Damn that’s impressive

#

Good luck

chrome steeple
#

thank you!! good luck to you guys too:)

ornate ibex
#

May I ask, which essay did you choose to do?

chrome steeple
#

i did the one where it asks if you have the power to change something in the world or course of history what would it be

#

i basically connected it to my personal life cuz that issue that i talked abt happened to me and affected me and also sparked my interest in healthcare

#

are u applying regular decision or ed II?

ornate ibex
#

RD

ornate ibex
chrome steeple
#

yeah same it was also a historical event in my country but it affected my family and i so i just talked abt it then i talked abt how solving the issue would help the future of the world lol

#

don’t worry tho i’m pretty sure you’ll be fine as long as it’s good it doesn’t have to be super personal but in my circumstance i related it in a good way not like a sob story 😭

#

jst make sure ur not “sobbing” to them

zealous portal
#

My essay was not personal in any sense and was steeped in cliches 😭

#

I know it doesn’t have to be personal but it just feels like it was bad like what was I thinking writing that

sterile sierra
#

here

#

if u have any questions feel free to dm

Guys I have a question, I applied RD way back so I could apply for their BA/MD program, but I don’t think I submitted their optional essay and I’m freaking out, since RD apps aren’t dude till Jan, even if I submitted mine a long time ago, would they still allow me to submit a supplemental through their portal even if I’ve already applied RD and submitted the app on common app

glad sluice
#

Considering applying as a CS major but I'm trying to find some more student reviews for the school

#

If anyone's had experience studying CS at GWU, please let me know your experience

sterile sierra
#

ive taken a few cs courses

glad sluice
#

Hello

glad sluice
bleak socket
#

lmao why r the gwu essays the worst i've written

#

how much do they look at them if my stats r above 75th% 😭

ornate ibex
#

Not risking that with GWU though

bleak socket
#

ngl the topic js makes me uncomfortable cus i didnt wanna do the history essay 💀 so i wrote ab debates i had w my racist teacher !

#

😭 wtvrrr..

ornate ibex
bleak socket
#

no yea idk he js says slurs and makes me uncomfortable help

#

best topic i could come up w

ornate ibex
#

That sounds like a good topic though so it’s fine

#

I wrote about it a pretty specific historical event in my home country

#

Except I had no idea how to do the part about how I’d change the past

glad sluice
#

So today's a good day to finish your first draft on the essay, right?

tight dew
#

ik its been a while since you wrote this msg

#

but stats/math is the program im in and its pretty good

#

the stats rankings are suprisingly high for gw

#

the math professors are also great

#

but fair warning i would not come to dc for stem unless youre set on going into a govt job with your stem skills

glad sluice
#

and you tell me this the day after apps are due...

nah jk, have you personally taken a CS course at the school and how was it if so (or if any friends did, what did they think?)

tight dew
#

its just not very well known for this type of field

#

the python classes and lower level classes seem good

glad sluice
tight dew
# glad sluice valid

if youre going to do cs at gw id say its worth it if you want to work for the feds

#

gw is federal feeder or a feeder to biz programs

#

but generally id advise against it

#

data science is more common at gw than cs tbh

steady ice
#

Plz upvote AU on megathreads if applying

#
