<p>Hi everyone, so I got deferred (was expecting it…kinda). But do you think I still have a chance in RD pool?</p>
<p>ACT: 32, (34 if superscored)
SAT: 2020 (wouldn’t submit it, but I had to)

Essays: pretty good!, but I realized I made one grammar error. could i still fix it…?

Interview: very good
hooks: I moved to US from Turkey 3 years ago speaking no English, so I had to learn it in the past 3 years, still got a 117 on TOEFL
extracurriculars: editor-in-chief of newspaper, co-captain of debate club and mock trial, in a bunch of committees, active in mun, and a couple other things, including law internships in Turkey. extracurriculars are probably my strength

volunteering: not too many hours. (about 100) National Honor Society</p>

<p>Congrats to everybody who got accepted I never thought I would be accepted it’s truly a dream come true! To those who were deferred don’t lose hope because I had been telling myself for weeks I was going to get deferred!</p>
<p>@Student1001</p>
<p>Cant believe you thought you were getting deferred with 2340 and that GPA. My GPA is 3.25 grade 9, 3.0 grade 10, (both unweighted) and 4.33 grade 11( weighted +1.0) and 1880 SAT first try (second try was December so wont get it in time), and 40/45 IB predicted score, no SAT 2s. Awesome letters of rec, awesome interview, mediocre essays, and I still have hope of getting accepted am I lying to myself?</p>
<p>I agree. That’s Ivy league stats right there, student1001. Congrats! </p>

<p>Do you have ECs and volunteering? or legacy/athlete qualities?</p>

WGPA: 4.67 UW: 3.89
essays: wrote my sfs-specific one day of about the status of women in the world…might have been unique. My EC essay was about Model UN which was perfect for SFS.</p>
<p>interview: Went brilliantly at first, talked about British TV shows, politics, other cool things, until he asked me what I could bring to the table and I totally blanked. I thought I would be rejected because of the interview, but obviously they don’t matter at all.</p>
<p>@DaftNe</p>
<p>No athlete qualities, good ECs.</p>
<p>Accepted- College</p>

<p>Are any of you who got a letter from the philadelphia area?</p>
<p>@phillygirl31</p>
<p>I live about an hour north of Philly and got mine today :)</p>
<p>Got deferred and my letter was normal sized with one 8 1/2" x 11" sheet inside but I’m hoping for the best in RD</p>
<p>SAT: 800 M 730 CR 790 W
SAT II: 780 Math2 740 Math1 700 Chem
GPA: 3.9</p>
<p>I was wondering if anyone had similar numbers and got deferred as well or what I should do to increase my chances in RD</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>I owe this post to everyone out there who doesn’t believe that they can get accepted to a place like Georgetown. </p>
<p>I’m a white male, with absolutely no hooks.</p>
<p>SAT I: 710 CR, 730 Math, 710 Writing (but Gtown doesn’t consider the writing portion)
SAT II: 760 USH, 730 Math II</p>
<p>GPA (Unweighted): 3.93 at a mediocre public school</p>
<p>AP: USH 5, Lang & Comp 5</p>
<p>Sent two Dual Enrollment transcripts with 20 credits, 4.0 G.P.A.</p>
<p>EC’s
V.P of Class
President of NHS
15 hr/week job, year round
Marching/Concert/Jazz Band (Section Leader-Senior year)
Bowling Club
Homecoming/Prom/Float Committee Member</p>
<p>Put that I had participated in "Volunteer work, community action, or Tutoring, but did not specify number of hours.</p>
<p>My essays ranged from decent-excellent and one had a typo. My general essay was my CA essay, the other two were written literally hours before the deadline. I reread them and did like them, though. </p>
<p>I sent one teacher recommendation (because my second one didn’t send in time), and it was mediocre at best. My teacher allowed me to read it, and it sounded “copy and paste-ish.” My counselor doesn’t know me particularly well but he thinks I’m awesome (superficially, you could say), so it was probably decent at least.</p>
<p>Im sorry but how does that apply to people that think they won’t get accepted when you have the typical scores, crazy high GPAs, and great ECs of a Georgetown admitted student?</p>
<p>I’m waiting on my EA decision and wondering how/when it is supposed to arrive. Georgetown said Dec. 15 but tomorrow’s a Sunday so no mail. Are decisions emailed, snail-mailed, or both? No letter in the mail today. One girl from my school got in but I haven’t heard. Why wouldn’t we hear at the same time?</p>
<p>When can I expect a decision if I live in NY?? Has anyone else in NY heard about EA?
Thanks!!</p>
<p>I live in Middle Georgia, mail came in the pouring rain but no letter for me. Good luck to everyone and congratulations to those who got in!</p>
<p>I live in California and got my letter today. I got deferred (wasn’t really expecting to get admitted because my stats in comparison to all those accepted are pretty subpar). </p>
<p>Also, I wasn’t given an interview opportunity- when I called the admissions office, they said that there wasn’t anyone in my area (which I find to be very, very strange considering I live in the Los Angeles area of Southern California). Did anyone else in California not get an interview as well?</p>
<p>@IBDiplomaVictim I appreciate that you think that, actually haha. It just feels like that on all of these decision threads, everyone has 2250+ and 15 APs, and interesting awards, clubs, or outside of school activities. I knew I was “good,” but I struggled to find a reason they would want to accept me. </p>
<p>So, my point is, you do not need a 2400, 15 APs, some obscure EC, and super-outstanding rec letters to get it.</p>
