So this is on the admitted students portal

Will GW Law negotiate my financial aid/merit scholarship package with me based on offers I've received at other schools?

No. All schools have different criteria for determining aid based on need and/or merit, different amounts of funds available, and varying levels of demand. Unfortunately, we are not in a position to adjust offers to admitted students based on those of other schools.

Anyone planning on negotiating scholarships?

I saw this. Was a little bummed since I would be pretty interested at a better price than my current aid offer. Also, their $3,000 seat deposit seems a little much.

Welp... Time to stick this acceptance aside and hope the rest of my cycle is poppin'!

Peeked at last year's thread and it seems like there is a form to request scholarship 'reconsideration' - so basically, they negotiate in a more formal way it looks like, and you might have to name your target number. We'll see what it looks like for us.

It's $3,000...???
And GW's reputation as a money-sucker emerges already, before matriculation lolol

Hm, will have to be on the lookout for that then!

Got it. This sounds reasonable then. I'm sure they have an idea of what options certain number sets have available to them anyways.

Congrats to all those who got in! I went complete 12/12 bc strangely, GW was the only school that found issue with my transcript and it took two weeks for the resend to process. Here's hoping!

I went UR 12/5 I believe. Looks like the trend is to send out decisions on Thursdays. Also, everyone last Thursday got an email around 2:50pm.

Hoping they just say that to deter applicants from trying. Hard to go there with more money from higher ranked schools with lower COL..

[Kaylasvi]

Went UR 12/8
Accepted 12/15 with scholly!
My first acceptance to a school I'm really into. So excited!
