I received one today after sending a request to admissions on Friday. They need to know your lsac number, LSAT and GPA.

GW says the wait time is 8-12 weeks, but last year they started sending out acceptances on October 31st.

Did anybody apply binding early decision (not presidential merit scholarship)? Does anybody know people who were admitted through it and what were their stats?

Thanks very much for this info. Really helpful, just sent my info to the committee today. If you are comfortable sharing, would you mind PM'ing me your LSAT/GPA?

I'm having trouble logging into the status checker. Good or bad sign?

You can email the admissions office if you're concerned. They are very friendly, helpful, and quick to respond.

I received a waitlist email this morning which was unexpected. In all previous years they have accepted 100% of people with numbers similar to mine.

Also, ED or regular?

Apparently a decision was made on my application according to status checker but no email yet - says up to three business days to receive it.

Checking in. Interesting how they don't give you a place to add an addendum. I don't want to mess around with the optional essay area, it seems pretty clear they only want the 300 statement there. I guess they expect any additional info to be included in the PS

dinged via email. Status check changed and received the email around an hour later.

Rejected

splitterfromhell · Post by **splitterfromhell** » Tue Nov 17, 2015 1:01 pm

So a 168, 3.13 got waitlisted and a 163, 3.4 got dinged. Could be a tough cycle at GW.

Reading this and freaking out. No decision made yet but I've been in review for three weeks
