The GWU diploma does carry a certain amount of weight in certain circles. I will
say that internship opportunities and placements are phenomenal, but in all
honesty this is much more a result of the city than the school. There are few GW
students who don't hold internships with either non-profits, think tanks,
policy/lobbying firms or government offices at some point in their careers at the
school. I cannot yet speak as to the strength of GW's career placement, as I have
not yet graduated myself, but it seems to me that most GW students plan to go
into either some sort of government/policy work or on to law/grad school. I'm
also not entirely certain of the statistics on acceptance rates of GW students to
law/grad schools of choice, but as I understand it, these rates are actually
quite satisfactory.
I'd say if you're a poltical junkie looking to get your start in government or
politics, GW would be a pretty fantastic place to start: biology, English, and
engineering majors might consider looking elsewhere.
