<p>How are the internships?</p>

<p>Are there a lot of companies recruiting on campus?</p>

<p>How hard is it to get into grad school (for law) after getting a poly sci degree at GW?</p>

<p>And overall, what makes GW stand out from other colleges (UCLA and UC Berkeley in particular).</p>

<p>Any input would be helpful. Thanks!</p>

<p>A good friend of mine from sleep away camp just graduated from GW w\ a BA in Political Science—he’s going for a Masters at Johns Hopkins. I know another GW student who is graduating this year –she is going to Georgetown Law.<br>
From what I’ve heard, corporations and competitive law/grad schools are impressed with GW’s academics in the humanities……… but they are even more impressed with the “GW mentality”–they like to recruit fast paced, “city minded” individuals who have had exposure to high profile internships, organizations and influential individuals. I don’t think any other school in the nation can top GW when it comes to dynamic and vibrant political life–I mean, the freaking sports teams run around the white house during practice! Moreover, GW’s political Science department is in the top 20 undergrad, and top 5 on the graduate level, and the professors are generally world renouned in their respective fields. I took a class at GW last summer and my professor was a political advisor to Clinton—made his lessons a whole lot more interesting haha ……the location really does contribute to the education and prestige; interesting and distinguished faculty and vertaully unlimited recourses. I’ve heard from many people that in Politics and INternational Affairs what matters most is who you know and your affiliations–GW is the perfect place to get your foot in the door of the international political arena</p>
