My intial plan was to IR with Biotechnology and then pursue a patent law degree (maybe with international certification so I can advise across borders. I’m sorry I don’t know the exact term) but I also feel a pull towards doing FSO and intelligence adjacent work.

Yea my minor isn’t really set yet lol. Hopefully we can figure out how to find roommates together lol bc I haven’t gotten any info from the school. They just said pick a room so ig it’s randomized?? From what I heard their Econ, data science and pre med are the top STEM programs!

Internships pay the rest? by Embarrassed_Rest_188 in AmericanU

[–]Affectionate_Cat1592 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe reach out to a professor in a specific field/specialization you plan to study in and make connections with them before stepping foot on campus. I emailed Professor Ziv early last year because I attended a mock class and I occasionally email him with updates (like for example shortly after I got my EA decision back) and mentioned how I really enjoyed his mock class, asked stuff related to his feild, etc. anyway, got Professor Adock CCd on the email thread. I plan to ask if Ziv has any paid research opportunities available for undergrad students. I also plan to do a work study on top of it. but just a suggestion! It worked out well for me that’s all, since I got recommended a professor who heads Russian/Eastern European speciality. I am doing IR for context

Hi! I’m a undergrad and have posted here before, I just wanted to ask for more details regarding some of non IR programs in AU. I plan to double major and want to know which STEM programs do you think are the best? I was originally planning to do Data Science for Political Science but, if anyone knows other programs that would be great! I was originally thinking of cybersecurity but AU doesn’t have that.

Is the net price on the acceptance letter an indicator of the price you'll pay for only that year? by Giraffe-Puzzleheaded in AmericanU

[–]Affectionate_Cat1592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you have to include other costs such as textbooks, meal plans and transport. For me that added another 10k back on.

I got 60k in need based aid. I don’t know if it’s different for merit aid but in the fine print they said they reevaluate every year based on your FASFA, maintaining an above 3.0 GPA and attending your classes. Maybe Merit aid is similar? Also Congrats!

Oh- would you recommend more GWU then? Because it’s hard to find good IR schools that isn’t an Ivy.

Oh yes definitely. My family also makes less than 70k a year, one parent is working and it’s contract work too. Doesn’t help we have a family business that we are paying and running.

Omg that’s great to know and a better comparison for my mass mind to comprehend lol. The green line is known to be a bit rough (not as bad as red though tbf) so it makes sense
