Georgetown SFS Transfer Student Waitlist?

<p>I was apparently waitlisted - I didnt know they waitlisted transfer students...</p>

<p>I too was waitlisted. I asked this on the transfer forum too...does anyone know roughly how many applicants get placed on the waiting list?</p>

<p>I have no idea, but im assuming not a whole lot - their max would be 200 (thats how many they accepted) and their min is anyones guess. Im just happy I made the waitlist - now, only if luck is on my side July 15th....</p>

<p>By the way, what were your stats?</p>

<p>someone got in last year after she repealed her rejection...perhaps you can appeal your waitlist placement?</p>

<p>I would, but time is not on my side and I know already that the effort needed to be put into these appeals are far too much for me to devote time to right now. I guess ill just have to hang in there for now.</p>

<p>has anyone who was waitlisted heard back yet?</p>

<p>Nope - I was told there would be no info until July 15th.</p>

<p>thanks outono! </p>

<p>oh, and in response to your above question (sorry i didn't see it til now), my stats aren't too impressive...finished with a 3.75 college gpa, 3.88 hs gpa, and a 27 on the act (unfortunately i've always been a hooorrible standardized test taker). luckily my interview went very well, my essays and recs were good, and i also sent in a couple supplemental forms about some awards i received second semester...ehh so we'll see i guess. </p>

<p>did u apply to transfer as a sophomore or jr? and where ru from/what r ur stats?</p>

<p>I applied as a transfer student coming from UC Irvine - ill be a Junior next year. My stats:</p>

<p>3.78 GPA, Econ major - Italian language minor - 1280 SAT, Make a Wish Foundation Intern, President of Undergraduate Business Association, other extra-curric and volunteer/club stuff</p>

<p>Interview went great - turns out the guy wanted to do the same thing I did, we went to the same high school - i pretty much conducted the interview, he didnt know what to say!</p>

<p>Rec was great - it said I was my prof. inspiration, etc..</p>

<p>essay was on working for an intl non profit like that of Billy Shore's.</p>

<p>Even if I get in from the waitlist, I wont go. Ive decided to go to NYU instead.</p>

<p>I was accepted the following as a transfer: UCLA, UCSD, UC Berkeley, Boston U (Dean Scholar), NYU, waitlisted Georgetown. Oh well. Good luck man - I really hope things work out for you.</p>

<p>just to throw this out there... It would be brilliant if you could help us out and tell Georgetown you wont attend if admitted. That's asking a bit but it would be greatly appreciated. Cheers and congrats on getting into so many schools.</p>

<p>I understand where youre coming from, but my chances of getting are probably slim as it is. I will still consider Georgetown ONLY IF I get enough money from them, however, I have little to no clue how much aid they provide - especially for someone coming off of a waitlist. So im sorry to say I wont be calling them to tell'em I wont be attending period - I worked way too hard on my application to just back out - best of luck though.</p>

<p>yeah no prob, it was worth a shot.
so I guess we all get mail by the 15th?</p>

<p>rejected.....</p>

<p>nooo way! u got a letter in the mail already? gdubz im so sorry to hear that :( im sure they had veeery few spots to give to those of us on the waiting list...boo. oh well, GU's loss.</p>

<p>outono, i thought you said you wouldnt go to gu because youve already decided on nyu...now ur story changes? hmm, interesting...well congrats on the acceptances.</p>

<p>I said I wouldnt go as of now because I have decided on NYU, HOWEVER, if I am offered enough money, then yes, I will go. As I said before, why the hell would I opt out of the waitlist if I busted my ass for two years to get this far with GTown?</p>

<p>yeah the letter was very strangely written but it seemed like they didn't go to the waitlist. I could be very wrong considering i got the letter and live in LA.</p>

<p>So are you saying nobody was accepted off of the waitlist?</p>

<p>it was a confusing letter. I'd wait and see.</p>

<p>For those of you wishing to know what the letter states:</p>

<p>"...Candidates offered admission had to confirm their intention to enroll by June 15. As of this date, all of our transfer spaces have been filled. Although it is likely a few will change their plans before the fall, it is clear further consideration of candidates will not be possible. While this must be viewed as a final decision for now, it would be possible for you to apply again next year should your interest in Georgetown continue."</p>

<p>It appears, from the letter, that NOBODY from the waitlist got in.</p>

<p>yup, bloody SFS</p>
