<p>How are the internships?</p>
<p>Are there a lot of companies recruiting on campus?</p>
<p>How hard is it to get into grad school (for law) after getting a poly sci degree at GW?</p>
<p>And overall, what makes GW stand out from other colleges (UCLA and UC Berkeley in particular).</p>
<p>Any input would be helpful. Thanks!</p>
<p>A good friend of mine from sleep away camp just graduated from GW w\ a BA in Political Sciencehes going for a Masters at Johns Hopkins. I know another GW student who is graduating this year she is going to Georgetown Law.<br>
From what I've heard, corporations and competitive law/grad schools are impressed with GW's academics in the humanities
... but they are even more impressed with the "GW mentality"--they like to recruit fast paced, "city minded" individuals who have had exposure to high profile internships, organizations and influential individuals. I don't think any other school in the nation can top GW when it comes to dynamic and vibrant political life--I mean, the freaking sports teams run around the white house during practice! Moreover, GWs political Science department is in the top 20 undergrad, and top 5 on the graduate level, and the professors are generally world renouned in their respective fields. I took a class at GW last summer and my professor was a political advisor to Clintonmade his lessons a whole lot more interesting haha
..the location really does contribute to the education and prestige; interesting and distinguished faculty and vertaully unlimited recourses. I've heard from many people that in Politics and INternational Affairs what matters most is who you know and your affiliations--GW is the perfect place to get your foot in the door of the international political arena</p>
<p>EricGallagher1's got the argument down pat.</p>
