Hey everyone, I'm thinking about applying for the GWU fly in program. Can anyone share their experiences or let me know if it's worth applying to? Any tips to make my application stand out?
Hey there! I'm glad to hear you're considering the GWU fly-in program. I know several people who have attended fly in programs, and they always spoke highly of the experience. It's a great opportunity to get a feel for the campus, meet current students, attend classes, and learn more about the unique resources and opportunities offered by GWU. It's definitely worth applying to!
As for making your application stand out, here are a few tips:
1. Show genuine interest: In your application, express why you're specifically interested in GWU, such as the programs, resources, or extracurricular opportunities that align with your passions. Research the University and be specific about what appeals to you.
2. Showcase your strengths: Highlight your accomplishments, talents, and experiences that make you a unique candidate. Focus on the spike or highly-developed specialty in your application.
3. Be authentic and personal: When writing essays or short answers on the application, don't shy away from sharing your individual experiences or the factors that have shaped who you are now. Make sure your own voice comes through in your writing.
4. Tailor your application: While it's good to showcase your achievements, make sure to emphasize the aspects that would resonate with GWU's values and academic offerings. Researching the school and reading student testimonials can help you understand what kind of qualities GWU looks for in applicants.
5. Letters of recommendation: If the fly in program requires letters of recommendation, choose teachers or mentors who can speak to your character, capabilities, and passions. Make sure your recommenders know your goals and aspirations, so they can provide specific examples.
I hope this helps, and best of luck with your application! Don't hesitate to reach out if you have more questions.
