Waitlist I’m blaming my bad interview…
All applicants get interviewed.
yes
Accepted!
I did not get an interview- they informed me of this before I even submitted my application due to lack of interviewers in my area.
Congrats to everybody!!
How did you find that out? Is the interview score on the portal.
Naaa. This is a numbers game. My son had a great interview but the fact that he hasn’t comes running downstairs says it all. Not top shelf enough. He is on my top shelf though and that is good enough. Congrats to all Seniors. You will find your home.
Please share stats

Impressive stats! You must have many other good options!
It’s actually not me - my son was admitted. I’ll ask him.
Waitlisted too
What does it mean by numbers game? Just curious
D22 Accepted to Business. 3.96 UW, 4.69 W, 35 ACT, Decent ECs and Essays
our son is a current sophomore at Georgetown - he was waitlisted after applying RD - he was asked at least 3 times if he wanted to stay on the waitlist - he continued to stay on the waitlist - he was also on Columbia waitlist to the end
he had actually deposited at another school - and in August - late August - he was offered a spot at G-Town
all this to say - take the waitlist - stay on the waitlist - continue to report updates and have new recommenders recommend you - it seems from our experience that they use their waitlist as a way to continue to shape their class - try to make contact with the admissions rep for your area
they do continue to tell you if you have any further updates or recs that you can share them - it was kind of infuriating - but he is very happy there and the insane covid year that he applied was frustrating all around - just thought I’d share what the waitlist experience was 2 cycles ago
DD accepted into SFS. She’s in shock!!!
Looks like they fixed that glitch from EA. Even admitted students don’t have access to the portal yet.
GOT IN!!!
For applicants next year, I was NOT able to access my accepted portal even after I received my letter of acceptance! It is NOT an indicator.
