Wolcott Fellowship GWU

[wishful thinking]

Anyone else apply for the Wolcott Fellows Program?

I did... looks like they are starting to send out the notifications, even though GWU hasn't sent acceptances.

Did you get accepted??

I was selected for the fellowship, but Elliott has not sent out its acceptances yet. I guess the fellowship information is going out sooner because some of the other schools at GWU have already sent out their announcements. Did anyone else hear back?

I was denied the Wolcott Fellowship but encouraged to reapply for next year. They said they had an overwhelming number of applicants. I heard from them last week.

Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead, but this fellowship application is due today and I was planning on sitting down this evening and grinding out essays for it, but I see on the application that it asks whether you believe in a "supreme being." For an atheist like me, who would answer "no" to such a question, will they simply toss the application? Given my understanding of the freemasons, that seems a real possibility. I don't know why they'd ask it if it wasn't important to them in determining who gets the fellowships, which kind of sucks, but I'm not going to misrepresent myself.

Hello S1lent, I think it's worth a shot, although it seems like a valid concern. I was thinking of reviving the thread too because I also applied for the Wolcott fellowship on the 31st. Definitely did one essay last minute but I'm happy to have at least given it a shot.

 

Good luck! Let me know how it goes!
