Georgetown Acceptance

<p>I received my acceptance letter into Georgetown yesterday. What's with the $900 deposit...DAMN! It states "This year Georgetown's Admissions Committees considered over 1,500 transfer candidates for approximately 200 space." Good luck guys.</p>

<p>What Georgetown school did you apply to?</p>

<p>green: if they had 200 spaces, it was for the college</p>

<p>200 places just for the college? I thought 200/1500 meant the entire transfer pool.</p>

<p>matm, what do you mean?</p>

<p>200 = spots for college?</p>

<p>Both Collegeboard and US News and World Report have Georgetown accepting 400 out of 1400 applicants.</p>

<p>My theory until now has been that the letters refer to the amount of spots for the college. I now, however, believe that the letters only refer to the actual number of spots available, not the actual number of students accepted. You have to factor in yield and all that.</p>

<p>Yeah I think it has to do with the yield, you would think for 200 spots they would have to accept 300-400 students most likely.</p>

<p>Yep.......</p>

<p>Is Georgetown everybody's first choice?</p>

<p>brown was my first choice, until it became ridiculous to get into. now SFS is.</p>

<p>how did you hear brown was ridiculous to get into?</p>

<p>Supposedly this year they are only taking 60 students out of 1200 applicants.</p>

<p>that's harvard ridiculous.</p>

<p>idealistikz, I e-mailed their admissions office inquiring as to how many spots and applicants, and they did respond 60 for 1200 applicants.</p>

<p>Hi everyone, I just got accepted to the business school. I currently go to Stern at NYU and I am abroad in London. I was wondering what schools people are in and if they plan on actually transferring now that their in.</p>
