<p>I just want to say, I am so proud to be part of this little community. Thank you all for our mutual sharing of anxiety the past few months. So much worrying? All for what! I looked back at some posts "35 days left guys!!". Lol... It's finally over.</p>
<p>I don't think rank is everything...my school doesn't even rank, and I got in. I also had nowhere near straight A's. </p>
<p>And I think you all have a really good chance of getting in RD. Everyone on here is so amazingly qualified.</p>
<p>Babybird, I know exactly how you feel. I felt like I was exceptionally well qualified for McDonough, the school I applied to, because I started my own very successful business and have had stellar math grades all throughout high school and on my SAT's (790). I know I was good enough to get in, yet there was something they didn't like. Even if I am accepted RD I don't think I will be attending, I don't want to go somewhere that I am not wanted.</p>
<p>kiki, you and me are birds of a feath</p>
<p>i simply don't, don't get it. i feel like i've worked my entire life for these types of schools, these crazy competitive things that seem to PMS and just defer me...i wish i had their reason...and i wish they could reject candidates because now I just feel like i'm in limbo</p>
<p>but not to bitch, i mean, you acceptees are great and congrats, etc.</p>
<p>You guys, I got accepted!!!!!! I'm so excited!!!!!!</p>
<p>And to those who were deferred: don't lose hope! There's still RD.</p>
<p>Now for Tlaktan!!! :D</p>
<p>(PS- Manderz and Netshark, thanks for thinking of me and Tlak!-- And CONGRATULATIONS!)</p>
<p>Babybird, I know what you mean, I wish they rejected too. Then I would at least know, if I was deferred, that I had an actual shot at regular decision. And not to put down the acceptees, but my stats were just as good as a lot of theirs and I just don't understand why I was not accepted.</p>
<p>Dan, its great to hear from you, we were worried for a while.</p>
<p>i knew as soon as my mom described the envelope that i couldn't have gotten in...</p>
<p>Thanks, Brenner! And congrats! I can't believe this is happening... I'm so happy! :)</p>
<p>...and as for Tlak, I think he said that he hat ROTC today? So he'll be on around 4? I think that's what he said...</p>
<p>I never knew I could cry with tears of happiness in such racking sobs..I guess I really am invested in my happiness!</p>
<p>Seriously, I'm so excited and can't wait to meet you all and get to know you all better!</p>
<p>babybird, my rank was about 17-21/554...(that's top 4%) so you definitely don't have to be #1 to get in!</p>
<p>Do any of you guys have Live Journal? I was thinking of starting a Class of 09 community!</p>
<p>Deferred. :( Hanging out with Ben and Jerry tonight. I'll probably post more later, I just don't feel like it right now.</p>
<p>hey y'all- im new to this board. im from new orleans, louisiana. congratulations to all of you who got in! that is really awesome! </p>
<p>for all of you who got deferred, i'm in the same boat. hang in there. </p>
<p>i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about what to do for regular admission i.e. sending more recs, etc? I really love Georgetown, as do many of you, and I'm not ready to give up hope, just yet! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks and congratulations to all!</p>
<p>babybird: i completely empathize, although my school doesn't rank, i think my GPA screwed me over, because my school just recently switched to a much softer scale from a relatively harsh one. i can't help but feeling if georgetown cannot empathize for somebody who repeatedly said it was her first choice, took 10 APs and 13 honors while her parents left her at home alone for months at a time for brain surgery, got a 1550, and was the varsity captain of a sport and editor of yearbook, i just don't want to go there anymore. i know it sounds like a big pity party but whatever, i'm allowed one day right? hah.</p>
<p>Oh my god, I'm so happy for those accepted! And to those deferred, don't give up hope! </p>
<p>It didn't come today in our mail, so my daughter and I went to see Ocean's 12 to de-stress! The wait until tomorrow's mail is going to be brutal.</p>
<p>Good luck to all those see waiting!</p>
<p>Ok, for all those who got deferred (including me), look at what my brother just sent me:</p>
<p>"Some things in life are bad,
They can really make you mad,
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle.
And this'll help things turn out for the best.</p>
<p>And....</p>
<p>Always look on the bright side of life, (whistle)
Always look on the bright side of life, (whistle)
If life seems jolly rotten,
There's something you've forgotten,
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps,
Don't be silly chumps.
Just purse your lips and whistle, that's the thing."</p>
<p>To all those who got accepted - congrats!</p>
<p>ellafunt-- i remember when i was looking through old threads and came across your stats somewhere, i said, oh she's definitely getting in</p>
<p>i said that about some other people that got deferred too
so i simply cannot understand it</p>
<p>but listen to this...my close friend got into Princeton Early Decision but he also had an application in at U of Chicago...he got deferred at U Chicago! how ironic is that!</p>
<p>Babybird are you on AIM? And other deferred people, we should talk. IM me, kiki81ny.</p>
<p>I also got in. This is surreal.</p>
<p>I agree with the poster above me somewhere, a Georgetown c/o 2009 livejournal community.</p>
<p>My friend also got deferred today. She's already planning on sending in another rec and a letter. I think she can get in RD.</p>
<p>According to the EA List, 22/37 have gotten their decisions, and 12 have gotten in (over 50%). That's a pretty good average considering only ~23% of the entire applicant pool will be getting acceptances.</p>
<p>Congrats again to all those accepted. I should be finding out in about 19 hours... :)</p>
