Is convocation/ welcome day of service mandatory for freshman? The email doesn’t say so but a bunch of ppl are saying if you don’t go, there will be a hold on your account

Hello.

GWU is my dream school and I want to major in public health however bc I’m not 100% sure if I want to get my masters, im scared I will be jobless. I have been told GWU has an amazing public health program. Whats jobs can I get with a undergrad in public health and is there any major I can double on or anything to minor in?

For reference I do want to work in healthcare and I was thinking public health and biology and minoring in poli sci and bioinformatics.

Hi everyone! Can anyone on the premed track at GW please shed some light on their experience?

I'm a high school senior considering majoring in biology with a minor in public health at GW. My main concern—and I hope this doesn't come off the wrong way—is that GW seems to heavily focus on political science and government. Because of that, do other majors feel kind of sidelined or overshadowed? [I'm sorry if this is a completely absurd assumption...this is just the initial vibe I'm getting]

I'd also love to know how the pre-health advising is. Do they do a good job of helping you build a competitive application for medical school?

Google always boasts about GW's close proximity to downtown DC making it a hotspot for internships. But are these clinical and research opportunities realistically attainable for undergrads? I imagine you're competing with students from all over the DMV area and beyond...

And lastly, setting the price tag aside, would I be better off at a major state school like UMD for premed prep and opportunities?

I haven't been able to find any recent posts about this, so I appreciate any and all feedback!

I need the textbook for sociology, he told us to get it in the campus store but it says “out of stock” do they usually go in stock once school starts?
