Who/What is Mervyn?

Who/What is Mervyn?

A department store. Apparently they are only on the west coast.

Some other west-coastisms:

Hellman's = Best Food's
Hardee's = Carl's Jr.
In n' Out = better than White Castle

I have heard definitely more than last year (which was very little), but when I called and asked recently they said they won't really know until after May 15th.

Good luck, all!

Anyone know the numbers for this year? # accepted? # on waitlist?

 

[Waiting112]

13 more days until May 15th!

BUMP


at least, according to sdn, a few people were accepted last year shortly before may 15. so, here's to hoping something really good might happen this week! 👍

god, i'm dying to get in. i feel like i'm so close. the suspense!


anyway, yeah, good luck to everyone.

 

[Vizsla]

so will all the acceptances off the waitlist come by phone call then? thats pretty exciting...

 

[Flyfisher]

Wow, I'm pretty excited to be getting close to waitlist movement time.

It seems like there is a high priority and a normal waitlist. I'm on the normal waitlist, so I guess we will see.

I'm reeling from a recente state school rejection, so I'm interested to see whats going to happen with the waitlists.

 

[LUBDUBB]

GO GWU WAITLIST!!!

We'll have more movement this year, cuz i think they put more on the waitlist and accepted less applicants outright (overbooking of the class last year most likely led to conservativism). Anywho, lets all be positive, I'm dying to get into GW (its also my undergrad school), hope I get some luvvvvv 😍 . Best of luck to you all.

 

[waitman192]

Glad to see this thread resurrected!

I even have my phone on "Vibrate then Ring" while at work just in case I am dumb enough to not realize the vibration in my pocket as my phone. (I could take that down so many different roads, but I'll just leave it at that)

It's hard to believe that May 15th is only 6 days, 12 hours and 30 minutes away (but who's counting) and now that I hear there's a chance to get in before then? Woot woot! My heart's beating faster than it ever has before.

Good luck everyone

FYI guys, I just dropped my acceptance. Good luck and hopefully one of you will get my spot! It was a hard decision...

 

[mphthenmd]

food lover,
where did you decide on?

 

[iceman0017]

Here's to hoping that we don't have to wait that much beyond May 15.....

 

[foodlover]

food lover,
where did you decide on?

U Miami. They gave me more financial aid than GW did, plus I really loved the school. But surprisingly, I actually got some grant money from GW -- I had heard they don't give anything really but loans, so if you guys get in, I think there is definitely a chance to get some free money from GW. Good luck!

Thank you! 🙂

Im really sorry to hear about UMass Flyfisher. Im on the "normal waitlist"...this sucks. Im guessing us normal waitlisters will only begin hearing back mid-end of June?...and thanks foodlover!

Yeah, we'll see. thanks about UMASS, i was just really excited about it because i would be close to friends, parents etc. and it is cheap obviously.

If I don't hear from GW i'll be going to LA for osteopathic school. Could be worse, atleast the weather will be nice.

Does GWU have a ranked waitlist? As well, do they tell you where your place is on the waitlist?

GW seems to have two waitlists: One is "High Priority" and states that these students will be the first to come off the waitlist, the other is the "Normal" waitlists and Im guessing students will be taken off this list as soon as they go through the High Priority list. Then again last yr there were some people who came off the Normal list before the High priority list was exhausted so who knows...

 

[iceman0017]

Flyfisher: whoa, i am in the same boat as you. good luck to you!

 

[Vizsla]

bumping for the hell of it...

hey, yeah, i was at the "top of the alternate list." i think that was the exact specification on my letter. i interviewed back in early september, so it's been a long time. feels great to have some closure, finally! again, i'm keeping my fingers for all you guys.

Congrats buddy!! I just saw your thread in the generic WL thread, i would seriously do anything to get in to GW.

 

[Vizsla]

Thanks everyone!!!!!!!!!!! I am so ecstatic right now. I just spent the last few hours at a bar with my friends. I haven't paid for a thing all night!!!

It still hasn't set in, but I feel like it will when I'm at work at 8 am tomorrow morning.

I still don't believe it's true.

Can I be in the "WE" too?? I'm going to be 26 in june and coming up on my 3rd application cycle - unless one of my 3 WL's come thru. I'm really really hoping GWU be the one.
