Some stereotypes about GW students are that every student is rich and super wealthy here.

they are all ridiculously loaded

There are a few ideas that have developed for what GW stands for, the most popular being "Georgetown Waitlist," alluding to the fact that most students here apply to Georgetown as their first choice but, due to laziness, insufficient grades, or "new money" status, do not get in. I've also heard the term "Jew W" used to describe the school; it's about a quarter Jewish, and these Jews are loud and proud. Many of the girls are either JAPs or WASPs, living off of daddy's credit card, wearing Juicy sweatsuits, and most recently leggings with Uggs and a dirty white t-shirt. Students are also very, very cliquey and fairly judgmental of other groups, but most are involved in a variety of extracurricular activities. Competition arises between who has a better internship and who will get their dream job on Capitol Hill post-grad. There is also a large competition between Democrats and Republicans, but most who identify with either group usually only know what their professors have told them on the subject.

They are mostly jewish

Some stereotypes include that GW is a school full of "JAPs" (Jewish American Princesses.) It is so expensive so therefore many of the students probably "paid" their way in.

The students appear to be very wealthy and self centered, and there are definitely people like that, but the school is not only comprised of that.
