<p>I understand that admission to the honors program is based mainly on the honors essay. Even so, does anyone know admission statistics for honors admittees. I read that they only accept a handful (~130), but I was curious to know more about that “handful”. Thanks!</p>
<p>I have been watching this youtube video while waiting for a reply. It scares me a little bit.</p>

<p>Prada socks, LOL! </p>
<p>We come from a small town, and one of my son’s friends is attending. He loves it, and is definitely not the rich fashion plate type. I think it’s an ideal school for kids who live and breathe politics. The student who hosted our visitor’s day group seemed typical of the students there: really bright, energetic, high achieving and enthusiastic.</p>
<p>Whew, thanks Moonmaid! GWU is my top choice, and I really have a passion for politics as well, but I heard reports of students who resemble Jason Sudekis’ and Kirsten Wiig’s characters from SNL:</p>

<p>Of course, I’m still praying I get in, so I would never say anything bad about certain people in the student body. xD But I’m sure if I attend, I’ll find great people there.</p>
<p>The rich students with their designer everything only stand-out because they have designer everything. GW has a really diverse student body, so there shouldn’t be any worry about not fitting in. Take time to know people because they may surprise you.</p>
<p>You know, I once worked at an investment bank with a lot of Ivy League grads who had also gone to prep school and had wealthy families. There I was, a SUNY grad who had put myself thru college, the first in my mom’s family to go to college. But you know what? I got promoted while the insufferable and rich Harvard kid got let go. Some of my friends there were very rich, others were do-it-yourselfers like me. Nice folks are nice folks, and I’m sure you’ll find plenty at GWU, regardless of income.</p>
<p>I’m actually curious about the honors admission, since my son applied for that too. I think he has a good chance, since they kept sending him literature encouraging him to apply for it. I don’t think they’d waste the postage if they didn’t think he was a strong candidate.</p>

<p>Honors Admission comes with your Admision packet. You get a separate folder (with George on the front) and a letter inside. They said they only admitted about 10% of the applicants around 120 people, I believe.</p>
<p>thank you very much</p>
<p>I received it in the packet today! My SAT scores were not outstanding but I had a lot of very strong extracurriculars and I really liked my essay.</p>
