Q: What is the level of difficulty at George Washington University?

It's not impossible, but it's really difficult. Academics are only as good as you make them. Outside of class, professors are usually available, but you'll have to make an effort to meet with them. Students are competitive in general, however it varies by class and department.

Q: What are your admissions requirements?

The Office of Admissions thoroughly examines each applicant's academic history, high school curriculum rigour, and GPA. Essays, letters of recommendation, and extracurricular activities are all taken into account by admissions officers. Most applicants do not have to submit their standardised test scores to GW.

Q: Is there a minimum SAT/ACT score or GPA for admission to GW?

For the most part, most applicants do not have to take the GW test. When reviewing each applicant, the university uses a holistic approach. They have no minimum GPA or SAT/ACT requirements for those who prefer to submit standardised test scores. Admission to GW, on the other hand, is competitive, and admitted students are often among the best academic students in their high school graduating class.

About the University

History, Affiliations and Rankings

Reverend Luther Rice, Obadiah B. Brown, Spencer H. Cone, and Enoch Reynolds (all Baptist pastors) set the wheels in motion for the District's first college in 1819. These men acquired the finances needed to buy land in the nation's capital, petitioned Congress for a charter, and began the process of forming a college. Columbian University was renamed The George Washington University by Congress in 1904. University President Charles H. Stockton provided leadership, reforming the university in 1911 to cut costs and generate revenue by selling property. The Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, the regional accrediting agency, has granted George Washington University accreditation. The Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area (CUWMA), the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities (NAICU), Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU), and the Southeastern Universities Research Association all have academic affiliations with the university (SURA). University secured the ranking of #355 in QS World University Rankings. U.S. News and World Report ranked the University at #63 in National Universities (tie), #33 in Best Colleges for Veterans (tie) and #113 in Best Value Schools.
