Accepted to the College!
S21 got into Georgetown College! Goals - political economy degree, law school, and political policy.
Stats:
Very good interview - told interviewer GT was #1 on his list
ACT - 35
SAT - 1550
GPA - 3.98
WGPA - 5.23
5 APs (3, 3 4s, 5)
ECs (student council exec 3 years, Interact exec 2 years, political campaigns)
Good essays I think - although under “special talents” he listed pyromaniac as one item and I cringed.
Those deferred, get those letters of continued interest in and goodluck!!!

I’m curious if anyone was accepted without a test score. My son made 5 attempts at the SAT and all were canceled so he has applied without a score (and is currently deferred).
Daughter was accepted to the College today without a SAT as she signed up about 5-6 times but all tests were cancelled. Mitigated by all 5s on APs and top student at top private high school. Recognize top 25 schools admissions are random so feel lucky she was accepted.
My insta is also @bcward7 hmu there if you got accepted!
My S21 hopes to meet you - also econ, loves politics. A liberal who gets to escape a small Southern town and go to DC, beyond excited.
@hoya91 my son just went through the same journey as you and starts in January. It was tough and unexpected. He is super happy. What did you end up doing with your SFS knowledge?
@kiwimeister Decided international business was more my route. Went to Wharton for my MBA and joined Ford in marketing. Relocated with Ford many times including Germany, China, and New Zealand (total of 12 years overseas). Wondering if your username has links to one or two of those countries?
@kiwimeister Oh, and congatulations to your son! Perseverance and big dreams pay off!
Awesome! Yes Kiwis, Have been here for 4 and a half years and loving it. I believe he wants to be involved in foreign policy making in NZ and trade relationships between US/NZ. What years were you in NZ, I owned a marketing agency 2006-2020 so our paths may have crossed.
@kiwimeister - sent you a PM
Any legacies that were deferred. My daughter was just deferred.

I bet he’ll get accepted RD because I just got accepted EA and our stats are very similar. Mine are 34 ACT, 4.0 uw GPA, 12 APS (5 senior year, 3 4s, 4 5s), national merit, and multiple leadership roles (theatre teacher, chair and developer of a statewide civic engagement nonprofit, and more). I’m a white girl from MT for context

Can you explain the letter of cont. interest? My son says he can’t find anything about that. TIA!
Basically, “Thanks for considering me, GT is still my number one choice for these reasons, and I think I would be an excellent contributor to the school for these other reasons.” It’s important to stay upbeat - no “I’m devastated,” even when you are.
Tell him to hang in there!
