<p>Because that six minutes could determine your future path in life</p>
<p>How? Name one way that a Georgetown degree opens up a different path in life from a degree at any other similar, competitive school. </p>
<p>I've been going here for two years, and overall, it's pretty good. The location is great, just like it is at George Washington. The professors are okay, though like all colleges, there are some truly awful/egotistical ones. The biggest downside is that a lot of people want to be President and act all preppy and wealthy, which is extremely annoying. But you are completely wrong if you think that going here changes your whole life -- what's important is WHAT you do once you're here. Your GPA, your LSAT/MCAT/GMAT, your activities, etc -- that's what will shape your graduate school or future job or whatever. </p>
<p>VAZ</p>
<p>Accepted :D</p>
<p>International Applicant =)</p>
<p>accepted from nj :) good luck everyone!</p>
<p>Vaz, there's nothing wrong with feeling a certain attachment to a particular school. And while I agree that frequent obsessing over things like admission to that particular college is a bit much, there's nothing wrong with obsessing for a weekend. All of us have worked hard to get to this moment, so let us cope as desired.</p>
<p>does anyone think there's a chance that I could get my letter tomorrow if I live in socal?</p>
<p>i wouldn't hold my breath shapeofhome...but eh.. you never know...</p>
<p>Also, if anyone cares, I was deferred when I applied EA. I got in RD despite them saying ~15% of deferred applicants get in. Just keep your grades up and write the admissions office a letter demonstrating your interest. It really means a lot if they know you'll go there if accepted.</p>
<p>VAZ</p>
<p>^^^I considered doing that EA but I'll wait till I get deferred.</p>
<p>Yeah I agree, Vaz. Gtown is my top choice but GW's my second, and even if I don't get in, I know GW is great for what I want (int'l. affairs) and will be just as good a starting place for a career, especially if I get into the honors program. Undergrad is NOT everything, and even though I am nervous (I think that's natural), I know that rationally it will be fine either way.</p>
<p>yeah defintely undergrad means almost nothing once you are in grad school, people will never be like "impressive, you went to harvard law school! oh but wait, you went to XY and Z college, we cant take you"</p>
<p>going to a good undergrad DOES however help you to get into a good grad school</p>
<p>How many people are definitely calling tomorrow morning? I have a free first period, and I think I will call then and find out. I'm kind of nervous to find out by phone, but if I'm deferred I'm just gonna hang up on the person to avoid an awkward "really?" type situation.</p>
<p>ny10804 - If you get your mail before 5, and you're home before 5, just wait and check it out. If you don't get anything then definitely call. </p>
<p>thats probably what i'm going to do.</p>
<p>im absolutely calling right around 9:00am when the office opens haha. in the event that i get in, im taking the rest of the day off. my mail doesn't come until 4:00 and I couldn't wait that long</p>
<p>After the disappointment of not receiving the letter on Saturday I have become rather apathetic to the entire admissions decision. I mean, it has given me extra time to get my nerves under control and accept the fact that "what will be, will be."</p>
<p>i cannot wait to get my defferal letter!!!
but i have to wait til 530pm on monday cause of stupid track
and ever since i took a nap from 4-7 today i cannot sleep so now i have gtown anxiety...
i still have to apply to all my other schools...(except richmond which i just sent in)
pessimism is rooted
in my lower end of gtown acceptence spectrum ACT/SATII's
and GPA and class rank...which is top 15% because evry1 in my grade is an effing genius
and the valedictorian(one of the like 3) got deffered at Yale
and my friend/ STudent Member on the Board of Ed. got defered at Brown...
in summary come tomorrow....
i will open my letter and be like meh...and through it away
and hope for the best in March...
then continue procrastinating my HW</p>
<p>DEFERED!!!</p>
<p>Oh well.... So no luck from Alabama so far! </p>
<p>Good luck everyone</p>
<p>Accepted in NY!</p>
<p>accepted to McDonough! I just called in...I live in California but I'm on vacation until christmas so I couldn't wait!!!!!!</p>
<p>I'll post the real stats later. For now:</p>
<p>is it a live person or a recording?</p>
