Class of 2016: EA/Regular decision discussion

<p>I feel like so much of applying to colleges is like spinning a wheel of fortune and hoping it lands on “winner.” i was reading last year’s posts and some really really qualified people were rejected while some less qualified people were accepted… what are your thoughts?</p>

<p>Hey guys! I’m applying EA to the college. My scores aren’t stellar, but my grades are. No hook. </p>

<p>I had my interview just today after she FORGOT the first time. She literally forgot about me for our first interview and left me waiting at Starbucks like a loner. I’m not trying to scare anyone, and it probably won’t happen to you. Just know that, if it does, I’m here to commiserate! The interview went well, I think. She ended up being really nice and open. Just prepare answers to general questions like “why Georgetown” and others about you personally. Definitely prepare some insightful ones for the interviewer. Good luck!</p>

<p>I emailed my interviewer a week ago to set up an appointment and haven’t gotten a response back. How long did it take for everyone to get their responses about dates/times?</p>

<p>It was about a week or two before I got a response from my interviewer. I’d give it a couple of more days.</p>

<p>I have a question. Is it frowned upon for me to have a teacher rec or two other than Georgetown’s teacher report? I had two of my teachers write reccs that I’m sending to all schools and I gave one of those two the Gtown report. Which of the three should I be sending to georgetown?</p>

<p>I’m applying EA. I had my interview. I think it went quite well. Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>I submitted Part I of the application about two weeks ago, but have not gotten an email back regarding interviews. How long did it take before you guys were contacted??</p>

<p>I submitted my part 1 on the first week of August. I was contacted around September 19th.</p>

<p>Gotcha… so do you think I will be contacted before 11/1? (the deadline for EA?)</p>

<p>I just finished the application today. I’m so excited to apply but so nervous. I think my interview went well. December 15th is going to be the most nerve wracking day ever!!</p>

<p>is december 15th the official day we are supposed to receiver the letter?</p>

<p>yeah but i was reading the thread from last year, and a lot of people closer to d.c. got it a day or two before the 15th and people out west got it a couple days after</p>

<p>I just sent my REA paper apps and submitted my Online Application. Holy mother of God.</p>

<p>question: if i took the Oct 1st sat, and sent the scores from collegeboard w/regular shipping yesterday (Oct 20), will it get there in time?</p>

<p>Is the CSS profile due on Feb 1st, even for EA applicants?</p>

<p>I rushed mine to be on the safe side. But, I think regular should be there in time as well.</p>

<p>i was going to… but i looked on georgetown’s website and they recommended not rushing it because it takes them the same amount of time to get it! :/</p>

<p>how long are your essays? i’m a bit worried because my personal one is getting a bit long.</p>

<p>My Why Georgetown? essay and my personal essay are both a page in length, Times New Roman pt 12 font, single-spaced. So, 500-650 words.</p>

<p>EA deadline is almost here! 2 more days…</p>
