The second school in the series of the School of the Week is the George Washington University. One of the oldest schools in the country and the largest school in the District of Columbia, this school is definitely on my radar. Although it is the furthest south, location wise, this school actually is in a prime location. Located in the heart of the nation's capital, this school also has a very attractive scholarship and financial assistance program. According to US News & World Report, the school ranks No. 53 in the country (out of 100) and also landed a score of 53%. While statistics label GWU more selective in admittance, as of Fall 2008, the school boasted an incredible 37.4% acceptance rate. Tuition and fees totaled $39,945 and the school had an enrollment of almost 6,000 undergraduates. This school certainly garners my attention for the week and I will absolutely research it a little more closely.
This blog was originally created in the fall of 2009 to assist me in the planning stages and preparation of transitioning to a four year university in Washington, D.C. Years have passed, months have gone, seasons have come and reappeared, days have been counted and 2011 is here. Within just a few short weeks, I will find out which university I will be attending in the fall of this year. Oh how quickly time flies by.
