Georgetown Class of 2017 EA/RD Discussion Thread

<p>I just had my interview today and he was a dentist haha</p>

<p>Well I think it went well! The guy was really friendly and let me speak. I got in everything I wanted to and asked him a few questions, and then we had some general banter.</p>

<p>The interview was not some two hour opus though. He’s a judge… who’s prepping for a murder trial, apparently.</p>

<p>Should I be worried that I haven’t been contacted for an interview yet and submitted part one ages ago?</p>

<p>where do u guys sign up for interviews?
I’m international, if that matters, just made the account, working on the activities portion of the application process.</p>

<p>I am undecided, leaning towards a major in poli science and a minor in economics</p>

<p>I’m not sure about the filing deadline for CSS profile… one place it says file two weeks before priority deadline - does that mean the EA deadline of 11/1? On the CSS profile it says the deadline is 2/1/13. Can anyone clarify?</p>

<p>any interview tips?
Should i spend some time on the gtown website?</p>

<p>just had my interview. I think it went well! XD</p>

<p>What kind of questions did they ask?</p>

<p>I just submitted my application. I haven’t heard anything about the interview, though…</p>

<p>It turns out that my interviewer is actually my friend’s mom, LOL. I saw her contact info and was like, “…wut.”</p>

<p>Also, quick question! I’m applying to be an English major, and for my creative/personal essay I submitted a poem that I had written this year with some profanity in it. None of it’s in there for shock value; it’s just very natural for the flow… do you guys think that I should just do a normal essay? I don’t want to send a censored version of the poem, meh. Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>What kinds of things did y’all list under special talents and abilities?</p>

<p>Ummmmm I’m kinda late with this but…Hi! I’m applying EA to SFS for International History!</p>

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I’m a student at Georgetown (in the college). If you get in, it is an AWESOME choice. If any of you perhaps have some questions about student life feel free to inbox me.</p>

<p>Anyone applying EA to NHS?</p>

<p>just finished my App. Best feeling in the world. EA to SFS, like everyone else. What if we all get in and see each other in real life? o.O</p>

<p>Yeah questions.</p>

<p>whats the difference for “special talents and abilities” as compared to your activities? can you repeat some? cause i feel like some of my talents are my ec’s ya know??</p>

<p>helpp!!!</p>

<p>@murphy: I see now where you see my app to gtown . ;0 lol
basic stuff it is was realll casual. about yourself why gtown etcetc what you’d expect.</p>

<p>I’m applying RD to the College. I already had my interview, though, I don’t know why they contacted me so early.</p>

<p>Anyways, Georgetown’s a great school with perhaps the best location of any college ever. I’m a bit worried about how popular it is among my classmates and how they seem to care more about the raw GPA than how one’s grades progress over high school (in comparison to other schools), but I’m still giving it a shot and hoping that I’ll get an acceptance letter in the future!</p>

<p>Any speculations on the EA acceptance rate?</p>
