This is probably a silly question, but to attempt to access the admitted student portal, when you register, you use your LSAC # correct? Does that include the "L" before the numbers?

Not looking good for me then :(

I assume its pretty likely that if you can't access the portal that you've been denied/ waitlisted?

I was able to create an account and set a username but when I log in it returns a "microsoft sharepoint error." Does anyone know how long it takes to get the email from GW after your status says decision made?

I'm in a similar spot, decision made yesterday and I can't register. Pretty good stats for Gwu (17x, 3.5x) so I thought I'd be in. We'll see I guess!

Anyone able to figure out scholarship stuff through the portal? Hoping for some $$.

Same, that error pops up for me too. I thought it was just my work computer, but I guess not.
Does anyone know when we should expect an email and/or letter in the mail ?

I also get the error, though I was able to make a username... worried. Nothing left to do but wait now.

For what it's worth, I think it's a fair bet that you're in if you can access the portal.

From the financial overview part of the portal-

"Congratulations! We are proud that you are considering our school for your legal studies."

I doubt that would be there if I were on the WL.

Just got accepted with 40K per year in scholarships. This is going to be a hard choice to pass up! :D

I just got an acceptance email but no mention of a scholarship. Does that mean I'm not getting one?
