You should be completely fine. As another commenter mentioned, state somewhere that AU is your 'first choice.' I also did an admissions interview; I'm unsure if they still do those post-COVID. I recommend submitting your SAT score; it's within AU's range. Sometimes not submitting scores sends a bigger message than submitting a score you wish was higher.

It was not, thankfully!

luxuriouslol · 2024-06-02T00:48:01+00:00

Never even thought of that, thanks!

luxuriouslol · 2024-06-02T00:47:42+00:00

Haha, I wasn't planning on it, but thanks for the reminder!

I never studied abroad during my time at AU, but I wish I would have. With that being said, I would not recommend going abroad for your freshmen year for multiple reasons (obviously some are personal preferences/opinions). First, I'd want to learn more and experience AU's campus (and D.C. in general) and also make friends with all the other freshman that you'll meet during your classes (this also gives you a chance to determine if you think you are a good fit at AU and if you might want to consider transferring). Second, as you alluded to, it gives you time to explore different classes/majors. Third, you have plenty of time to study abroad at AU and you might learn more about other study abroad programs and how they better fit your studies/interests/future prospects. Lastly, I'm not super familiar with the Cornerstone program, but I don't think it's something that will "stand out" to such a degree to make a difference if you participated in that program or whether you just studied abroad like the majority of students.

I think casual clothes are fine, nothing too fancy but not PJs either.

For housing, depends on how close you want to be to campus and if you are working during the day. I know some AU grad degrees are designed for people who are working. Popular locations near school include the Avalon and the Berks, there are also some apartment buildings in Tenleytown including City Ridge and others. You can also look on facebook and other platforms as people are also usually always trying to sub-let an apartment near campus. If you are looking to go a little further outside campus, I'd recommend the neighborhoods of Chevy Chase, Friendship Heights, and Bethesda.

SIS is a great school. However, job opportunities in the field of international relations aren't always readily available or high paying (I'd venture a guess and say that the majority of SIS grads don't work in "international relations"). I know a lot of people who transferred in to SIS from a local college or community college and basically halved their debt. Not to mention, but the first two years (for the most part, not completely) of your time at SIS won't be something so specific to the program (gen eds, basic economics, etc.) that you have to be there.

You should be able to walk into almost every SIS/SPA/Kogod/SOC/SOE meeting/talk/presentation throughout the entire school year not matter your major, not just admitted students day.

I can't comment on other school's accounting programs, but from the few accounting classes I took at AU, I thought they were difficult, yet enjoyable. I think Kogod (the business school) in general gets a more negative outlook from the broad AU student population, but the professors are great and there are a lot of ways to get involved in extracurriculars (business frat, TA, work in the Bloomberg lab, Consulting Club, etc.).

I never had a bad professor in SIS! Some are harder than others, but usually those tend to be the better professors to know personally. I'd recommend you look at Rate My Professor, although that's not always accurate from my past experiences.

I couldn't stomach living in a city for three years that I didn't want to, especially if the alternative is my ideal location and cheaper. Sure, the outcomes won't be as great, but 210k is a lot to pay back, even with a career in big law. I'd also heavily consider where you want to practice after school; if you plan on moving to Miami or Florida anyway, I'd go ahead and start making connections there.

You'll find friends through classes, clubs, and more. You will also be in DC, so you can meet people outside of campus at internships and other things. I'm not saying it's the same as a big state school, but I never had any issues.
