<p>If you don’t get in, then I don’t know what would get someone in. Grades and scores are awesome, URM, leadership, athletics, etc. What else do they want? If you don’t get in, then this whole college admissions world is completely twisted. Good luck.</p>
<p>Good luck everyone! I’m a current student at Georgetown and I love all the enthusiasm here. Currently procrastinating on studying for finals by posting here… haha. Feel free to ask me any questions if you have them! Don’t freak out too much because even if you get deferred, there is still hope. There are plenty of people here that got deferred and then got in. Hope to see you on the Hilltop.</p>
<p>Thanks! My interviewer was so chill. It was more like a conversation than an interview…especially we both found common ground in sports. I really like how Gtown incorporates every aspect of student life into a globalized and hands on experience.</p>
<p>A year ago today, I got my EA acceptance letter from Georgetown in the mail. It feels like it happened just yesterday. It’s bangin here, the excitement/nerves you guys are all feeling right now is warranted. Just relax, open the letter, and holla at me on the hilltop in the fall. Haha lemme know if yall have any questions. Hoya Saxa.</p>
<p>Hey all! I just stopped by to say hi and wish you all the best of luck on your decision. I got in early last year, and it was a great experience; definitely one of the top ten most memorable moments of my life. Just make sure to go straight ahead and open the envelope. Don’t go feeling around or anything, or you might accidentally see the housing registration procedures flyer that comes with if you get accepted. Talk about spoiling the special moment of reading the letter and finding out that the admissions committee has decided to accept your application! If you get in, definitely make sure to consider your full spectrum of options, but definitely keep Georgetown in mind if you also get accepted to some Ivies. The Hilltop has so much to offer, so much more than I ever imagined. Feel free to message me with any questions (about anything Georgetown) once you find out, no matter which decision you get. Also, if you’re on the West Coast, you may get your letter at the same time as or sooner than some of the people on the East Coast. I was speaking with some of my friends who got in EA from the EC, and I received my letter the day before them (I’m from Arizona). Again, good luck, and may the decisions be ever in your favor!</p>
<p>ahhh!!!</p>
<p>Hey guys, i’m going to follow johndelmac’s steps and give you some advice. I applied EA to georgetown as well; however, I got deferred. ITS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD. I ended up getting accepted in March. The key is to show georgetown that if you’re accepted… you will go there. That means, write a letter saying that you WANT to go to georgetown (if deferred). that is you’re qualified. Anyways, good luck and best wishes.</p>
<p>Thank you as1hou and johndelmac for the reassurance!! </p>
<p>I like this article from nyt the choice: </p>

Please, Let It Wait Until You Get Home. - The New York Times)</p>
<p>good for getting everything in perspective so i don’t completely freak out when the letter comes</p>
<p>^I like this article. Really reassuring. One thing, though: if my letter comes when I’m at my friend’s house Saturday, I’m having my mom open it for me and tell me what it says. I can’t wait until Sunday afternoon. But I reeeaaallly hope I can open it myself!</p>
<p>No Gtown letters in Maryland’s mail today.</p>
<p>Called the Admissions Office and they said that they have started mailing out decisions. Letters going to the farthest locations are being mailed out first but all should know by the 15th.</p>
<p>“I applied EA to georgetown as well; however, I got deferred. ITS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD.”</p>
<p>This is absolutely right. In this round GU–unlike other schools with ED and/or EA programs–is just taking 15%. Typically at RD, GU accepts 15% or so of the deferred students unlikw other schools where it is much lower. Just another way GU is unique.</p>
<p>Called the admissions office today to ask if they had mailed out the letters today; she said that the letters would be mailed out very soon and we will hear back on Saturday.</p>
<p>No! Not Saturday! I’ll be spending the night at my friends’ house and my mom will have to open it for me!</p>
<p>Alright, so I’ve applied EA and I don’t have the best test scores, definitely on the low end for GU (SAT: 1310 ACT: 30). I am ranked in the top 5% of my class, have good grades (and a hight GPA), and have taken a rather challenging course schedule for what is offered at my school. I have a ton of service hours behind me as I am an Eagle Scout. I am also Student Body Treasurer and was Junior Class Vice-President. I am also President of my choir which takes a large choir tour around the country each summer and will this year travel to Romania. In addition, I am a member of the National Honor Society, ASTRA Club, Interact Club, and Young Democrats. I also felt like my interview went really well. Do you think I have any chance???</p>
<p>@stilldeciding1 - While this is not exactly a thread for chancing, I’ll still tell you that your ECs are really impressive, and for that you have a good chance. The SAT scores aren’t incredibly low, although many Georgetown applicants are really up there (Gtown’s average w/o writing is 1460). Your ACT scores are very close to Gtown’s average of 30, though. I definitely wouldn’t rule out an acceptance, but it is a very competitive applicant pool. Good luck!!</p>
<p>It seems to me that the people that got the email may have gotten in…how many got that email that said “Greetings from Georgetown.” Does not make sense that not everyone got it. Has to be something distinguishing those that got that email</p>
<p>How many people got that email and what are your stats?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I got it and I only got a 1900 on the sat with a 3.91 UW GPA
So I don’t think it means much</p>
<p>I don’t think that at all. </p>
<p>I got it on 11/30. </p>
<p>Thank you for initiating your Georgetown University application for the fall of 2013. Whether you have submitted your application for Early Action review or plan to complete your application for Regular Decision, the Admissions Committee looks forward to reading your file and learning more about you. Early Action candidates can expect to receive a decision letter by the 15th of December. Until then, we wanted to highlight some of the opportunities awaiting you on the Hilltop below and we hope that you will continue to research and learn more about all of the academic, cultural and athletic opportunities available on our campus.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>Looks like it’s just for submitting part 1.</p>
<p>Yeah I definitely agree with CSIHSIS, it seems like the email was for people who complete part 1.</p>
<p>Regarding stats: 1570 SAT, top in class</p>
