***GEORGETOWN 2021 WAITLIST THREAD***

SFS. There is speculation from someone on this thread with “insider” info that it is over-enrolled and that they won’t be taking anyone this year, but I’m still trying to be hopeful.

Don’t give up … everyone here is well-intentioned - few if any have information beyond experiential. I highly doubt any Gtown Admissions Counselors or Administrators are revealing information about enrollment to personal contacts - it would be extremely unprofessional. I’ve got my fingers crossed for you!

Mom just sent me a screenshot of rejection letter:
Dear XXXX
Thank you for your interest in remaining on the Waiting List for first year admission. I am sorry to tell you that it will not be possible to offer you a place in the Class of 2021 at GT.

Due to an exceptionally large number of students who accepted our offer of admission the year the Committee was exceedingly limited in its ability to consider candidates from the Waiting list …

Art history major for College.

UNC here I come!! Full Ride on the Tarheels. I could have done worse.I really feel relieved. Maybe grad school?

Good Luck to everyone!!

They sent me two letter just in case I missed one.

Thank you! I agree. And, wishing you a positive response as well.

‘Exceptionally large number’ ’ exceedingly limited’ :frowning: i hope thats just something they normally say

Thanks for sharing @Whynotme11 … sorry to hear you didn’t receive an acceptance, but UNC is a great school and I’m sure lucky to have you!

So sorry

how much was the stamp @Whynotme11

“Exceedingly limited” at least means there are spots left, rather than being too full right?

@bw00007 one sheet of paper .46 Seriously though it is a really good feeling to have this over with and know that I am going to a school that accepted me early and between scholarships and grants I will graduate debt free. I really wanted G’Town but the sense of relief is incredible. UNC wants me and G’Town made a big mistake because I will do incredible things and so will everyone else that goes somewhere else. Godspeed!!

This was the email I got on 5/11:

Dear XXXXXXX

Greetings from the Hilltop!

Wanted to have a quick chat about your place on the waiting list, if you could let me know a good time to speak to you this afternoon between 2pm-5pm, please let me know.

Talk to you soon!

Best,
-Minal Dhand

OK gtown’s facebook page just went up from 1470 to 1540 which means they must have accepted people from the waitlist and just added them to the group im guessing… so maybe no ones on cc

Sounds like we all need to check mail as soon as it arrives

@ivyaf123 did they tell you right away that you were accepted? im thinking that you were at the top of the waitlist which is why they called and they wanted to know if you would go or not before they accepted you officially

@ivyaf123 because the office keeps insisting that there are people who did not get calls and were not accepted

what do you mean by they added them into the group? @parisgeller

Theh accepted a bunch if requests to their admitted students facebook group. They now have 1560 members

@parisgeller it says for “prospective and accepted” so maybe its not people who were accepted off the waitlist and mine says 17 new members so hopefully that doesnt mean much

Will you be invited to GT facebook group even if you haven’t been admitted? I thought they only took 1580 total freshman? Is this right or is it 1600?

:||| I can’t check the mail til I get home LOL and I wanna check it myself

tbh i’m not expecting much though
