<p>They want to have RECEIVED the materials by March 1st, unlike every other school I've seen before, whose application deadline has been the POSTMARK deadline!</p>
<p>So if you haven't sent yours out yet, do it ASAP.
I didn't realize this so I am now struggling to gather my finalize my materials and send them out tomorrow in the hopes of being granted some leniency. All this would be a lot easier if they just had an online application...</p>
<p>Best of luck to you all!</p>
<p>Thanks for the reminder</p>
<p>thanks for the post. Im sending mine overnight delivery today.</p>
<p>What makes you think that's what they mean though- Do they say it somewhere?
I read that it "must be returned by March 1" with returned probably meaning <em>mailed out</em>.</p>
<p>When I attended the information session a couple weeks back, the spokeswoman said that even if you happen to mail it out on March 1st for some reason you'll still be fine.</p>
<p>Are you all sending descriptions of completed and current college coursework?</p>
<p>Yes; that is a required component of the application.</p>
<p>Actually, I just spoke with someone from the Undergrad Admissions office and she said that March 1st is the postmark deadline; so, as long as you mail out your material before or ON MARCH 1st, you're ok.</p>
<p>I sent mine middle of January, still no acknowledgment outside of G'Town cashing my check. Am I good?</p>

<p>I also sent my app fee and my personal data form in the middle of January, and I still have not heard anything from Georgetown. I called and they said that the transfer apps are probably still sitting on a desk waiting to be filed due to their valuing of the freshman apps currently.</p>
<p>"Are you all sending descriptions of completed and current college coursework?"</p>
<p>Please explain what you mean specifically by descriptions of college coursework? More than an official transcript?</p>
<p>Aha! Found it on the website....DIFFERENT QUESTION:</p>
<p>Does it suffice to copy and paste from my school's online registrar descriptions?</p>
<p>Oh, well I guess I was wrong haha. The rhetoric I saw in the documents made me think otherwise, since it said things like "must be received by" and "must be filed by." Well, I just wasted 24 dollars on overnight shipping, and probably sent in an immature app.</p>
<p>edit: oh yea and with the course catalog info, they said they wanted "academic regulations." I wasn't sure what this really meant, since I couldn't find anything analogous in my catalog, but I sent them the pages explaining the grading and unit system. Any ideas?</p>
<p>You scared the poop out of me! Tomorrow is the 1st and I was planning on heading to the post office and sending it all out by COB. I talked to the Admissions Office though and they said that as long as it is POSTMARKED by the 1st it is acceptable. However, I just completed the PROFILE and IDOC from CollegeBoard for Georgetown's Financial Aid process and I think that those materials have to be received BY March 1st. I overnighted them so hopefully they'll be there by tomorrow. We'll see....</p>
