Hi! Has anyone applied to Georgetown - Qatar for 2017 admissions? Have you heard anything?
@caymankathryn Hey! Yes, I did, and I just had my interview recently! They said decisions would be out early April. Have you heard anything else? And where are you from? I’m from India!
Hi! I interviewed on Tuesday last week and they sent my acceptance letter on Saturday even though it was supposed to be in April. I’m still waiting for financial aid package tho. They have also offered to fly me to GAAP day
@trianglelo Congratulations! I received mine on Saturday as well! Hope to see you soon! Where are you from, btw?
How different is the Qatar program from the U.S. College program. Whats the difference?
In addition to what @badyork said, SFS-Q has a very small teacher-student ratio, so learning is much more personalized - the overall class size is small (they’re known to be highly selective in the admission process: approx 250 students get in). Current/former students say that the quality of teaching is the same, if not better!
I am from the U.S. and I was also admitted! Super exciting! Who contacted you regarding the GAAP Day, @trianglelo and @yirinee? Has anyone heard anything about financial aid? I filled out all of the documents, but have yet to be notified of anything.
@caymankathryn Wooohooo! Congrats! Can’t wait to see you guys soon! An admissions officer named David Daniel contacted me regarding the GAAP Day, but I still haven’t heard anything about the finalized hotel/flight details… this week is going to be exciting! About the financial aid, they said that they’d let us know by April… have you applied only for CSS/FAFSA, or are you also planning to apply for HBKU financial aid loans?
Btw… are all of you on the Admitted Students portal (link is given in the acceptance letter)?
@yirinee, I have applied to all three! I just submitted the HBKU form two weeks ago. I wasn’t contacted by an admissions officer, maybe because I have not accepted enrollment yet, or maybe it’s because I am 13,000 kilometers away, which is an expensive airline ticket! … And yes, I am on the Admitted Students portal. 
@caymankathryn I just submitted my HBKU application yesterday, so I hope everything works out! I have yet to receive my flight/hotel details, but they should be sent soon, I suppose… Yes, I saw your profile on the portal! Can’t wait to see you on Friday for the Fly-in Program! Gotta begin packing my bags :))
