Gwu essay prompts

You can submit certain materials, including your transcript, recommendations, and essay through the Common Application, but we also accept documents that are sent via mail and email. The GW Admissions Committee carefully reviews each applicant based on academic background, the rigor of high school coursework, and GPA.

The GW supplemental essay question is a chance to show their personality and make connections between your experiences and GW’s institutional values. Please note: The application is not complete and we cannot begin the application review until we receive all required forms.

The Georgetown application kicks off with a fun twist on the classic activity essay, which asks you to expand on an extracurricular endeavor that you care about. For starters, we’d give you basically the same advice the prompt does: focus on one of the activities “in which you have been most involved.”

To get into GWU, you’ll need to write a proper, well-formed essay in the special, George Washington writing style. Usually, it contains 250 to 500 words, depending on the prompt. This is the most crucial part of your application. Since 2015 an essay has more impact on the final result, than all other tests.
