Hello! This is a thread for any students/parents of students accepted to Georgetown’s summer programs for 2017. Please ask questions and share which program you’re doing 
Hi! I will be attending the American Politics Institute in July!
That one looked really cool! I’m doing International Relations in July (may be same week). What grade are you in? I’ve been reading these and it seems like everyone is a rising senior, but I’m a rising sophomore
I’m a rising junior
I will be at the International Relations Institute in July as well! I’m really excited!! I didn’t look into Georgetown (for college) until after I got into their summer program. See you there!!
Is it to late to apply to it? @napoleonsnowball @golfergirl19 @rachel89012
No, they accept applications on a rolling basis. Priority application deadline is April 15, but otherwise the latest you can apply is two weeks before your program starts. Here’s a link if you want some more info on applying: http://scs.georgetown.edu/departments/21/summer-programs-for-high-school-students/about-the-program/how-to-apply Hope this helps!
@ivyleague2 definitely not! Last I checked, all the programs were still available besides the medicine immersion!
@napoleonsnowball awesome! I’m so excited!! Do you know anyone else who’s going and do you know how many people go to each program?
I’m doing International Relations in July but really struggling to fund raise tuition. 
And I think 250 students are accepted to Georgetown summer school.
@yayhamlet great to hear you’ll be coming! Be sure to apply to a lot of outside scholarships/grants -> my cousin did this for a summer program and ended up getting enough money.
I thought outside scholarships only applied to actual college, unless I haven’t been looking in the right place.
I honesty don’t know anyone!! And I’m not sure how many people? I was going to call the SCS on Monday because I have a few questions about the medical info. I’ll ask when I do that!
It is so expensive !! I’ve been applying for essay scholarships all year to compensate. I really wanted to do the longer program but it was too much
International Relations II is officially at capacity!
Got the confirmation email so I’m officially registered! Can’t wait to meet all of you soon!
HI, I am attending the Business and Leadership Immersion in July!
Hi! I was just looking through threads and I’m a rising junior and planning to apply to Georgetown’s IR summer program and then eventually apply to the University. What was the IR Institute like, how was the application process like, and what tips do you have to those interested? Thank You!
@mcunerd the application process is very easy. Just have to fill out an application/survey asking questions like have you ever been suspended, have you ever gotten a detention, etc. You also have to write a 300 word essay about why you want to attend, and your counselor has to fill out a form, which I assume is about your grades, but I’m not sure.
I LOVED the IR institute! It is very lecture based, including some on terrorism, the environment, and Russia to just name a few. You typically had 2-3 lectures per day. We did a few visits, including the capitol, an embassy, and an ethnic restuarant. We also did a crisis simulation on the last day which was basically like a model UN conference.
Tips:
Bring lots of spending money!! You will go out with your friends a lot once classes are over, and the food at georgetown isn’t too great!!
Speak up and ask questions!! During the discussions your voice can make a difference.
Thank you so much! I also have one more question: Did you get an accurate vibe of how Georgetown is like from the institute? And were there any major cons for you?
