I submitted Jan 27th and have started getting back some answers. Stats are UGPA: 3.0 LSAT: 165. I've also been out of school for six years and working for what it's worth.
I received a rejection from NYU a week ago but today I received an acceptance email from GWU with a scholarship offer for $105K. According to the LSAC calculator I should have had a less than 25% chance of even getting in. Do you think that a scholarship offer might indicate that they believe higher ranked schools may accept me as well? I might just be hoping here but I'm curious!

They love military applicants!
I think it's probably an indication that they either really like your softs: army, diversity, WE etc. or they were really impressed by your story/writing in your statements. Either way since you kept those more or less the same I would expect other schools to feel the same! So definitely good news!
I think it's hard to say, but generally, yes…if a school offers a lot of money, you can assume they think higher ranked schools will accept you (with lower money offers)
Congrats!!! Keep us updated. I'm especially interested because our UGPAs are the same.
Congrats!
Yes @ my LGBTQ fam thriving! Congrats!
Thanks! I also applied to USC, UCLA, Georgetown, and Columbia. We'll see how it goes!
Hooray! Good job!

I did not. I kept my personal statement and diversity statement the same for all my schools. My personal statement focused on my evolving learning style from being homeschooled on a farm in Texas through the authoritarian learning environment of the Army.
My diversity statement focused on the challenges of serving in the military under Don't Ask, Don't Tell as a gay man and why it motivates me to pursue equality through the law.
Sounds really captivating! Sounds like your life experiences would definitely help enrich a diverse student community, I hope all your remaining schools feel the same way!

BTW I only applied to reach schools. I decided I wouldn't be interested in attending school if I wasn't able to get into one that might enable me to have national employment options.

Did you do a Why GWU? If you don't feel like you showed that you were an especially good fit there, and they admitted you with a lot of money (congrats!!! BTW) then I could see a more competitive school, particularly if you show that you're a good fit, giving you good news. Fingers crossed for ya!
that's awesome, congrats!!!

I,too, am curious if OP wrote a "Why GWU".
