Extended Waitlist

<p>Was anyone else put on the extended waitlist / did you accept a spot on the extended waitlist?</p>

<p>Recommend you stay on it if you want to come to Georgetown… and further starting writing those letters and send updates to the Admissions Committee… they want to know you are still interested.</p>

<p>I did and I sent additional updates to my admissions officer. I was just trying to see if anyone else was in my place. I have had my heart set on Georgetown since day one and i am not about to give up</p>

<p>My daughter accepted a spot on it, but the letter was fairly discouraging.</p>

<p>Can you post content or the gist of it? Never seen an extended WL letter before…</p>

<p>what school is your daughter waitlisted for?</p>

<p>@sra: Georgetown College</p>

<p>@soph: dated May 14, the usual platitudes for a couple of paragraphs and then:</p>

<p>“The Committee has informed most candidates that it will not be possible to consider their applications further. In a few cases, the Committee has offered candidates the opportunity to keep their names on an extended Waiting List…” and “…the liklihood of further spaces becoming available is quite small.”</p>

<p>Signed by Charles Deacon. My daughter is not a legacy and has no hooks so it’s strange to me that they offered her a spot on the extended list.</p>

<p>I’m on the same boat. If Georgetown comes out of the blue and offers me a spot with enough financial aid, I’d get on that in a heartbeat. But I’m not keeping any unreasonable expectations up. </p>

<p>Ah well, there’s always transferring next year! Although I’m hoping to fall in love with whatever school I go to this fall, even if it isn’t Georgetown.</p>

<p>what school are you waitlisted for? good luck & let me know if you hear anything</p>

<p>I’m waiting on the College. Thanks a lot, I’ll definitely post up something if I hear good news. Good luck to you, too! :)</p>

<p>I got accepted off of the extended waitlist for the College. I heard on Friday. I shall be attending.</p>

<p>I did not get in so I am going to try to transfer in for my sophomore year!</p>

<p>How were you notified and what did you do to get off? I am on the transfer waitlist which may be similar in ways; they said the committee will review apps early july decision by july 15. thanks :)</p>

<p>Hey, I know this is unrelated to Georgetown, but has anyone accepted a spot on the extended wait list for Bowdoin College? I did, and I haven’t heard anything yet, and it’s getting close to when I have to pay for my first semester at the school I accepted admission to. But if there’s any chance of going to Bowdoin I want to take it.</p>

<p>does anyone know that actual number of people on these ‘extended waitlists’ i am on the transfer students EWaitlist which i imagine maybe less than 10? Am I off on the numbers? I have only found one other person in my boat.</p>
