<p>I applied to georgetown regular action..if fact I sent my application december 15th..i still have not sent any of my transcripts or reference letters..</p>
<p>today I got a letter from georgetown telling me I had been defered (the letter was writen dic 13th..at the time they didn't even have an application!)..i am international so mail takes a long time..</p>
<p>what do i do?..i hope that this doesn't affect my chances regular decision!</p>
<p>Wow that's cool! You didn't even have to apply to get deferred! I wish my colleges would consider me good enough for a deferral without even looking at my applications. (Although I hope they'd accept me flat-out as soon as they saw my application!)
Call the admissions office and explain your problem. You might want to email your regional admissions officer as well and explain what happened. Or you could just let it go and hope they sort out your problem when they receive your RD application, open your file, and realize that you're RD not ED.</p>
<p>That's a serious mistake on their part -- was the letter addressed to you (your name)? You should definitely contact them and tell them. They might have made the same mistake to others.</p>
<p>that's really weird... It seems GU's admissions office is terribly unorganized haha
Definitely call to get it resolved, though.</p>
<p>Something like that happens every year... they have to handle a lot of applications... but that's funny, imagine if you were accepted...</p>
<p>That is the most obscure thing I have ever heard! Random deferral letter... Nice souvenir, though! I've never heard of that happening to anyone</p>
<p>Did you fill out Part One of the Application in advance? Because if u did, you were probably mistakenly classified as an EA applicant and when they received no Part 2 you were automatically deferred. If you think this did happen then definitely call and rectify the error because it looks really bad from their perspective thinking you didn't take the time to fill out the entire app by the EA deadline.</p>
<p>wow...dude....this happens once in a lifetime. definitely call them and explain it to them. they'll like that you took initiative and didn't let it just slide. if they find out later, you're screwed.</p>
<p>Pretty much what mikey said: if you submitted the Personal Data Form and either accidentally marked it Early Action, or a mistake was made somewhere down the line on the other end, then your file would've been marked Early Action and you would've been automatically deferred due to an incomplete application.</p>
<p>Calling the office or sending an e-mail would be a good idea, just to make sure everything gets straightened out.</p>
