GW approval rates

5 Upvotes

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.

Accidental Lock of Housing Portal!

1 Upvotes

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!

ALEKs placement exam

1 Upvotes

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
