I got admitted into the Int'l and Comp Law LLM program in Mid-February. I asked the Graduate Registrar about the tuition deposit, and they told me that more information will be given to us in late May/early June. I suppose it will be around $500.

I've been in the DC metro area for the last three years, and I can definitely attest to the high cost of living in the area. If you can afford it, buying in the suburbs of MD and VA is a better plan than renting in D.C.

I wouldnt advise anyone to live in the DC area. But right now that is the least of my problems. I just received the second 'no funds' information from potential sources of funding. Iam now thinking about deferring my LLM...
Iam too depressed.

Has anyone not living in the US already found an apartment? I am seriously thinking of getting an apartment in downtown (since it closer, nicer to live etc...), but its pretty expensive, the average apartment is around $1200. It would be great if someone can share their thoughts.

The housing service cannot help us

Thkx,

But I am getting somehow worried now since I received the notification on April 1st and have not heard back from the admission eversince.

Do you think that April 30 deadline is for the first rounder (of acceptance) or is it a deadline for all applications....Coz if it's the case, then...it would mean that I am not admitted....

Man this whole process makes me so nervous. I reckon that I've applied late compared to many applicants but from all my applications (4 in total)...no decision released yet.

I'd better try to remain calm and confident...I've been told that I have a good profile (6 years of experience in 2 different European countries, good uni, grades relatively ok - but after 6 years of work, I would expect that experience matters more than grades, good toefl score, good rec letters, etc...)....sorry to bother with my woes...

Congrats for admission shayan!

Hi everyone.

I just got an acceptance email today for GWU in IP. I initially applied back in Nov, but there was a long delay in getting my transcripts to them.

Anyway, I'm a domestic student living near DC (in Baltimore). I don't know what likelihood I assign my entrance at GW until I see whether they are fairly generous with their scholarship money. Right now the US legal market is so bad even for domestics that I'm not sure the full tuition price (plus one year of lost income) would be the best investment at the moment. But I am excited about the prospect!

Cheers
