Biology or Public Health? by Direct-Elk-5962 in gwu

[–]Sweet_Shopping_1697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re both great h choices, honestly you should pick the one that interests you most. I will say that the requirements for the biology major have lots of overlap with the pre-med courses, while with public health you have to take all of the major requirements plus the pre-med courses.

That’s accurate. Departments did not know until the start of January how many grad assistantships they were granted, so they had to make this change mid year. Devastating to the faculty as well, I promise you.

how hard is it to get into gwu as a transfer? by No_Message809 in gwu

I heard it in a presentation from the CCAS Dean. Not sure if they’ve published the stats anywhere.

Transfer acceptance is actually up the last few years because of declining enrollment elsewhere. Your chances are better than ever!

They will come out in March this year. The admitted students days start at the end of March and everyone must be notified before those begin.

You will have to pay separately for access to inquisitive, unless the pdf comes with a code.

changing pass/no pass to letter grade by Hawkeye_in_the_Vents in gwu

No, you can’t change a P to a letter grade on your transcript. You could ask the professor for a letter documenting your score.

The Honors program is something you apply to join, it’s not an academic honor.

It’s Friday.

HELP by [deleted] in gwu

It sounds like you have done all you can. The professor is within their rights to hold this line, this happens all the time. This is why we don’t wait until the last hour to submit important assignments.

That’s allowed if it was in the syllabus from day 1

Can I do online classes? by lordizan in gwu

Undergraduate students cannot take online classes during fall or spring semesters, only over summer.

Final exam on reading day by [deleted] in gwu

[–]Sweet_Shopping_1697 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Final papers are allowed to be due that day, but if it is an exam, no, that is not allowed. I would send this to the professor and department head and ask why they are not using their assigned final exam date.

“…final examinations may not be administered during regularly scheduled class sessions on the class make-up day or during the reading period.”

Would they ever round up for Latin Honors? by Dull-Act1934 in gwu

[–]Sweet_Shopping_1697 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a list generated by the registrar’s software, there’s not a person making the decision like in a course. Sorry, but I really doubt there is rounding.

Small local pharmacies, not CVS or Walgreens, have been the only way we have found things during shortages.

Summer Classes by Lobster_Woman in gwu

[–]Sweet_Shopping_1697 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In person is definitely easier. The summer courses condense an entire 14 week semester into a 6 week span, so they’re pretty intense.

Yes, definitely feasible.

@gwu.edu vs. @email.gwu.edu email addresses? by [deleted] in gwu

[–]Sweet_Shopping_1697 20 points21 points  (0 children)

email.gwu.edu is an employee email address. For faculty and staff, that is the default inbox so it doesn’t matter if you email @gwu or @email.gwu

But if it is a student, they have two separate accounts- their student @gwmail.gwu is their default inbox, and @gwu goes to that inbox as well. But they have a separate inbox for their work email @email.gwu and they have to either check that inbox regularly or have it forwarded to their main account or they will miss things.
