    Thoughts on George Washington University?

    Does anyone have any last minute opinions about this school?

    I think I might pick it.

    What other offers do you have?

    Did you receiving any funding.

    They seem like a decent choice if you want to go work at a policy institute or aim high and go for WB or IMF. But it seems their academic placements are less than desirable. At least in the US.

    I personally would consider GWU, but I got into BU and that pretty much sealed it because its a better program and they offer funding in years 2-5. From what I hear funding is hard to come by at all at GWU.

    Since money isn't an issue. It might be a great fit depending on what you want to do in life.

    Has anyone ever received funding from this school??

    I think many more people would consider going if they had more funding.

    TA/Fellowship/Tuition Waiver??

    UCSB is the other main contender.

    Syracuse maybe, if they ever send out decisions.

    I had the same problem with Syracuse. I've been assuming rejection since late March. I even tried to contact numerous people with no response.

    AFAIK, during last few years they used to fund three people per year. One of them with fellowship.
