<p>Acutally, the lowest GPA, I've heard of was a 0.0, that was in college though, the kid flunked out. And then there a kid in my class with a 0.9. and acutally, i know someone who got lower than a 200. his SAT scoresheet, acutally said invaildated for cheating! LOL</p>

5

<p>this is probably a stupid question but how does the format thing work?
do you just type the astericks etc in and it automatically comes out colored with bullets and stuff? .. sorry, im technically challenged.</p>

6

<p>You copy the format I posted, and then you have to remove the spaces that were inserted. I'll show you, replacing the space with an underscore:</p>

<p>[<em>b][</em>/b]</p>

<p>Delete those spaces and it'll work.</p>

<p>thanks, now i know how to post my decision when i get denied!</p>

8

<p>I know a kid with a .7 GPA.
sad, really.</p>

10

<p>is everyone assuming the letters will come this week just because they did last year as well? i mean, couldn't it just as easily be the week AFTER april 1st?</p>

11

<p>The school says you'll hear by April 1st, so technically no.</p>

12

<p>ahhh, i just read that you can call the admin office on april 2nd if you want to as well...</p>

<p>so yeah, i'm just a freaked-out idiot, nevermind haha.</p>

<p>How do you know??? Did you receive a call or something??</p>

15

<p>i got in EA, so perhaps this will help people size themselves up...?</p>

<p>Decision: Accepted
School: SFS
Prospective Major(s): Regional/Comparative Studies</p>

<p>STATS:</p>

<p>? SAT: V770, M680, W720
? SAT IIs: Bio-M - 690, World History - 790, French 750
? GPA: 3.78 (unweighted)
? Rank: school doesn't rank
? AP Scores: english lit - 5, world history - 5
? Other stats: </p>

<p>SUBJECTIVE:</p>

<p>? Essays: personal was about my a personal obsession with maps, and SFS essay was an analysis of Russia's energy policy toward the EU, via Gazprom; i've been told both were outstanding
? Teacher Recs: from what i gather, outstanding
? Counselor Rec: very strong
? Hook (if any): for georgetown it's because I'm a legacy, and I'm a nationally ranked artist in addition academic crap etc...</p>

<p>Location/Person:</p>

<p>? State or Country: CA
? School Type: Private, small
? Ethnicity: White
? Gender: Male</p>

<p>?Extracurriculars: basically just a lot of crap i was able to make sound important and relevant.</p>

<p>?Special skills or ability: the whole art aspect of my app i'm sure had some effect, as did the fact that i spent the summer between junior and senior year living in shanghai, where i took a full year of university mandarin in 2 months, and recieved college credit for it</p>

<p>?Why I think I was accepted/rejected/waitlisted: the IR focus, especially toward languages and humanities. I had amazing recs/essays/interview, and im sure spending a summer in shanghai didn't hurt. oh, and im a legacy like whoa</p>

<p>?ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: truth be told my SAT scores and GPA aren't really in range, but in all honesty i don't really care, and i go to a school where only those addicted to Adderall have above a 3.9</p>

16

<p>I just called in and the woman on the phone told me that the packages were sent out today!</p>

17

<p>any idea if packages are sent via regular mail or overnight?</p>

18

<p>I am absolutely getting nervous. Georgetown is in my top 4 choice and I wish I get into it. Good luck to everyone else as well!</p>

19

<p>Thanks for checking Saliha! Let us west coast folks know when the envelopes start arriving. My son is really anxious about this one...Georgetown has always been his #1 choice. Good luck to all of you wonderful, talented students!</p>

<p>CMA1, From past threads, I think everyone said they don't send out packages. All decisions are mailed in small envelopes.</p>
