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!
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.
Thank you) will see u on info session, not like I'm going to recognize you lol
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??
The tour seems pretty informative. Yes, the area is beautiful!
I created this topic because our school's class size is relatively smaller than the other ABSN programs out there. It was difficult for me to find other admitted and prospective students. Although this topic will remain open and monitored, I just created the Facebook group for admitted students so that we can communicate more effectively: George Washington (GWU) ABSN Spring 2014.
Type 'George Washington University' in the search field to select the group. The admin for this site erased the previous FB hyperlinks for the group. See you guys there!

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!
