Georgetown Fall 2017 Transfer

@PupperthePupcake What month did you apply? Did you ask for early review?

@IvyLeague2 @Wheretogoto I submitted like end of February. I did not ask for an early review.

@IvyLeague2 You can add high school activities

Just found out that I got in. Keep a look out for an email. Mines came like two days ago, but I just saw the mail now.

Congrats @xXRedXx !! I don’t know how you weren’t checking your email on a hourly basis - I can’t help but check as much as possible

@xXRedXx congratss!!! can you share your stats? where are you transferring from???

I feel like more decisions will come out today

Aren’t they supposed to come out June 1st? Last year it was pretty late too I think.

how are people hearing?

@anonymousss123 e-mail.

@xXRedXx Could you post your statistics please?

@mish97
Both school and college GPA are around 3.8. (unweighted for high school)
Current College: UCSD
ACT: 34
SAT Math 2: 800
SAT Physics: 700
College ECs:
Interned for Senator Dianne Feinstein
Treasurer for a Health Club

I don’t have too many ECs in college, and I didn’t even mention the treasurer position in my essay. I focused my essay on my interests in politics and healthcare. I applied for Biology and Global Health btw. I talked about opportunities at Georgetown and how they would help me get farther. That was about it. I realize now, after having gone through this process twice, that the focus of the essays should be what entices you to work in the path you’re on rather than a focus of your past achievements. Basically, they care about what you see for your future.

@Robinyoursoul Thanks man! Good luck with everything!

@xXRedXx Congrats! Where are you from? What college did you apply to?

@xXRedXx thanks a lot, bud, hopefully it goes in my favor. Do you have any other acceptance offers or is GU your top pick?

@Robinyoursoul I only applied to GU so I’m fortunate that it worked out. I still have to think it over though. Financially I’m better off staying at UC San Diego since I’m from California, but I really want to go to GU. It is still up in the air for now; atleast until I find out how much aid I get.

@JGLASS18 I’m from California! Freshman at UCSD. I applied to Georgetown College.

Oh wow replies already coming in. That’s really exciting but unnerving for me lmao. Hopefully I get my response soon, I can’t wait any longer! Also, happy to say I will finish my spring semester with a 3.7 GPA :smiley: hopefully GU finds it sufficient enough with my EC’s.

I think they’re releasing decisions by major? I could be wrong but it seems like everyone who’s heard so far is bio with global heath

@a1h313 this literally is the only thing I’m counting on hahaha i was so nervous until you said that

@a1h313 good observation. I applied as just a biology major… maybe my decision is soon unless it’s a waitlist/denial haha

Just out of curiosity: are there any other prospective government transfers present? I’m wondering how many government majors the college typically admits! Congrats to those you recently heard back, I hope to see y’all next fall.
