Outside of the T14 idk if I would have picked any schools over GW. Idk I really value the networking opportunities and the age old adage of “study where ya hope to practice”
I mean I know nothing is guaranteed but considering the opportunities GW provides in D.C. I think it’s feasible plus, not to Dox myself, I have an aunt that lives there so that’s some costs knocked off already
Idk the gov con program is extremely good and pays well plus the professors I’ve talked to have a ton of connections and will basically find you a job as long as you’re putting in the work and everything
Tbh I applied really late and my work experience is shit. My hard sell was having two disabled parents (one of which is a ward of the state now) and then my scores
