[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think GMU is a really good school for those areas, as well as a bargain for in-state.  The only problem with GMU is that kids in northern, VA do not want to go there b/c it is too close and b/c they have a high acceptance rate (so they do not consider it selective enough).  So the school kind of has a stigma (fair/unfair) amongst high schools students in NOVA.  However, the things that matter, like the program, cost and career placement rates, are excellent.  [/quote]

+1. They had an admitted student day last Sunday. One of the presenters said that the median salary for all of GMU grads is 72K. We talked a few professors in the CS and CE departments. They didn't have numbers but said that a lot of kids get 95K+ salaries. Multiple offers. The CE prof. said that a few kids have job offers after their sophomore or junior year internships and switch to part-time. So, yeah. Getting internships and jobs won't be a problem. The dept. of engineering building is also fairly new and very nice. Of course, DC does not want to go there because [b]'no one goes to GMU[/b]' and would rather go to VCU or JMU. To be fair, both are great schools but CS/CE is far better at GMU than those schools. [/quote]

Does your school post the list of how many kids last year went to X, Y and Z university?  Our FCPS high school does (Madison).  In 2022, 39 graduates went on to GMU.  In 2023, 41 graduates went on to GMU.

Soooooo.... maybe it seems like "no one" goes to GMU --- but actually, GMU is the 3rd MOST attended school from Madison after VT and NVCC (which switch positions from year to year).

There are clearly plenty of people from each FCPS high school attending GMU, they just don't crow about it as much as some of the other schools.  [/quote]
