Wait list is not the same as being deferred to Regular Decision especially in the case of legacy applicants.

I removed my post to avoid any confusion. I am aware that there is a difference between a waitlist and and a defer. The number of students who accepted a spot on the waitlist and were eventually admitted was 86.

Here’s the Common Data Set though for Georgetown which I still think is helpful. Box

Yes my daughter was deferred too.

132

have you guys received an email to join the facebook group? i know some people have but i haven’t gotten one yet.

133

no, i haven’t

That’s the same letter we got. I and my father both graduated from GU. It sounds like they sent that to legacies that they weren’t sure would get it until Spring if at all.

You should have a great chance then.

my insta is @liettaioannou for anyone who was also accepted and wants to talk! :slight_smile:

I don’t know how much legacy status actually helps in the end. The applicant pool is so strong.

You don’t need a formal invitation. You can request to join the group and an official GAAP member will let you in.

141

What’s the group?

142

it’s called ‘The Georgetown University Class of 2025 - Official GAAP Group’

Anyone have any advice when it comes to the special skills essay? Should I write in bullet point form or an essay about a specific skill of mine?

145

do whatever feels right. i did 6-8 bullets and was accepted EA

146

did you explain every skill or did you just list them?

147

i only explained 3 out of the 9 I listed

My daughter was deferred. We’re already thinking about the possibility of her entering another school and transferring if she doesn’t get in as a Freshman. So far, we have identified George Washington as a good place for her to attend if it doesn’t work out. Are there any other schools that you would recommend where the International Relations program is strong? Must have strong foreign language programs, too. Thanks!

hi im just a HS senior but I would def recommend American University !

I know that Georgetown has a lower than typical acceptance rate for EA compared to other competitive schools (where statistically students have a higher chance of acceptance if they apply EA/ED). Does anyone have any idea as to whether a deferral on EA to Georgetown is really the same as a gentle denial (as it is at most other schools?) Or is there still a legitimate chance for admission?

151

I was thinking the same since they defer everyone. Then To find out you’re on the wait list
