Did the merit aid come with the offer?
My kid got into Elliott with a perfect gpa and 35 act and everyone said they routinely Glauber large merit aid in those circumstances. Did not see it. |

Yes you do feel right to be shocked. I have GW in our safety category. |

I’m starting to realize that nothing is shocking anymore in this current admissions climate. |

Was kid in a really sought after major? I wonder if that matters. |

When this sort of thing happens, it means they might have been a bit weak in their essays. I'm assuming the extra-curriculars were decent. |

No, the gpa is a little low. It's not yield protection. |

That's what I'm thinking, too. I'm sure the kid is great. But the gpa is pretty much in the right range for GW and the scores are above range. I don't think that leads to yield protection. I'd go more with the essays. Frankly, I was starting to get worried about my kid's chances because I know she put way less time into the GW application, assuming it was an easy entry and she had so many others to focus on the same week. |
