Extended Waitlist

<p>Hopefully, students who got in get off the waitlist at another school they prefer. </p>

<p>So there is still some measure of hope for those of us on the extended waitlist.
Yeah its brutal, and yeah its more stress but we have to hang in there.</p>

<p>Anyone else in the extended waitlist?</p>

<p>they’re notifying people tomorrow…
how’d ye get 2 know now?</p>

<p>I called the office of undergraduate admissions and asked to know.</p>

<p>I am. Does anyone know how many people are typically on the extended waitlist and/or how many people are usually admitted off of said list?</p>

<p>To all who are waiting for wait list spots, in an information session for Alumni interviews we have been told by the Dean of Undergraduate Admissions that the class of 2015 is 100% FULL. This means unfortunately no-one on the waitlist will be accepted.</p>

<p>the reality is that there is a DC city ordinance which limits our class size to a set number and Georgetown legally can’t go over it.</p>

<p>We understand that the class for next year is full at this moment. But there is still (a very slight) chance that room becomes available, else they wouldn’t have handed out extended wait list offers.</p>

<p>If enough Georgetown kids accept wait list offers at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, etc., that opens room for the incoming class. That’s why they have the extended wait list, because they don’t know how many of those spots might open up.</p>

<p>So a slight chance still does remain for all Georgetown hopefuls on the extended wait list.</p>

<p>Unfortunately I can confirm that no one, not even on “extended” wait list will be accepted for Fall 2015.
While I understand that being placed on this list has given some the impression that spots may open up, the internal consensus is that the class is already so full that even if a significant number decided to accept offers elsewhere, there is no need/place to accept more applicants.</p>

<p>3700Street,</p>

<p>Do you anticipate this year’s full (or possibly over-enrolled) Class of 2015 affecting transfer admissions in any way, whatsoever? For example, if this was, in fact, a case of over-enrollment, would less transfers be offered acceptance (or would transfer applicants placed on a waitlist have a severely diminished chance of being accepted off the waitlist) to compensate? Thanks</p>

<p>I understand that the class if full now; they made it quite clear in the extended wait list letter.</p>

<p>But if a large number of people back out from the class of 2015, and they have a few spots left open, they’re not going to leave them empty; that’s hundreds of thousands of dollars they are throwing away.</p>

<p>Is it likely anyone will be accepted off of the wait list? No, it’s extremely unlikely anyone will, I acknowledge that. However, the idea that there is absolutely no chance must be coming from some sort of misunderstanding; it just doesn’t make sense economically, nor considering how they sent out extended wait list offers.</p>
