DCLivin Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Anybody know if additional funding is ever freed up at the Elliott School once the enrollment deadline passes?  I know people in some of the other GW graduate programs have received more funding around May, but I'm curious if that's the case at Elliott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
av260987 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Anyone else using the 'reach out to current Elliott students' event on Monday? Â I am. Only for me, it will be insanely early. Something like 5 or 6 am. So I hope I can make the most of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miskina Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 For me it's gonna be late. It will start at midnight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneaky Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I went to the Trachtenberg school's admitted student day, and I was definitely impressed. Â The students and professors I met were friendly, and I got a clearer sense of their curriculum, career services, and so on. Â The biggest factor they touted was the program's flexibility - MPP and MPA students can easily switch their courseload each semester, so the vast majority of students work full or part-time while taking classes. Â That wasn't something I was initially looking for in a MPP program, but I can easily see the benefits of this setup. Â Did anyone else attend? Â If anyone has any questions about the event I'd be happy to take a stab at answering them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopefulodi Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I did attend and I loved it. I did talk to different directors of programs and students from the other schools I was admitted to. But this was different, the people were lovely and really make you want to be apart of their team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
av260987 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Guys, Â I've finally decided on Elliott after much deliberation and I'm quite happy about my decision. Â But I want to connect with my future classmates, as I'm sure many do. I've asked the Elliott school office to make a Facebook group for us admitted students, class of 2015. If any of you know of a group or page that already exists, please let me know. Â Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miskina Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 What's your program? Mine is International Affairs. I would also be happy to join the facebook group if there's one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midd2005 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I'm attending as well and am excited. I don't think there is a Facebook group and I though I saw gwu say on their blog that they weren't going to start one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midd2005 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Oh, and I'll be in int affairs as well. I've registered and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miskina Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Too bad they aren't going to create a facebook group! Are you already living in D.C? I hope I won't spend too much time looking for a place in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midd2005 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Nope, I don't live in dc yet. Trying to figure that bit of logistics out now. It's a bit nerve wracking. Miskina, when are you heading for dc? I think there is an orientation on the 19th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I won't spend too much time looking for a place in August. Miskina, you're from France right? My first language is French so seeing this, I had to stop lol. I don't get to see a lot of people on this forum who might speak french. I will be attending GWU Trachtenberg this Fall (moving to D.C in August too).
