770 SAT Literature
740 SAT World History
Public School
And a lottttt of extracurriculars/volunteer (ie: class president, intern at county court, varsity field hockey and outdoor/indoor track, president of French NHS, etc)
And I had a great interviewer!</p>

<p>So excited!!!</p>

<p>@leafleafleaf,</p>

<p>Good luck with Columbia!
For me, I am hoping to get in into Brown or UPenn. I’ve re-taken the SAT, so I hope I get a satisfying grade in three days…</p>

<p>i have a classically trained *****</p>

<p>So who would definitely go to G’town / who is definitely going to G’town?</p>

<p>I don’t know if I’m even going to complete my half finished apps anywhere else now…</p>

<p>Accepted! I applied to the FLL :slight_smile: anyone else? I’m double majoring in German and Spanish.
I won’t post my exact stats, but average ACT and SAT scores, tons of ECs, and really good essays and awards (I think they’re the main reasons I got in).</p>

<p>SFS but I plan to continue Japanese and also take Korean.</p>

<p>What happens to a dream deferred?</p>

<p>Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore–
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over–
like a syrupy sweet?</p>

<p>Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.</p>

<p>Or does it explode?</p>

<p>-L.H.</p>

<p>for me, if i get into an ivy i don’t think ill go to GTOWN. or if i get a great scholarship somewhere else. but it’s still exciting. 4 kids from my grade of 550 seniors got in!</p>

<p>i know this is old, but i was accepted to Gtown college (from northern virginia)
3.98 unweighted, 4.4 weighted
ACT: 35
SAT: 760 reading, 800 math, 780 writing (2340)
ECs are good but not great
Good recs, essays
Interview was mehh</p>

<p>if i was defferred what are some things i can do to tell georgetown i’m still interested and that it’s still my number 1.</p>

<p>I know this is old as well, but just in case people look back on this thread and want to compare stats</p>

<p>Decision: Accepted
SATS: 2300+
Subject Tests: Chem, Bio, US History, Math II 750+
Recs: Really good
Interview: Went really well
Essays- pretty good
ECs- pretty strong, lots of leadership and interest in the field i want to go in</p>

<p>was it really hard to get in this year? i’m trying to weigh my chances with getting into places like harvard, princeton, duke, cornell</p>

<p>This year, Georgetown was harder to get into EA than almost every other school, including every Ivy, and it’s harder to get in early than RD. If you got in EA, you should take that as a very good sign, although it’s extremely unpredictable.</p>

<p>It wasn’t harder to get into than all the ivies. The acceptance rate may have been lower, but remember that the ivies are more self-selecting, and HYP are SCEA and Columbia, Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell and Penn are ED so, naturally, only candidates with pretty pretty strong chances end up applying. But yeah, Gtown is getting pretty darn selective!</p>

<p>I was deferred to regular decision, so when are we expected to hear back for regular decision?</p>

<p>^When the rest of the decisions go out. Deferred people aren’t special.</p>

<p>Ok yes so when do the decisions come out? I know that I’ll find out at the same time as everyone else in the RD pool.</p>
