<p>another stupid question cant seem to figure out where to send physical to si there a certain form ?</p>
<p>down to earth. There is no stupid question. I had the same type of questions before starting in the past. No form is necessary. A physical is enough, with the doctor’s notes.
The only form you need is the inmunization report. I hope it helps, good luck</p>
<p>I’m a senior that’s going to be applying to GW for 2010. I’m gonna be majoring in International Relations but I’ve only recently decided upon this as my major and I don’t have any internships that I got to do over the summer. Would this effect my chances getting in?</p>
<p>did not affect my childs admission though she had a ton of leadership in her HS</p>
<p>if this question has been asked already, feel free to ignore it. i’m an incoming freshman and ive been hearing a lot about the greek life at GWU-- mostly that, although its not that large, it definitely makes a mark on campus. i was wondering if anyone has any specific info on the sororities… like what are their individual reputations/which ones are most active on campus? thanks for any help!</p>
<p>Sorry if this has been asked, but I just returned from my campus tour and realized they didn’t address something I am curious about. Can students have cars on campus?</p>
<p>can you give me any information on the Elliott school for IR. How does it match up with SFS at Gtown. are internships good? hows student life at elliott?</p>
<p>I have some free time, so I thought I’d address a couple of these…</p>
<p>4bcd3f: You aren’t allowed to have a car on campus freshman year, but you really, really don’t need one at all. I think I knew only 2 people that had cars my senior year. The metro can get you pretty much anywhere you need to go in the city, and you can take the Chinatown/Megabus to Philadelphia or New York for super cheap as well. Parking is crazy expensive in the city anyway.</p>
<p>Murphy: I don’t know anything about Georgetown’s program, so I can’t address that. In my opinion though the Elliot school at GW offers pretty much anything you would need for an IR program. We are just a few blocks from the State Department, World Bank, and IMF, and there are countless other internships available at think tanks, embassies, and other organizations. Also, Elliot School students are integrated into the rest of the GW community, so there is no “student life” unique to it; you’ll have classes, live with, and interact with students from other schools all the time.</p>
<p>thanks for the information… it helps alot to have people answering questions like that</p>
<p>Thanks a lot. That’s a disappointment because while I know I wouldn’t really need one while in the city, I live a distance that is too far for someone to just quickly come get me but close enough I wouldn’t want to have to take the train and also too close to fly for trips home.</p>
<p>I was wondering about sat subject tests. I think my stats are all good, but I don’t think my subject test scores are up to par. I just retook them Saturday, but I don’t know. I’d love to go the Elliott School, but I wonder the influence this will have on my acception. I’m applying ED.</p>

<p>Also, I was wondering about financial aid for ED 1 applicants. We make maybe $30,000 a year (my mom is currently unemployed) and I’m wondering if I could get good merit and need based aid based on my stats and need.</p>
<p>Natalie_sd, I think you have a very good chance of being admitted (especially if you are applying ED) based on the stats you gave here.
As for financial aid-I was in roughly the same boat as you, though I applied RD and GW was my safety school (I’m currently an undergrad there). I think you’ll probably get a good award (I’m pretty much here on a full ride with both merit and need-based scholarships) but you’ll almost certainly still have to cough up a decent amount of cash each semester. I’m not sure what you’ll get in terms of merit aid but GW is pretty generous with need based aid (my family income is closer to $50,000 but we still have a very low EFC) and if you take a work-study job, which you will certainly be eligible for based on your stats, you’ll earn a decent amount of money. Be prepared to take out a Stafford Loan (because federal loans will be part of your package).
That said, I know that universities tend to offer better financial packages to the students it really wants to grab. From your background, I would say that you stand a very good chance at being one of those students. If your SAT retakes boost your scores, you’ll be in great shape.
Hope that helped!</p>
<p>Why is George Washington University ( and Boston University which is not even rank) political science program rank so low for graduae school according to usnews.com. The ideal is usually if the graduate program is great then as well is the undergraduate. I’ve only been hearing raved remarks of GWU great poli sci etc… makes me question the difference in the ranking when applying it for undergraduates.</p>
<p>i just have a general question. I’m applying ED, and i want to study business…eventually. right now, my biggest concern is just getting into GW. here are my stats:

<p>do i have a better shot applying to their columbian college of arts and sciences? or should i stick with applying to their school of business</p>
<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I just checked the board for the first time in a while, and I saw there have been a lot of questions! I’d be happy to answer any questions about social life at GW, academic offerings, living in DC, etc., but please keep in mind that I am no longer at the school, so my answers may be “outdated.” Also I can’t really “chance” people either; I seriously have no clue what the admissions standards are these days!</p>
<p>I hope those of you who started at GW this fall are having a great time, and I encourage you all to help those who are going through the application process now!</p>
<p>I really want to major in international relations so…</p>
<p>how competitive is it to apply to the Elliott School of International Relations for undergraduate?</p>
<p>Are you able to take classes at the Columbian School of Arts and Sciences if you go to Elliott?</p>
<p>Would it be weird for me to go to Elliott if i want to go to Law school after?</p>
<p>Are the different schools separate from each other or is it easy to meet others from the College if you go to Elliott?</p>
<p>cngo:</p>
<p>how competitive is it to apply to the Elliott School of International Relations for undergraduate?
Perhaps slightly more competitive than applying to the school in general, but really not THAT much different than the general acceptance rate</p>
<p>Are you able to take classes at the Columbian School of Arts and Sciences if you go to Elliott?
Not only are you able to, but you have to in order to fulfill your requirements</p>
<p>Would it be weird for me to go to Elliott if i want to go to Law school after?
No. Law schools don’t care what you major in.</p>
<p>Are the different schools separate from each other or is it easy to meet others from the College if you go to Elliott?
There is no physical separation of the schools. You will live with, take classes with, and be in the same general areas with people from every school. The only strictly Elliot-only class you will have first year is your Intro to International Affairs class.</p>
<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I’m currently a freshman in the elliott school and am happy to answer any questions you might have.</p>
<p>Re: admission to college vs. overall school</p>
<p>I talked with two admission officers about this. One said, competition is for each college. The other said there is no such thing: the competition is for admission into the WHOLE GWU.</p>
<p>Both of them are my region’s regional admission officers. However, I had to add that the first one (who said competition is for each college) were very new, and gave me some really stupid and flagrantly wrong answers to a couple of other questions I had: I found out he was flat wrong when I check later other data published by GWU itself. The other one has been with GWU much longer, so I tend to give credibility to her answer.</p>
<p>Is there anybody who actually TALKED with the admission officers about this other than I?</p>
