Campus, City, and Virtual Visits

Virtual Sessions

We are excited to offer prospective students the chance to learn more about GW Law through a mix of live and recorded online sessions with admissions representatives, faculty, and current students.

Some of the sessions will be recorded and then posted. The other events will be live over Zoom, including drop-in “Ask Me Anything” events where a member of our admissions team will be taking your admissions questions over video chat, as well as discussions about student life with our Student Ambassadors where they will take your questions live. We look forward to connecting with you! The recorded sessions will be released and posted according to the schedule below, and Zoom links to the live sessions will be posted as the dates approach.

Please join members of the GW Law admissions team over Zoom to ask us anything that is on your mind. We look forward to virtually meeting you! Please note that registration is required. These sessions are for prospective students only. We will have separate Ask Me Anything sessions for waitlisted students later in the application cycle.
