<p>i am in northern virginia and still waiting. i am basically 20 minutes from Gtown but got nothing on Saturday. Good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>I’m in the west coast too. No decision yet. Don’t worry it should be here tomorrow.</p>
<p>I want to call admission tomorrow in the morning when they open and ask for the decision, but that is so nerve racking to do it by person.</p>
<p>@NerdyandNervous I feel ya. i applied to NHS to and I’m freaking out that no one has posted an acceptance from there. hopefully we’ll here good news from them tomorrow!</p>
<p>I’m an international student and just got my deferral letter Sunday 10AM DC time :(</p>
<p>Applied to SFS
CR 680, M 780, W 710 three sittings… I guess Gtown probably took into consideration my first CR score, which was only 530…<br>
For the international affair essay, I wrote about the Israel & Palestine conflict(recounted my trip to Israel this spring). It might have been too general since I didn’t propose any practical way to solve the conflict and lacked critical thinking. </p>
<p>Anyone applied SFS? What did you write?</p>

<p>@next2normal ya you definitely have all the criteria… don’t fret you will most likely be accepted during RD i think they just wanted a few high med low and push back all the high for RD</p>
<p>@kcharo21 I have similar criteria to you, except my SAT IIs were worse and my SAT is 1940, GPA 3.48 uw </p>
<p>why do you think you got accepted? i’m just wondering if i have a good chance </p>
<p>also i’m a legacy and biracial (asian and african american) and played off of my diversity a lot, and had a really good interview. Does ANYONE think i have a chance of getting accepted? i’m really worried</p>
<p>@marylena Which country are you from?? I’m an international too and I’m so worried since I haven’t received a rejection… (Or acceptance but I doubt I’ll be accepted) … I guess I’ll be getting it Monday morning…</p>
<p>@kcharo21 Your stats is making me feel at bit more hopeful… I haven’t seen anyone with an 18-- SAT so I thought I’ll never make it… of course, your overall stats is better than mine… but at least… i wish, they give me a chance.
Where are you from?? I’ve yet to receive a letter which makes me feel like I’m going to be rejected.</p>
<p>@AnxiousUserName I’m from China. And you? Hope you get the email soon!</p>
<p>ever since one of you said the alumni chair person emailed you…i’ve been checking my email constantly and every time i see i have new mail i have a mini freak out…i’m a wreck</p>
