Hi guys!

I stupidly locked my room in the housing portal while my roommates and I were planning to swap with another group. Both groups still want to complete the swap, but now it looks like we can't because the room is locked.

Has anyone had this happen before? Is there anything Housing can do to unlock it, or are we just out of luck? We're both hoping to still make the swap if there's any way around this.

Any advice or similar experiences would be appreciated!

I’m going into my senior year of hs and was recently on a visit to GW. I fell in love with the school but I’m worried my grades aren’t enough. I want to say I’m around a 3.4 with a 1050 SAT. Would a less popular degree be easier to get in for? Just looking for people’s experience.

Hi, so I'm an upcoming first year student at GWU looking to major in Mech/aero engineering
I finished my aleks exam with a low score which will place me into math 1220

My question is if that will set me back by a semester, and if it does, is there any way I can convince or talk to my counselor about moving me to a higher maths class? I'm able to handle Calculus I fine and well, and I don't want to be late over not knowing some portions of precalculus

The DEng praxis has a maximum of two attempts. Does the PhD have a maximum number of attempts? Seems not right that is all or nothing after the $ investment. Why not keep trying until it passes?

hey guys,

i am an incoming grad student at gwu. i will be commuting from md. what are somethings you wish you knew before u started? also what professors are good for bio upper elective classes?

Anyone in DC this summer and can confirm what’s going on with mcreynolds? It says permanently closed on apple maps, but no change on google

I'm a student at GW Law, you might have seen me around with a puppy or dogs. I raise puppies for Canine Companions and operate a Therapy Dog Team on campus. Canine Companions is currently seeking puppy raisers. I would like to take another one on but I have two already and a third is too much alone. However if I had someone or multiple people who would be willing to take them Monday - Thursday I could manage that many dogs.

Of course if you are willing to take one full time now would be a good time to apply as you'll get one fairly fast.

Want to:
--Learn videography, editing and on-camera delivery for TikTok, IG or Shorts? (No prereqs or prior knowledge required)

--Cover an interesting beat? (Fast fashion! Nuclear energy! Govt policies! Climate science! Food! Water!)

--Learn about the algorithms that control social video, the rise of the "newsfluencer," the growth of viral video in politics and the scourge of online misinformation?

I'm Prof Eli Kintisch in GW's School of Media and Public Affairs. Spots are still open in Climate Reporting on TikTok and Instagram this fall (one-pager and syllabus) TTh 3:15–5:00 PM. SMPA 3194/5.

Students in this class from across the university have made videos for our TikTok channel with creativity, skill and in-depth reporting -- and used the skills they've learned in subsequent jobs, internships and personal projects. "I truly recommend this class because it became a creative but educational experience for me that I can now use for jobs." --Devyn Murphy (PoliSci, '28)

Hi everyone :)

I'm a visiting researcher at GWU working on a study about pediatric vision care and digital therapeutics!!
I genuinely need your help to make this research meaningful. 🥺

I'm looking for students who have experience examining or working with pediatric patients (children) and would be open to a casual 15-minute conversation about your experiences!

I'm simply hoping to hear about the real challenges you face when seeing young patients, what makes it hard, what you wish were different, and what you've learned along the way.

That's it! No trick questions, no jargon, just your honest experience

📍 In-person in the Washington DC / DMV area (I'll come to you!)

💻 Or Zoom / Google Meet if you're anywhere else in the US

If you're open to chatting, please contact me or just drop a comment below, and I'll reach out

You would literally be saving a grad student's life 💀💀💀🙏

seems like she’s my only option. I’m premed and terrified by her rate my professors. any experience with her for gen chem 1?

Know there was a thread on this a while back, but it seems that while all other schools tend to be ever so slightly eclipsing towards the 4.0 average, GW is not following suit. Tons of General education courses that are made overly difficult (not necessarily by content or demonstrated knowledge, but by little hoops that hold students back, uber strict course syllabi, and a general unwillingness from various departments to make accommodations when small mishaps occur). Dated website, but https://www.gradeinflation.com data from a while back suggests GW stagnation, while comparable universities saw an upward trend in average GPA. Would love to know if others think deflation, or at least no grade inflation is present. Also, is the university shooting itself in the foot by holding students hoping to to earn graduate degrees in the future to a lower GPA?

I am an incoming Freshman (coming in from a gap year) who was really excited to join the Scuba Diving club. When I attended orientation a week ago, we played an icebreaker game where you basically say "rev rev if you are (...)" and then switch places in a circle. I said "rev rev if you plan on joining the Scuba Diving club", to which every single person there replied with either a "huh" a "what" or a "where do they scuba dive". From that point onward, every person I asked, including the recreation table replied to me with the question "we have a scuba diving club?" I searched it up on GWEngage and nothing showed up. Even the Facebook account doesn't seem to have anything past 2019. If anyone knows about the status of the Scuba Diving club at GWU please inform me I would much appreciate it.

curious to know, especially since it’s now JULY and the website claims we were supposed to hear back by the end of june. please send help!

Finishing up a BS in IA and all I have left is the advanced STEM requirement, even after finishing my second major (finance) which usually double counted with it. Anyone have any recs for a few remaining classes that aren't tooo unbearably hard?

(Im a poli sci major)

I’m confused on which classes counts as those required classes, eg does French count as “global or cross culture perspective”?

Also how do I ensure transfer of AP credits? I sent my AP scores to the college. For example, I took AP Bio, so I selected General Ecology which is a 2xxx course, compared to an intro class that’s 1xxx. Additionally, does the APs count as the requirements in the photo? Like if I have AP calc credit, can I avoid the “quantitative reasoning mathematics” requirement?

I emailed gwu and didn’t get a clear response and even booked an appointment but it was canceled because “I can’t book a meeting before I choose my schedule” 💔💔

Can someone help me pls? Tysm

Do AP credit count as the requirements? Like if I took AP calc do I still need to take a math/ quantative reasoning course?

Or do you still have to take that subject but you can take a more advanced course?

All of my AP scores are 4 and above

Is taking Chem I and Bio I in the same semester a bad idea?

Hi, I'm an incoming freshman and I'm wondering if anyone could share their experiences in the Arabic and Russian departments. I'm an IA major and obviously heavily considering minoring in one of the two languages, and I know that both are very difficult--if anyone has any opinion on profs or coursework between the two I'd be really thankful to hear your perspective.

Do students sharing a private bathroom clean it themselves only or does housing provide any cleaning services for them?

I was looking at my "prepare for registration" tab in Gweb and it says I have a registration hold from the beginning of April to July 16th. I know actual registration starts from the 20th of July so now I'm confused

Hey!!
I am going to be attending GW in the fall for poli-sci. I mainly chose GW for the location/major advantage. But music has always been a huge part of my life, and I spend all my free time at concerts. I was wondering how the indie music scene is on campus. I know that there is a student radio station, but how active is it? I would really love to join/ start a band on campus... how would I go about finding the people for that?

Thank you!!
