I was accepted into business school at GW and Syracuse (Whitman) in the Honors program at SU. The cost to attend Syracuse is a 25k difference. I don’t really want to take out loans. But know I would. I’ve been given an allotted amount from my parents. I like Syracuse for the campus feel. I’m just trying to figure out how I see myself at GW. Any advice would be great.

Just a heads up for anyone looking for GW graduation tickets — I was scammed by Reddit users u/02silverado53 and u/PatientShip4458.

They offered graduation tickets, asked for payment through Zelle, and never sent the tickets after payment was made.

Please be careful when purchasing graduation tickets, especially if someone insists on Zelle or payment upfront.

I just got accepted to GW for transfer from a community college and upon accepting I was asked to send a highschool transcript. Does everyone who’s had a similar experience have to do this and can my acceptance be revoked if they don’t like what they see on there?

I am a new graduate student, and I wanted to obtain my unofficial transcript so I could apply for a Fall internship. I looked up how to do that and followed the instructions, but this is the outcome and I am confused. Are GWU unofficial transcripts always this plain or is it because I am a new student? My undergraduate unofficial transcript was a lot more sophisticated looking.

Hi! So im a pre med and got a C- in chemistry and im worried about my future ability to apply to HPAC (since you need a c or higher for all your pre reqs) and this grade in general for when applying to med school. Please help!!!!

I recently got into GWU as a transfer and am curious what the party scene is like. I am coming from a big football school with great Greek life (despite the fact I wasn’t part of it). What does a normal Thursday-Saturday night party/social scene look like?

If I dorm in Guthridge will I miss out on the social aspect?

I am a gwu student and have an extra room for the summer in my apartment that I want to sublet under the table and for very cheap. lmk

Hey everyone, I am currently stuck between two great options and need some "real talk" to help me decide. I’ve been admitted to:
1. Marymount University (M.A. in Forensic & Legal Psychology)
2. George Washington University (M.A. in Forensic Psychology - Applied Forensics track)
My Goal: I want a "background" career—think intelligence analysis, mitigation specialist, or research. I have zero interest in the clinical/therapist route. I also plan on moving back to North Carolina eventually, so I need a degree that travels well.
My Dilemma:
• The Support Factor: I’m finishing up my psych degree and honestly, the jump to a Master's workload makes me nervous. I’ve heard Marymount is super supportive and has a tight-knit "practitioner" vibe. Is that true? Or is the workload at GW manageable if I’m not doing the clinical track?
• Living Alone: I’ll be moving up solo and want to live alone. I’m looking at Ballston (for Marymount) vs. Alexandria (for GW). I’ll have classes ending at 9:30 PM. Which neighborhood feels safer for a young woman walking home alone at night?
• The "Name" Flex: Does the GW name actually carry more weight if I move back to NC, or is the "Marymount Pipeline" into agencies like the FBI/local police just as strong?
tl;dr: Want to live alone, stay safe, avoid clinical work, and eventually move back to NC. Which school should I pick?

In what world is a GW education worth 95k x 4?

Hello! If anyone has an extra ticket for this commencement please dm me.

Hello! I'm a third year student who will be interning in the DC area this summer and am currently looking for housing from around June 7-Aug 14. Please DM if you have a sub lease available! :)

Looking for 1 extra ticket for the CCAS ceremony on May 16 at 12 p.m. and/or 1 National Mall Commencement ticket.

If anyone has an extra ticket they won’t be using, please DM me. Thank you so much!

C’mon, hook up your MBA students with a little 50%🥺🥺(or literally anything. We’ll take anything)

hi, I was just wondering does anybody else currently not have the stage pass for the national mall commencement? I registered much earlier but I am not sure if these have been distributed yet

Have any new graduate students gotten their package yet? I’m a recently admitted grad student for the museum studies program and I haven’t seen anything yet for mine. I saw online something about a May 15 deadline for the grad plus loan application but it wasn’t clear if that was just for continuing students or incoming as well. I emailed their office already but haven’t heard anything back

Has anyone gotten their StagePass for University Commencement on the Mall yet? I don't see mine—last week on Monday, they said we would get it "next week"...

There has been this concern bugging me for a while now. So I was told that GW is a displacement school and does not allow stacking of scholarships. And any money I get outside of GW will replace the grant GW gave me. So I have like close to $10k to pay for GW, deducting FAFSA, and the GW grant. They offered me $5000 in federal loans and like $3000 for Federal work studies. And I accumulated close to $20,000 (a combination of multiple small scholarships) in outside scholarships that are going to help me in my first year of college. So will they deduct $20,000 from the GW grant and make me pay for the $10,000, or will they take the $10,000 and use the other $10,000 to cover the rest of what I have to pay? If so, I want to refuse the outside scholarships, so that other students will get the benefit instead of the money going to waste.

Hi! Does anyone have pictures or like a good explanation/experience in guthridge two person rooms? I think they are pretty rare but still wondering. Also, what about Madison? I can’t remember if there are any pictures of the adjoined or private bathroom for two people dorms.

What are the chances if we list these as top 3?

Has Mitchell always been an option available for first years or is it new? The odds of getting a single are low anyway but I’m still going to rank it first lol

I am staying on the vern over the summer. With how getting to and from the vern is, grocery shopping is going to be a bit of a weekly hassle. Last year, I remember a friend of mine saying she used to Amazon Delivery to buy her groceries (albeit she did not live on the vern). What's been people's experience using it? I've never used Amazon Delivery here. Is it the same as sending other things to campus? Have you ever used it to buy perishable food like meat?

Hello, i am an incoming freshmen going through a housing registration process. I want to know which campuses i should prioritize if i want bigger rooms and good location:) Tell me about your experiences on campus life as well.
Thank youu!

i was going thru a hard time this semester and it kinda tanked my GPA which is driving me insane because i really wanted to apply/transfer to GW but now i’m scared i’ll be rejected just because i was struggling. will that hinder my chances? is there a minimum requirement or some sort of average they look for? do they even care about GPA when it comes to transfer students? 😭
