What are the parameters around the extended waitlist? is it just a handful of kids? right now, my kid is extended waitlisted at georgetown. only 75 kids are on it…and they will be told June 30…after that, they use transfers to fill any vacancies. That doesn’t seem that bad. But if this waitlist is more of a “we’ll let you know in mid-august and you show up the next day…” well, that’s an issue.
We know very little about the waitlist. Other than some have been offered and we find out by August 1st, we know absolutely nothing else.
I doubt there are very many kids on the extended wait list. Most likely GT is trying to avoid the housing problem they had last year where they ended up using study rooms in some dorms as dorm rooms.
If you look at the housing contract I think that if someone doesn’t cancel by Aug 1st then they can be billed for more than the $600.
It’s been awhile…has anyone heard anything? Still waiting.
^ have you tried calling for an update?
No…my son checks his GT e-mail twice a day for news.
FWIW, VelveteenKid gave up his spot in the GT honors college last week, so hopefully someone else got some good news.
