I wrote a letter of interest and sent in several updates, but never did an official letter of intent.

I never got an email from Kevin Neis, just the email asking if I was interested in a seat in the class.

I interviewed in early October, so the final decision was a long time coming!

Got a “highly likely to offer ...” email. Not going to attend GW, so withdrew my application today,
Hope one of you gets good news soon if you’re still waiting!

I just received an email asking if I would be interested in accepting an offer if one becomes available. It also asks where else I have been accepted... I think this is different than the "highly likely to be accepted" email. Does everyone on the waitlist receive this?

Who do we talk to if we want to call the admissions office about why we love GW?
See I thought about this but what do we even say. I feel like everything was in my LOI
The rockets better not get swept
They’ll win two games probably.
yeah, fair. I really want them to win tho lol.

Same
Reading into posts and estimating, it seems there hasn't been too much waitlist movement. Just on threads there has been about 7 acceptances. Reading the waitlist support thread, most schools take 20-30 of waitlists if not up to 40. All depends on how well they do with students accepting.
What I'm saying is hopefully there is a good amount of movement coming soon!

I really hope so cause GW is my dream school but based on this thread about 10 people have already been accepted off WL. Which is already way more than this time last year if you look back at old threads
I really hope this is the case as well. I also wonder if they go in order of interview? I'm assuming earlier interviews have been re-reviewed more even though they say that isn't the case.

i'm unsure lol. it's promising but i'm trying to not get my hopes up just in case haha
Congrats to everyone but this is really discouraging. I just counted 16 or 17 people who got off the waitlist on this thread alone, and there are probably many others who lurk or aren't on SDN. I must be at the bottom of the bottom tier

If you haven’t done so recently, I would send another update reaffirming your interest.
I think they will continue to take people off the WL especially those that show continued interest
I did, and that's what makes this more discouraging lol

never ended up speaking with someone but I did sent that email asking to on Friday and then was accepted the following Monday, but I doubt that has any correlation. I also sent a letter of intent a few weeks prior.

Accepted last week off the WL! Interviewed in December. So happy! GW is a dream and I love DC!!
Contact with Admissions post waitlist: Sent the update to stay on the waitlist, met with Kevin Nies in person around a week after the first alternate list webinar, submitted a LOI and had an additional LOR sent.

For those accepted off the waitlist that spoke to someone in admissions, did you reiterate your previous LOI(s) or take a different approach? Trying to figure out how to express my interest without sounding redundant.
similar approach
idk, seems like a good amount of people got off the waitlist the past two days...
Seems like nothing yesterday though
Looking forward to joining the class decided to pick GW over where i originally chose for 'plan to enroll'.
For those still on the WL--Don't lose faith. There is a lot of luck in this process, and it's out of our hands. I don't think it's as simple as showing interest. Some of us accepted did not send LOIs. I kept in touch with Admissions, mostly with questions, but definitely did not send a LOI (due to not being sure / financial aid). All I did was send a letter of interest after my interview, but before I was waitlisted. I was in shock when I came off, simply because I had dismissed the possibility and had no problem with my other acceptance. Being on the WL does NOT mean that GW won't want you after April 30
