Home, Sweet, Colonials Home


Today is May 1st - the BIG decision day in admissions – also known as National Candidates Reply Date.  After today the Class of 2016 will be set in stone and this is very exciting!  My daughter has signed up for CI (see you at CI#2), housing is in the works, she has her car decal, my husband has (almost) completed his collection of GW wear, and I have my GW Mom keychain. Life is good!

So much has happened since I last wrote – we released our last round of decisions, we saw over 3000 visitors to campus for April Visit Days for Admitted Students, nearly 800 students attended one of our Admitted Student Receptions across the US and abroad, and we began to introduce GW to rising high school seniors! I promise to keep this brief plus I have a plane to catch to Memphis for the NACAC College Fair tonight and tomorrow.

I hope you've been keeping up with GW Admissions on Facebook or Twitter - my latest favorite is the GW Admissions Wobble " Flash Mob" video!  And be sure to go to the GW Class of 2016 page on Facebook - lots & lots of good stuff there!  It's almost overwhelming - in a good way. 

For the soon-to-be high school graduates, this year must feel like an eternity! I know it does for my daughter - and I don't mean Senioritis has set in. She just can't wait to get to GW. Now if anyone has Senioritis it is me - I am sick of high school these days!
