Baryon Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I just chekced the website and found an acceptance to the Masters in International Science and Tech. policy; however there was no mention or reference to any funding or financial aid. Does this mean that they'd send that info separately or that I simply didn't get a scholarship? It seems that the latter is true because everyone in the results page show financial info along with the acceptance....but I'm not sure. I had thought that colleges mentioned something on scholarships (even if it were a no). Anybody else in a similar situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornell07 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I am deeply confused. My admissions decision says: Thank you for your application to the Elliott School of International Affairs. At this time, we have still not received all of your required application materials. To see which materials we have not received, please log in to your ApplyYourself application. To be considered for the fall 2009 entering class, we encourage you to complete your application as soon as possible. And yet, the ApplyYourself system says that my application has been complete as of early/mid February. Huh!? So, angry phone call later this morning, eh?

I'm pretty sure, given the kinds of letters people got yesterday, that it means no aid. boo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My admissions decision says: And yet, the ApplyYourself system says that my application has been complete as of early/mid February. Huh!? So, angry phone call later this morning, eh? Yeah, not cool. I had so much trouble with GW. They lost my transcript, and somehow I got two logons and ended up with 2 applications, neither of which was totally complete (some recommenders on one, but not on others) so I ended up submitting both (yes and paying twice!). I'd definitely say an angry phone call is in order. Sorry about that, hopefully you can get it straightened out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRboundgrad Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 For what it's worth ... I received an email yesterday indicating I would receive funding. Yet, there is no mention of funding in the award letter I found on the website this morning. Just a rather long text that talks about the program, school and location.

Yet, there is no mention of funding is in the award letter I found on the website this morning. Just a rather long text that talks about the program, school and location. Well since I didn't get an e-mail indicating funding yesterday I'm not holding my breath for it, but thanks for letting us know! Maybe there's still hope for the rest of us. Congrats on the admission and funding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRboundgrad Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 firefly85, I like the optimism re: SAIS in your signature. Today is supposed to be the day. I'm in DC, so maybe I will get it in the mail tomorrow. Deep breath in ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, angry phone call later this morning, eh? *wraps fingers on table* No one is picking up the phone... So, benefit of the doubt: they meant to check the box "admitted with huge funding package but instead someone erroneously clicked "app incomplete", right?

zourah Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 congrats all accepted people.. could you do a favor and share your stats and WE's for those of us who'll apply in coming years?? Not a bad idea, but ideally, we should set up a thread where people can post their info and all their accept/reject schools together once everything is in, no?

Cornell07 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Long story made short, It seems there was an issue with processing my application, but, because this situation was brough to the adcom's attention by me, they will look at my file and decide today. This processing problem may have disqualified me for funding, but we shall see. If there are any GW admissions people reading this thread, I will say that while I am displeased by this situation, I appreciate that the person who I was able to reach is attempting to resolve it promptly.

Snowden12 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 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.

wanderlust Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I applied for the part time MA program to Elliott and received an email of admission and funding yesterday. Any alumni present ? I would like to know if its possible to switch concentrations around in these programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcgal Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Heard back from GW today and I got in to Elliot School. Already committed to SIPA though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornell07 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 GW continues to fumble my decision. Blerg. When is the admitted students day? I will be in DC for the SIS admitted students day (4/13) and the SAIS admitted students day (4/15) and I hope very much that Elliot's day is around that time.

IRboundgrad Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Got the official mailer today. Had the same funding info from Elliott that was listed in the March 20 email. No mention of the special University Graduate Grant from the university that was alluded to in a March 4 email. Any chance of us getting word on that before we have to make a decision April 20?

wanderlust Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 So I just received an email back from admissions confirming that my %6k merit fellowship is only applicable for one year. Any of you in the same situation ? Any idea if second year funding is unreliable in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zourah Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Wow. I hadn't gotten any emails regarding fellowship considerations and assumed that meant no money - and then the admit package arrived yesterday. $17k out of the blue clear sky, after I'd already started to write Elliott off... ...anyone else get surprises in the mail?

Cornell07 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Hot damn! GW got off its collective butt, admitted that my application has been complete for about a month and a half (contrary to what it's original decision letter had said), and admitted me! Come on funding...pretty please... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
