pyrhuss Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Decisions are out! Check your online application!
pyrhuss Posted March 17, 2014 Author Posted March 17, 2014 No mention of funding in my letter. Maybe fellowship info is coming through snail mail? It also says I have until May 1 to accept the offer, which seems to be the deadline for people without fellowships according to their website
paladin_av Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Accepted as well. I also got the May 1st deadline. But the email does make it sound as funding decisions may come through snail mail...
Northernlightgradcafe Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Accepted, also no word on funding yet. Not a single word or link about funding in that email. Congrats everyone who got in！ Good luck with all the rest! I thought I would get rejected by GW because I made a terrible mistake in the SOP, I said "I want to get into SAIS" lol........But then I sent them an email immediately to submit a new SOP, before the deadline. I guess that worked!
JPeds Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Accepted as well. I also got the May 1st deadline. But the email does make it sound as funding decisions may come through snail mail... Same here
pyrhuss Posted March 18, 2014 Author Posted March 18, 2014 Anyone got a different deadline, April 15?
bjorntsui Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Got May 1st as well. I guess we'll know for sure about funding once it arrives by physical mail. Well glad I got accepted even though I spelled the school's name wrong in my SOP. Hehe.
xenophonics Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 My understanding was that funding decisions were supposed to trail admissions by a few days, so I'm not too worried. (Don't ask me where I heard that, because I can't remember =\). Also: got in!
Bunsen Honeydew Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Same as above...aid continues to be the voldemort of gwu gwualum4mpp 1
marwanslm Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) YAY! Got in, my first DC school admission. My program is MA in International Affairs. I'm probably going. Also, nothing on funding... Edited March 18, 2014 by marwanslm
Bunsen Honeydew Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 @marwanslm- dude-- you applied to so many schools. I do not envy the massive amount of work you must have put into your applications. Congrats on getting into GWU. gwualum4mpp 1
pyrhuss Posted March 18, 2014 Author Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) Just talked to the admissions office: They are still finalizing their funding decisions and hope to get them out "very soon", definitely before April 1st (which I asked for because I have other offer deadlines pending that day). So fingers crossed! Edited March 18, 2014 by pyrhuss Ruella76 1
marwanslm Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 @marwanslm- dude-- you applied to so many schools. I do not envy the massive amount of work you must have put into your applications. Congrats on getting into GWU. Thanks. Congrats too! You are right...It was a nightmare. I guess I should've been more confident about myself at the beginning.
Ruella76 Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Just talked to the admissions office: They are still finalizing their funding decisions and hope to get them out "very soon", definitely before April 1st (which I asked for because I have other offer deadlines pending that day). So fingers crossed! I am crossing my fingers...but I just found this on their website: To accept the offer, you have to "Submit a $500 non-refundable tuition deposit to the Elliott School Office of Graduate Admissions via credit card, electronic bank transfer, check, or money order. The deadline to respond is April 15 if you were awarded an Elliott School fellowship or May 1 if you were not offered a fellowship." I got the May 1 deadline so....bah Don't want to sound presumptuous but I met with the admissions director several months ago and he told me that based on my profile I would have a good chance for fellowships. Not good enough perhaps. A bit bummed because I liked their whole scheme about being able to work full time while studying since they have all their classes in the evening. Ah well. But pyrrhus it looks like you're golden!
pyrhuss Posted March 19, 2014 Author Posted March 19, 2014 i would not jump to conclusions too quickly. I also got the May 1 deadline, but I think they might apply this deadline to everyone this year given that they had a couple of hickups throughout the admissions process and even extended their original deadline for fellowship considerations by two weeks.
Ruella76 Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Woops, I misinterpreted your post asking if anyone had the April 15 deadline to mean that you had the April 15 deadline. So we've all got the May 1 deadline, which I think you're right might be because GW is behind after their deadline extension. Must learn to be a bit more patient aha...
WinterSolstice Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Anyone hear anything about funding yet? Trying to come to a final decision and it seems GW is taking a while!
pyrhuss Posted March 20, 2014 Author Posted March 20, 2014 I just got a welcoming email from the MAIA director, but still no word on funding.
WinterSolstice Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Same. The IDEV director sent me a nice email selling the program, which is nice, but I need more information before I start looking at committing
WinterSolstice Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Nothing yet on my end. Is it possible that it's being sent via snail mail with the info packets? Because I've heard literally nothing so far. My guess is things could be held up because they extended the deadline for fellowship/aid consideration, but so far no word.
