<p>GW has a rep for being a place for stuck up kids, and at $45k a year I tend to think it's true, is it? Is it just a little thing that gets blown out of proportion or really the norm? Do you think the people are pretentious, like looking down on people that don't have money?</p>
<p>I'm just curious. I'm not getting so much as a penny in scholarships or financial aid, but I don't what that to mean anything.</p>
<p>I go to GW and people are pretty cool here. I'm on a full-ride, and come from a low-income family. 40% of students here are on aid, so not everyone has the ability to be stuck-up. Most of the people are nice and don't flaunt their wealth, but like any private university, there's a handful of prep-school fraternity jerks.</p>
<p>GW...if u dont mind sharing your stats, what were they? i want to know what kind of stats you need to get a full ride.</p>
<p>GPA: 4.0
SAT: 1520
Rank: 2/don't remember
URM: Latino from The Bronx
okay EC's</p>
<p>wow. so i'm pretty much screwed for that. but do you like it there? I'm a URM (black female) & when i visited ; i saw a few faces of color, but not many. Do you feel comfortable? How do you like DC? Any advice for freshman?</p>
<p>GW seems diverse to me. Trust me, people are pretty liberal here, and there's plenty of Jewish people, so practically everyone is a minority in some way. Here's something from collegeboard.com n GWU: </p>
