***GEORGETOWN 2021 WAITLIST THREAD***

just called the admissions office. they said calls were only made by certain admissions officers to obtain more info or if there was an error. no one has received notification of getting off the waitlist or not yet. we will get decisions in the mail either on the 15th or 16th

does anyone know how many people were waitlisted?

confused to why they told me no one has gotten off the waitlist yet if someone posted on this about getting in

Two people actually @BW0007 - as someone here pointed out, someone posted on the Georgetown vs. U Washington thread that they had gotten off the waitlist and had to choose …

I think what they mean is a call that gives them a verbal informal acceptance, and to make sure they’re still interested. The real acceptances will be released through snail mail.

we called Tuesday and were told everyone would be notified by mail being sent either thursday or Friday. and heard waitlist was not that long

also why is a 4.13UW 1580 SAT on the waitlist? we will all have answered by Monday latest

and a financial aid package might require a call and discussion prior to sending the letters as well

There is still one more painful, elongated step still to come…and i know because my D went through it two years ago…it’s called the “extended wait list” and they choose maybe 100 kids worldwide to be on that…its sent by mail and the student must sign a typed note saying that they’re willing to hear as late as July 1 and that they would still attend. As i recall, she received this note in very late May.

And I assume the chances of coming off that are slim to none?

Believe it or not, kids came off it. My D was going for the Walsh School…which is so crazy hard…here at CC, in maye very late June, a girl who truly sounded like my D in every demographic & stat way made it off the WL and posted the results here…at that moment, I knew she had gotten the one open spot for that school & the demographic they needed.

That’s a long time to wait when you are already settled at another school with class schedule, roommate, etc.

Yeah, the waitlist already sucks cause you have to commit to a school without final drcisions. Waiting until July would be awful.

Has any international student heard anything yet?? Anyone from SFS?

I’m from U.S. and have not heard. Waiting to hear about SFS. From the posts here, sounds like maybe everybody hears either way by tomorrow?

I don’t know how to post a picture on here but I have a screenshot of the email that Georgetown sent me 5/11 before calling me.

Also idk if I’ve posted this already but I’ve decided to accept gtown’s offer! They only gave me 24 hours to decide tho so it was a pretty tough choice.

Congratulations! Are you getting financial aid with the offer?

@WLGT2021 Yes! GT was very generous with the aid so it made my decision a little easier

is it possible that only people that are getting financial aid have been called?

Was emailed and called on Friday to get off the waitlist. School of NHS and no financial aid. Ultimately turned the offer down for another college.
