Georgetown Transfer Decisions

Transfer Students
81

<p>Nspeds,</p>

<p>I too find it extremely odd that nobody has recieved a rejection. I called Georgetown admissions and was very honest with them. I told them that I would much rather hear that they were waiting to send out their rejections at one time so I would not have to deal with the dissapointment of opening a rejection letter. I have been told repeatedly that students have been rejected. All I can do is have faith in what I was told. But, I simply do not understand why people have not been rejected on this board. It makes me feel very uncomfortable about tuesdays decision.</p>

<p>So nobody has an estimate on final GPA weight? I mean is a 0.1 or a 0.2 drop going to cause a revocation?</p>

83

<p>Perhaps you could call and ask...</p>

84

<p>Yeah Hank,</p>

<p>Unfortunately we cannot give you a valid answer.</p>

<p>Don't quote me on this, but I highly highly doubt it. A 0.1 drop would stem from what? recieving a B+ instead of an A-? </p>

<p>I don't think a B here or there is going to raise any eyebrows. It's when C's and D's start appearing that admissions sometimes get revoked.</p>

87

<p>Yeah, I have one B+ and one B this semester (the rest are A/A-). It is frustrating because while I enrolled in two upper-level courses as a freshman this semester (and excelled in them), the B's are in intro classes. I know that the reason for this is that my university mandates how many A's, B's, ect... that a teacher must award, and in introduction classes they cannot really gauge how apt a student is. The result is grading that is nearly arbitrary. Regardless, I plan to fight the teacher that gave me a B, and to file formal complaints against her if necessary.</p>

88

<p>Mail today? Anyone?</p>

89

<p>I will know by 3:45pm CST. </p>

<p>The fact that northrams has yet to receive a decision is reassuring; if Georgetown were mailing acceptances only to the strongest applicants, then he would have received one by now:)</p>

<p>LOL true. Nice observation :)</p>

<p>LOL...I feel you buddy</p>

<p>I'd have a 3.9 something but I got a B in creative writing, a B- in poetry, classes that I took during the summer just for fun. I just hope Georgetown realizes that I've gotten all A's in my PoliSci courses and courses related directly to PoliSci (Statistics, Philosophy, History, etc)</p>

92

<p>I Got In!!!</p>

93

<p>Excusing my liberal capitalization of words, here are my stats:
HS GPA: 2.3
College GPA: 3.82/3.914 (23 hours/35 hours)
SAT: 1490 (690M/800V)
Plenty of Extra-Curriculars (you may send my a private message for the list)</p>

94

<p>Letter came today? SFS right? What did it say and when was it postmarked? FinAid?</p>

95

<p>I did not apply for FinAid. I applied for College (Philosophy) and the letter is dated May 17th.</p>

96

<p>Cool, congrats! R u attending?</p>

97

<p>Thanks:)</p>

<p>I will most probably attend.</p>

98

<p>Nspeds, what was the envelope like. Small, big, regular?</p>

99

<p>congrats, nspeds. You certainly deserves it.</p>

<p>The envelope was regular, but thick due to the documents within.</p>

<p>Thanks blackdream:)</p>
