No letter in OH… little frustrated, would it have killed them to send it out a day or two earlier for longer distances?
If it makes you feel any better, all four kids who applied from the public high school in alexandria, va, have no letter. g-town is less than six miles from the hs.
Is it an option to call admissions to find out over the phone if the letter didn’t come today?

Talked about my experience as a patient in the hospital w/ testicular torsion, and how the first hand-exposure to the medical field and its combination of STEM and the humanities made me decide its what I wanted to do. Then went into why Georgetown was the right place for my to follow that path

Didn’t read
Teacher Rec #1: 10/10 Choir Teacher: I’ve known him since 8th grade and he claimed that his rec made me seem like a god

Reflection
Strengths: I think my essays caught their attention. Good recs, rank, and courseload.
Weaknesses: Scores were not spectacular, especially subject tests and ACT science subsection
Why you think you were accepted/deferred/rejected: I think I really conveyed my love for Georgetown and medicine through my essays and extracurriculars
Where else were you accepted/deferred/rejected: Accepted: VCU, Hampton, Howard, George Mason
General Comments : I was so shocked, especially because the early rate is so low! I probably sat on college confidential for hours wondering if my stats were enough. Keep in mind that its not all about scores! Admissions know how to approach applications holistically and I believe that’s why I got in. Good luck to everyone waiting on decisions, and to everyone that was deferred DO NOT give up! Georgetown’s early action rate is low, and you still have a great chance during the regular round. #HoyaSaxa!
So I guess I am getting my mail on Monday…UGH!
–From SC
Is there any chance they could release it on the portal tonight?
No news in Texas
@sgdallas328
What portal? I cannot find one on the website.
I don’t believe they release it there, based on previous threads
Anyone notice they reused the picture of Jack with the mailbox from the Class of 2021 RD decisions tweet?
I live in Northern Virginia (20 miles from Georgetown) and didn’t get anything today but my friend who goes to the same school as me did so I’m really confused lol. Does anyone know if we can call tmrw to get our decision? I can’t wait anymore!
So turns out my sister had the letter and I got deferred. Sigh it’s whatever I knew it was gonna happen but it still sucks.
In Utah & just checked mail - not here yet 
anxiety is building
Accepted!!! Got the mail in CT today. It had .68 postage for whoever is wondering
cristiano10s - did it only have 1 sheet of paper?
@cristiano10s would you mind posting stats if you’re comfortable with it? also good job on getting accepted!!!
