<p>I have also heard about the importance of showing interest to GW (referring to previous post); however, what constitutes "showing interest?" Does this include only visits/interviews? Clearly, I'm a novice.</p>
<p>college fairs (stop by the GW booth and fill out an interest card)
join the mailing list (online)
visit campus (both FB and MV)
online chats (however worthless the may be)
if GW comes to your school, make sure to sit in on the information session</p>
<p>ultimately, any contact you have with GW (whether it be with alumni reps, adcoms, etc) is logged in their computer system - the more hits in your file, the greater your apparent interest.</p>
