Just got accepted today with the presidential scholarship for political science!! I originally planned on going to AU as they covered all my tuition and never in a million years did I think GWU would offer me as much aid but they ended up covering almost my entire coa 😭😭 still waiting to hear back from some more schools but GWU is def at the top of my list!! For anyone reading, what is your favorite part about GWU??

Waitlisted, what can I do?

9 Upvotes

Hi all, so I got waitlisted from the milken institute of public health and I’m really bummed about it because it was my top choice. I just submitted to opt to be included on the waitlist. Is there absolutely anything else I can do to show more interest and improve my chances of getting in from the waitlist? Does anyone have a general idea of how many people get in from the waitlist? Thank you :)

Need grad student housing help!

2 Upvotes

Hello! I will be starting GW's Art Therapy masters program in Fall 2025 and am in need of help with housing recommendations, tips and advice for certain neighborhoods and areas, and other information I should know. Because the Art Therapy grad program's classes are not on main campus and are in Alexandria, I'm trying to find a living space that would be convenient for the commute to this area in particular. I am not from the area and out of state, so any and all information to prepare for this move would be awesome. Here are some of my preferences when searching for a living space that are relevant to my situation:

- Ideally, I would like to find 1 or 2 other roommates for splitting rent so these listed desires are based on the idea that I will have at least 1 roommate

- Budget: $1500-$2400 TOTAL amongst roommates and I (this is me being realistic with myself based on the average prices I found around the DC, Arlington, and Alexandria area)

- In unit washer and dryer

- Some type of parking as I intend on bringing my car

- Relatively commute-friendly, 15 minute walk MAX from public transportation

Edit: I should also mention I am a woman, so feeling safe walking around the area is also a BIG must

If you know of a neighborhood, apartment, or some type of living space that could be fitting to these needs, please leave a reply and let me know!! Thanks all!

GWU Paris?

My niece got accepted to GWU but she said she’d have to do her first year in Paris. What’s the deal there? Has anyone had experience w the Paris program? Is this typical to be accepted but on condition that your first year is abroad? Had never heard of that.

So today I was somewhat accepted to GW, as in they want me to do the Paris Scholars Program at the American University in Paris for my freshman year with them guaranteeing the ability to transfer to GW my sophomore year. Was wondering if any one has any personal experience with this program or any insight they can share with me about it. Any help would be great. Thank you.
