Anyone have any insights on GW releasing decisions this week?

I've heard with GW it's likely to get off the pre-II hold. Does anyone know how likely it is?

Impossible to know but it seems like they put everyone on the pre II hold then reject. If you have survived a few R waves, its a good sign!

Yep, I submitted the secondary like literally last week and just got it. Not sure what it means, but from other forums, it looks like many people get it. Some get interviews, some don't, so I wouldn't look too much into it.

I think it's just a waitlist.

I didn't get an email but I just logged into my portal and saw a message about being an alternate and that a final decision has yet to be made. Does this mean waitlist?

spoke to 8 M1s and they all said themselves + “many” of their peers were originally waitlisted so it’s certainly not a soft R

Anyone else having trouble finding GW on fafsa? I cannot find the E00197 code that they claim is associated with GW on the website. There are some other GW’s listed on the FASFA form but with different codes, does anyone know which code Im supposed to use to file?

I reached out to GW admissions and they said the financial aid office is aware of the problem and is working on solving it. You have the correct code.

Has anyone gotten info on how to confirm spot on waitlist? Their FAQs said we'd hear by the end of Feb. GW is my top choice, so I'm praying I didn't miss anything.
