Congratulations to all that were accepted already! :yes:I know the application deadline is 10/1, but I received my email last week. My prereqs were finished August 15th. I am excited and at the same time nervous about leaving work and starting school full-time. I heard that there will be about 55-60 students in our cohort.
I love Virginia/DC and the fact the GWU is a great school makes it even more surreal. I am awaiting the orientation date, but hopefully will visit before then. I am from the NYC area and look forward to meeting everyone!! I was actually also accepted to a school upstate NY, (12 month program starting in Jan as well) but the winter months are brutal!!
Did anyone look into housing yet? I've heard that VA/DC/MD traffic is among the top worst in the country. Let's get to know one another. Best of Luck to everyone!
I do not recall receiving any verification email. I think the first email I received said my application was sent to the admissions committee (Sept 10) and 2 weeks later I received an acceptance email. Hope it helps and good luck everybody!

I'm on the same page! Choosing between GWU and NYU, which is too expensive to me... I already chose GWU over some other schools offering me acceptance but now it got tough & I'm stressing a little;)
I considered NYU but did not apply due to the cost, I did not want to waste any time or recommendation letters. The cost is at least 90K! I'm from NY and that is absurd! Join the FB group for GWU ABSN, hopefully we all can get better acquainted!
Hey tb2013, I am in the same situation as you. I really want to go to Georgetown, but I don't think I will just because is soooo expensive. Are you going to the admitted student day? I think that if I go I will completely fall in love with the program and end up choosing Georgetown (and drown myself in debt), so I might not attend! I really want Georgetown, but is just too much money.
Expense and location are usually the major factors when deciding. I've been to IAD vicinity quite a few times but have yet to visit the VA campus. It is a very quiet and wooded area, which I can appreciate coming from the city. I've been to a few restaurants in the area but this was years ago. I chose GWU over 3 other schools because of the class size, prestigious name, cost, and location.
I'm accepted! Does deposit makes us responsible to accually go to program, I haven't heard of my 1st choice school yet, but don't wanna miss out on school I got accepted in
No, that's why a majority of schools list it as non-refundable. I've paid 3 deposits before I decided where to go..ugh! Decisions decisions...Congratulations.
Hello everybody, yesterday I decided to take the little trip (I live like 30 min away) to finally visit the campus and is BEAUTIFUL out there. It is really quiet and wooded like rica708 said, I loved it. I am going tomorrow to an information session which seems like is going to be awesome because we also get a tour of the simulation labs, etc I am super excited. Is anyone else going?? Also Rica I cannot find the group on facebook. Any help??
Also, I saw lots of apartments and condos near the area for those of you looking for a place to move. I have no idea about prices, I just saw them on the way there. Good Luck everyone!!!

Hey I am going to info session too! I also have appointment with the apt building very close to campus... It's around 1200$, please let me know guys if it's too expensive, I'm from NY-NJ area where that's kind of normal but my gf in west VA pays like 700$ a month so not sure..

That makes me feel better, I just want to do the right choice,& already turned down 4 schools... didn't find the fb page
Realdream I think that's about the right price. Nova is expensive and that's why people get roommates. I live in the Southern area of Nova (which is supposed to be cheaper) and pay 1300$ for a 2br. I was actually told by my realtor that real state in the Ashburn-Leesburg area is (now) the most expensive in Nova (it used to be fairfax). I used to live in Norfolk VA and my apartment was 650$ a month so at first I was shocked about the prices in the area.
