<p>Even if there is an extended waitlist, the chances of getting off that would be one in a million. Is waiting until the end of June really worth it? I blame the high yield rate on the class of 2015’s Facebook group.</p>
<p>I’m not waitlisted, I’m a transfer applicant, but I’m popping in to say that there is no DC law capping enrollment at DC universities. I think it may be the controversy over Georgetown’s 2010 Campus Plan simply being misinterpreted. Georgetown is actually looking to increase on-campus housing and thus it’s overall enrollment - they have proposed a voluntary cap of total enrollment at 15,000 students - over the next ten years. The DC Office of Planning and neighborhood interest groups in Burleith and Georgetown are pushing to limit enrollment, as well as requiring GU to host 100% of all traditional undergraduates on campus by 2016. The Hoya has a much better analysis of what’s going, if you want to know more: [Vox</a> Populi » Breaking down the Office of Planning report](<a href=“http://blog.georgetownvoice.com/2011/05/07/breaking-down-the-office-of-planning-report/]Vox”>http://blog.georgetownvoice.com/2011/05/07/breaking-down-the-office-of-planning-report/)</p>
<p>anyone know what time we hear? eastern time?</p>
<p>I got my letter today in the mail and I’m in VA. Basically just said: The Class of 2015 is full, we’re sorry we can’t give you good news but you’ve been placed on an extended waitlist until June 30, do you still want to wait even though its highly unlikely that any spots will become available.
So yeah…that’s it you guys. We got stuck in an unlucky year <em>sigh</em> I’m going to stay on the extended waitlist though even though I know its basically a lost cause :(</p>
<p>How is it that Sparrow317 posted, on the Extended Waitlist thread when confronted by another poster questioning how he/she knew his/her extended waitlist status when letters have not yet been released that, “. . . I called the office of undergraduate admissions and asked to know [sic].” Meanwhile, Sparrow317 posted on this thread that, “I got my letter today in the mail.” How do you explain two contradictory posts which occured within four minutes of 6pm EDT on Saturday, May 14th?</p>
<p>I am a bit confused about that 2 
Ah well, it’s only a matter of hours now</p>
<p>Anyone receive their waitlist result yet? And do you guys know if they’re released via email or mail for international applicants?</p>
<p>I got mine yesterday. I live in MD and I usually get letters pretty quickly. It’s short and it pretty much said what Sparrow317 said. They couldn’t go to their waitlist this year. I’m guessing you all should get the letter tomorrow. But yeah we just got stuck in an unlucky year…it’s hard to think that we didn’t really have a chance anyways. But I hope everyone is happy with their choice :)</p>
<p>@carsonpwns: i think its by email and mail, but we have not received anything as of now. Email usually comes first, followed by a mail a couple of days later depending where international apps live :)</p>
<p>I got my letter on Saturday afternoon but I had already known what it would say because I called Friday afternoon. I had just called to know about the waitlist and whether or not the class of 2015 was full but the lady who spoke with me just told me that the rumors were true and then looked up my name and told me that I was on the extended waitlist. Maybe she was tired of people calling and decided to tell me? I don’t know. But that is how I knew before my letter arrived yesterday. Hope that clears up any confusion :)</p>
<p>any1 else heard?</p>
<p>I can confirm the above posts. I live in NJ and I got my letter today saying “the Committee was unable to consider candidates from the waiting list.” Looks like they did over-admit.</p>
<p>Yes, I got my letter today. What they were saying was true. They didn’t consider the wait list because a large number of people accepted their offer.</p>
<p>I got my letter today. I was offered a spot on the extended waitlist. I’m accepting it even though I know that they over-yielded the chances are one in a million. I’m finally letting go of Georgetown and moving on to the school where I put a deposit down…I added it to my education on facebook, put a bumper sticker on the car, etc. etc. It actually feels good to finally have closure on the college process after nearly 1.5 years of meetings, visits, college books, apps, interviews, deferrals, waitlists, and rejections, among others.</p>
<p>To all who are waiting for waitlist places (or extended waitlist): in an information session for Alumni interviewers we have been told by the Dean of Undergraduate Admissions that the class of 2015 is 100% FULL. This means unfortunately no-one on the waitlist (or extended waitlist) will be accepted.</p>
<p>N.B Please understand that every year Georgetown receives an ever greater number of exceptionally qualified students, yet, as per city ordinance, there is also a legal limit to the number of students for the incoming class: 1580.</p>
<p>So if they over admitted it must mean that there are now more than 1580 enrolled for this Fall. Will this mean that they will start to revoke offers?!</p>
<p>ah well, at least i got closure =)
gl to those of u on the extended list</p>
<p>No. This does not mean offers will be revoked. A certain portion of those who accept a place will nonetheless end up attending for one reason or another (personal circumstances necessitate waiting a year, get off the waitlist elsewhere, etc.) If after that the class is still overfilled, the admissions office will reduce the number of transfer applicants admitted to balance things out.</p>
<p>There is not actually a firm limit of 1580 incoming students imposed on Georgetown; instead, the total number of undergraduates is limited by the city. That cap presently is 6,016. 1580 is the internal number Georgetown shoots for in order to hit as close as possible to the cap without going over. Going over 1580 is problematic because 1) it means less transfer students 2) freshman housing is designed with 1580 in mind and 3) it skews the relative sizes of Georgetown’s classes, but no one will have an offer revoked.</p>
