<p>Does GWU track student interest? For example if I'm on the mailing list, visit several times, etc. does GWU take this into some consideration?</p>
<p>Some schools do some don't.</p>
<p>yes, they take interest into consideration.</p>
<p>interest is perhaps more important to GW than most other schools. On part 1 of the application, it asks if you have visited Washington DC and/or GW before, and to list times and dates. Showing interest definitely helps; one of the key aspects of the GW application is a 500 word essay on "why GW."</p>
<p>Yes yes, it is important, but I think his question is whether or not they keep actual records for every time one officially visits (tours). That, I'm not so sure about.</p>
<p>No, I really don't think they keep track of whether you came or not, and even if they do, I don't think admission counselors will look that information up when viewing your application. They ask you whether you visited (and I think they ask when too), but the campus is pretty much part of DC, so many people "visit" unofficially. I visited, but they have no record of that.</p>
