Just attended the Admitted Students Weekend from GWU, wonderful event and great people! Have met a lot of interesting potential future classmates from a wide range of backgrounds: self-business owner, veteran, language teacher, energy expert, socialogist, accountant, hotel manager ... you name it!
Several key points to highlight:
1. GWU has revamped the program and in Fall 2014 it will be launching a new curriculum that reduces the core courses from about 70% of the program to 51% of the program. So more electives to choose and more flexibilities on concentrations! Great stuff!
2. GWU has up to 12 credits to choose outside of school of business, and up to 6 credits to choose from DC Consortium schools such as Georgetown, AU and Maryland. Definitely more than any other similar programs allow.
3. Career Center Dean shared with us the latest data on job placement rate and average starting salary, amazingly already at least 1 or 2 got offers from consulting firms reported $190,000 starting salary, mouth dropping, right?!
Whoever also attended the event, please share more of your feelings and please also update us about your decision on matriculation, as the April 2nd deposit deadline is approaching!
