Is this all stats?? Is there another discussion for non-stats while we wait for the next 15 weeks??

Agree. Keep the stats to the ‘Chance me’ threads please or post decision threads.

There’s already a seperate discussion thread. This was created for stats, not chances. Just saying… @TXDad56 @nsliyromanov

@jackrabbit14 a discussion thread for RD???

Oh no just EA

Hey guys, I’ve been a lurker here, but here I am now! The Georgetown Admissions twitter has officially said that EA decisions are being mailed today, ahhhhhh!!

@mndt38 Is that you? -AC

@2016senior2020 I don’t know anyone else from my school who’s applying to Georgetown, so probably not! But my initials are AT if that help any

@mndt38 Lol then nope! One of my friends applying to Georgetown told me she made an account a few hours ago so I thought it might have been her. Lol

I cannot wait! Even though a deferral is likely, it feels like Christmas is coming early.

I’m usually a patient person, but this is pretty exciting 8-|

Does anyone know if the portal we applied through has any information about our decision? I know for some other schools the decision is posted before the physical letter reaches us.

@hssenior16 Don’t think so.

@hssenior16 there is no portal notification. It’s via snail mail. Georgetown likes to keep it old school.

The lucky applicants of the DC area/virginia/Maryland please post if y’all receive your letters today! Good luck!

Update: Just checked my mail and I gotten nothing so far. I live in MD, so I’m not sure if the mail hasn’t come by yet or if it’s arriving Monday/ by email.
