Just got II from GWU... Could use some help

[enzymaniac]

So I just received my first II from GW today. Curious to know if anyone has interviewed there and knows what the process is like and what I should expect.

Also, does anyone have any recommendations for which airport to fly into? What would be the most convenient way to get to the campus (public transportation or uber)? Anyone know of a good/cheap place to stay for 2 days while I'm there? Thanks!

Have you posted to the school-specific thread and/or called the university to ask these questions?

I would ask about the student host program! I stayed in Alexandria with a host, and it was so much fun!

Most people fly into the Reagan airport.

And I would make sure to stay somewhere you can access the train! It stops directly outside Ross Hall where you interview, it couldn't be closer!

Good luck! Now go read my post on guide to interviews!

Do the student host program.

Do fly into DCA.

Do NOT fly into BWI.

PLEASE understand that this is a standard tour -> Student interview -> Faculty Interview school (though student and facutly interview spot may be swapped).

Nothing special here, just ace the interview.

Check the interview feedback on SDN too!

Also some good links for interview prep:

The school specific threads are a great resource. Look into the prior year threads too, as they usually have some useful bits of information as well.
