Sat, 19 Apr 2008 09:35:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45940/last#45971 I am going to GW International and comparative law llm program this fall. Sat, 19 Apr 2008 12:42:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45940/last#45979 Congrats! When did you applied/had the notification of completeness? I'd just like to have an understanding on how long it takes to get a final decision....my file was completein early april...and I am getting anxioius... Thkx Sun, 20 Apr 2008 05:54:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45940/last#46025 I sent my applications on Feb 27th. I didn't get the notification of completness, since I applied through IIE. GW sent my admission letter on March 26th. and the deadline to accept their offer is april 30. Sun, 20 Apr 2008 10:33:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45940/last#46030 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! Mon, 21 Apr 2008 05:39:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45940/last#46068 I am heading to GW this fall. =) Mon, 21 Apr 2008 07:06:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45940/last#46070 hi Luxtax I am in the same position, except that I applied in early MARCH! So i might be slightly worse off than u...

I am a civil servant from India, and I have been admitted to LLM (Government Procurement Law) at GWU. Would like to know about other students joining this course at GWU. Sun, 04 May 2008 19:50:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45940/last#46845 for all of you who choose to go to GWU, have you got any e-mail or snail mail after sending the 500$ ??? i have send it about a month ago and nothing since :~/ Mon, 05 May 2008 06:14:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45940/last#46857 I was admitted to GW on March 24. I didn't get any e-mail regarding the deposit, but i got information about making an account on the GW Law Web Portal for the admitted students. Hope it helps! Mon, 05 May 2008 11:37:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45940/last#46868 I got the e-mail confirmation of my deposit on Apr. 29, but nothing about the Portal account thing.......and no I-20 yet. Did anybody receive an I-20 from GWU? BTW, I sent several e-mails to 3 on-campus apartments, still no replys. I've already been kinna worried. Tue, 06 May 2008 09:30:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45940/last#46911 i received the confirmation of deposit and web portal login and also I-20 notification, they're processing my I-20 , i will receive it in another 2 weeks or so.. have you guys send e-mail to igpo@law.gwu.edu? to international graduate programs office Ms.Shehernaz Joshi and Ms.Stephanie Lee are very responsive.. Tue, 06 May 2008 09:57:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45940/last#46915 Hey guys who is is in for the LLM in International Environmental this fall? Well i received my admission letter but there's still so much pending. Did any of you apply for the scholarship? I did but i wasnt successful. Ms Joshi is vey responsive i must say. Congratulations! Alls going well for you. Tue, 06 May 2008 19:55:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45940/last#46937 Hi! I am also attending GWU IP& Tech Law LLM this fall. I am wondering if any of you have a clue or a tip about housing? Thanks in advance!! Wed, 07 May 2008 11:12:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45940/last#46970 Hey the last time i was in the DC area, i didnt bother about longterm housing but i know is not cheap. I think Joshi could be of great help if you inquired. And the estimates provided by the GW are tentative? Thu, 08 May 2008 10:53:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45940/last#47052 Hi all, I have been admitted to GWU and im planning to attend, I have the same worries about housing, but heard that Arlington (accross the bridge) is pretty nice and slightly cheaper, will be looking into all that soon though. On a side note, would any of you here take University of San Diego with a Scholarship (not full) over GW? I know GW is much better (ranked 20 compared to 84) but its cheaper and a beautiful city. Your thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks Thu, 08 May 2008 11:18:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45940/last#47053 I love the idea of a Uni with partial scholarship but GW is far better in terms of quality of education. So i wouldnt take San Diego. ( I cant believe iam saying that because i needed the scholarship badly but i wasnt successful) Thu, 08 May 2008 11:37:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45940/last#47055 I know what you mean and i think ultimately you only do your Masters degree once, you do not want to waste it on an "average" university, i think GW will be my choice, but ill have to sleep on it for a couple of days, just to make sure i make the right decision. Thu, 08 May 2008 11:53:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45940/last#47056 Well goodluck and i hope you make the right decision. Mon, 12 May 2008 14:55:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45940/last#47182 Finally decided on GWU, Hope to see everyone there! Wed, 14 May 2008 15:35:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45940/last#47281 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. Thu, 15 May 2008 18:05:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45940/last#47337 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. Thu, 19 Jun 2008 16:06:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45940/last#48511 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. Sat, 05 Jul 2008 14:14:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45940/last#48906 Compared with NY Craiglist in DC there are not offers in DC craiglist. The housing service cannot help us I guess did everyone find its accomodation in DC?

Congrats for admission shayan! Wed, 09 Jul 2008 19:28:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45940/last#49014 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
