***Georgetown 2022 Applicants Discussion***

Called Georgetown and was rejected to SFS. Fluent in Russian and French. I am a professional Russian-English translator in Moscow. 3.95 GPA and 1400 SAT… Bye Georgetown :wink:

^^^Both my students were accepted in the last 3 years to Gtown. You are obviously well-qualified. But that isn’t enough–besides looking at the whole package, did you have a hook? Neither of mine did, but they must have ticked off multiple boxes, high - high scores, compelling essays, national championships, lots of leadership roles and community services, particular reasons for why gtown? etc.

Denied
35 ACT 4.5 GPA Major: Government
Native American, Bad interview
Accepted: Vanderbilt, Cornell, Columbia, UCLA, UCSB, Northwestern

Pretty confused by decision, but I did have a bad interview

@mrdilettante You seem to diminish the accomplishments of other people. No offense, but being in band for a couple years and tutoring your peers isn’t going to get you into a top university. You don’t get in because you are a “nice” person. If you want to personally DM me, I’ll tell you my credentials and everything I did in high school and then maybe you’ll understand why she didn’t get in.

refuckingjected but idc I’m committed to somewhere else

Accepted, afraid about financial aid

Just got my decision today and am from the Midwest- got a waitlist, which felt nice after yesterday

Sorry not trying to sound uninformed here but how do you get your decision? Email? Letter? Like what?

@amandasatt18 I just got mine through mail!

It’s through mail for domestic applicants, and through mail + email for international applicants (or at least I think so).

@techilliterate Okay so if I live in MA, should I be getting a letter soon?

@amandasatt18 I’m not sure… I almost feel like you should have gotten the letter much sooner because you live so much closer to Georgetown! I remember someone said that if you still haven’t received your decision by today or by tomorow (or something like that), you should give Georgetown a call and they would let you know of your decision.

In fact, I think @zaika actually called to get her decision!

Okay! Thank you!

@amandasatt18 :slight_smile: yup!

If you are international and haven’t heard back, call the admissions office! They will tell you. I was just waitlisted at the SFS… I’m kind of disappointed, but still hoping for the best!! Good luck to everyone who hasn’t heard back yet :slight_smile:

Rejected from Gtown College
34 ACT, 4.0uw, 4 ap classes senior year, 2 junior year, varsity fencing, lots of music, etc. NJ, white, female, had some legacy.
disappointed because this was my top school but I wasn’t surprised… I guess it’s time to move on!

I received the financial aid package in the mail but it says it does not constitute as a letter of acceptance. Does anyone has any information on this scenario?

So if I haven’t received my letter by the end of today should I just call tomorrow or wait till April 1st since that’s when they say decisions are officially out? I’m in Los Angeles btw

If you haven’t received anything by today, you can call, but be aware that Georgetown is in Easter Break and there may not be anyone in the Admissions Office.

@paddym0906 , were you waitlisted?
