Application Part II - Problem

Colleges and Universities A-Z Georgetown University
1

<p>So, this afternoon (January 30), I received this email (it was sent earlier today too, so it's not like I just didn't check my email):


</p>

<p>Apparently my application didn't go through "last evening" (29th), and I need to resubmit my app by January 14?!!!! Wut? I've emailed the admissions office and asked for clarification on this, and I'm going to resubmit the application as soon as possible, if they'll still take it.</p>

<p>Anybody else have a problem with this, or advice for the situation?</p>

<p>Oh, and I received some official confirmation email when I did submit my application, and it sounded like they had all my materials and everything.</p>

<p>Just resubmit. It's their fault, not yours.
Maybe email the office after you're done. Good luck! :)</p>

<p>I got the same email!</p>

4

<p>I called. They said it should really say Feb 4th. Resubmit it.</p>

<p>They sent me two e-mails (both on January 30th). The one you have copy/pasted is one of them... but here is the other:</p>

<p>dude... so annoying!! i got this too</p>

7

<p>Thanks everyone, I'll submit it again :]</p>

<p>Did anyone call the office to confirm that they received your application?
I just began thinking about my app at Georgetown and I'm not too convinced that they received it the 2nd time..</p>

9

<p>I didn't ever call, but I believe that I received an email confirming it, so it seems to be all right. I interviewed already (but that was after the first time I "submitted it" soooo who know) as well, so I'm thinking they have my app.</p>

10

<p>I had the confirmation when I tried the first time.. and it didnt go through.
And I got a confirmation the 2nd time.. but i dont know if it went through.
I asked my counselor to call for me, but I don't know if she did it.</p>

<p>I got interviewed too..</p>

11

<p>I never got an interview because of the delayed application. :(</p>

12

<p>^ :[ Hopefully they won't hold it against you - if they'd used the commonapp this would've never happened! Lol, so it's not exactly our fault :]
Maybe you should call/email Georgetown admissions and see what's up, like, make sure that not getting interviewed isn't going to hurt your application.</p>

13

<p>I have... they told me it would be waived and not held against me. I'm still bummed because a good interview could have helped me out. boooo</p>

<p>The interview assignment process starts after you submit Part I, so having your Part II delayed would not affect your interview status in any way. It's also true that some people end up not getting interviews (particularly those living abroad, but some in the U.S. as well). If that's the case, then it can certainly be a bit disappointing, but it won't negatively impact your application.</p>
