Georgetown Transfer Thread

<p>Here is my stats:</p>

<p>From Rutgers, NJ
GPA: 3.75/4.00</p>

<p>Multi-language speaker, speaking English, Chinese, Japanese, limited Spanish and Dutch. Finished my high school in Australia and Nederland.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars: founder of high school’s website; working as marketing manager for a leading European company in fashion industry for three years; investment consultation for one year.</p>

<p>PS:
I just sent an email to the lady who has been taking care of my application for a while, to confirm whether I was actually rejected (I really don’t want wait for another 7-10 days for the snail mail); besides, I wanted to know what I can do to improve myself, because I surely will apply for transfer again next year.</p>

<p>clarification: i meant rejections/waitlists are sent out by mail and acceptances by both. that’s why i said that they should just send out the rejections/waitlists by email instead because it’s more convenient >.></p>

<p>Do you think they’ll have a large waitlist?</p>

<p>I was wondering if there would be a lot of correlation between ‘acceptance Emails’ and ‘Rejection letters’. Do they really send acceptance letters through Email first? I mean, if the admissions did not contact me until now and they have began to send out results, does it supposed to mean that I am either rejected/waitlisted?</p>

<p>If you haven’t heard of anything, there is still chance you may get waitlisted, rejected or even accepted. </p>

<p>I suggest not to try to call them and intentionally collect the clues from their response, because I did that; admissions won’t say anything, it is not helpful and there is nothing useful coming out of it. No matter what I ask, their response is identical: “you will know your decision by deadline - June 1” (I personally take that as a polite rejection)</p>

<p>Also, I did research on the information regarding transfer decision over the past a few years, even though most acceptances were given through email first then a snail mail since the college started using web-based application system, there are still some ppl receiving the acceptance only by mail occasionally. Hence, there are still hopes.</p>

<p>Guys, just one week left. Good luck!</p>

<p>Agreed with maxwine. But the amount of ppl getting accepted late/at this point is small. Most of the acceptances were out early May. I don’t think the waitlist will be that big, and I don’t think there’ll be a lot of ppl who will get off the waitlist because gtown does offer really nice transfer student financial aid in comparison with other schools. So matriculation might be fairly high. :/</p>

<p>I e-mailed the admissions officer in charge of my app (with updates on summer plans, and my grades), but I did not receive a response. Any advice?</p>

<p>@84, please tell us what your officer says while you hear from him/her. Although I assume he would say exactly the same as what my officer said “you will know your decision by our deadline”, I still wanna know whether this is just a uniformed response for everyone (which may give me a little bit hope), or it actually means game over just for me…</p>

<p>I feel dumb asking this…but how do you find out who your officer is?? </p>

<p>Thank you!!</p>

<p>It seems unfair to release acceptances by email first and rejections/waitlists by snail mail. Why not release all decisions on one day at the same time?</p>

<p>Ayt,
I just called the undergraduate admissions office and they said that all transfer decision letters were mailed yesterday, Eastern Time.
I am an internationally student and I just arrived home. I did not put my home address on the form and they mailed it to college where I am currently enrolled. I explained them my situation that there is no way I can check the mail but as I was told I have to wait till 1st of June and after that contact the counselor.
I guess all we have to do now is wait</p>

<p>Good luck to all you guys,
fingers crossed for you and for me :)</p>

<p>Keep us posted about your decision ;)</p>

<p>Accepted transfers, have any of you gotten your NETID yet? Last night I got an email about my financial aid and it was addressed to two emails, my gmail and a Georgetown email that looks like it’s mine, but they still haven’t given me my NETID or any instructions on how to access it :confused: I still haven’t gotten the transfer credit evaluation for that matter.</p>

<p>Oh it’s worth mentioning that I got accepted way back on April 27.</p>

<p>I got my letter in the mail today…and rejected. I’m not really too upset even though it was my number 1 I feel like it is their loss when I got accepted to BC and most ranking have BC before Georgetown.</p>

<p>Just got my letter with official rejection. I need a few days to calm down first, then I will open up a thread for Georgetown transfer for 2013 if nobody else gonna do it. Wish you all good luck and I am sure all you guys are excellent enough to shine, no matter where you are. :)</p>

<p>yup, got the letter today too. oh wells. looks like most of the waitlisted got in this year. congrats to everyone else!</p>

<p>@gormansys: Sorry, I meant to say I haven’t gotten the password I need to login. I looked through the FAQ and it looks like I have to email them with my photo ID? It said it would take 2-4 weeks after getting my acceptance letter, but I got accepted on April 27 so it’s been four weeks already.</p>

<p>S1 Rejected by Georgetown today. Accepted to Cornell, NYU (Stern) and BC.
Will be attending Cornell (Dyson) as Sophomore Transfer. Good luck to all</p>

<p>Rejected, though there’s always grad school.</p>
