<p>I was just wondering how big of a role/what role a GW interview plays in the admission process</p>
<p>It is not required but it cannot hurt to do one. I didn’t do an interview and got in but I know people who did them and it certainly helps. I would say it is very rare for an interview to do anything but help you unless you really blow it in which case the interviewer may just not send anything back and it would be as if you didn’t do one.</p>
<p>well it helps in case if you want to get to know the admission office more. I did my interview last October and really was satisfied with the interview, I cant really say happy because I screwed up a little. Also, if you have important questions that you would like to ask the admission office or want them to get to know you better it is the perfect thing to do before they review the application because the interviewer is the one who is going to review tour application in most times</p>
