of people are sweating it here. But I had plenty of cause too. Don't let it get you down. Just be patient and keep your head up. Mine is now.

GW's PoliSci sent out acceptance/denial letters on the 18th (I was denied) and the Elliott School sent theirs out today (accepted). You should be able to check your status on the GW application page: https://app.applyyourself.com/AYApplica ... id=GWUGRAD Just login and scroll to the bottom of the page to click on the link. Sorry, I don't know anything about Gtown though.
