<p>^^ maybe a few days sooner if history repeats itself!</p>
<p>I’m so nervous! ahhh! Yea, I keep going back and forth thinking I’ll get in or that I’ll get deferred. At least things are getting pretty busy at school so I have some kind of distraction from the agony of waiting - I wonder how many people apply for early action? Does anyone know?</p>
<p>Last year 6,201 EA applications were submitted.
3,496 for the college (18% accepted)
1,290 for SFS (18% accepted)
1,019 for MSB and (18% accepted)
396 for the Nursing School (20% accepted)</p>
<p>I doubt EA apps will increase significantly because of the economy and there are fewer people nationally in the class of 2010 than in 2009. In fact, the app count may decrease for those reasons. Who knows… but if it does increase, it for sure won’t increase by more than a few hundred.</p>
<p>I think it’s a bit funny that we all apply EA since RD has higher acceptance percentages (not by much, but up to 3% for SFS).</p>
<p>I actually read somewhere that EA apps at Gtown are projected to increase because of the increasing popularity of ED, SCEA, or complete abolishment of early admissions programs. Georgetown is one of only a handful of top colleges with a non-restrictive EA program.
Why apply early? So they don’t have to see my subpar SAT IIs!</p>
<p>Well they probably WILL increase because more kids want to go to college. But that increase might not be as high as usual for the reasons I stated above. Who knows. But I really don’t think it will increase a whole lot like Duke.</p>
<p>The Hoya
“The number of early applicants for the class of 2014 is similar to past years, Deacon said. The financial stress of accepting, however, is what will ultimately affect the overall yield.”</p>
<p>So similar numbers it is.</p>
<p>Would G’town receive November SAT scores in time to review for EA decisions?</p>
<p>^^I think if you indicated on your application (whether there was a spot to do that, I do not remember) that you took the Nov SAT, then they should wait for it… I think</p>
<p>JohnRamboMcCain, do you have the link to that article? I can’t find it!</p>
<p>Deacon’s statement appears in an article that was published on Oct. 6, well before the EA deadline.</p>

<p>Well that’s odd…</p>
<p>that is odd, i’m sorry for not noting the weirdness in the date.
i guess they worked off of the Part I of the application based off of past year’s numbers by then?</p>
<p>yes, the date mix up there is weird.</p>
<p>yesterday, i came home to massive envelope.
my heart skipped a beat.
i was NOT ready yet mentally to hear from Georgetown!</p>
<p>turns out it was a humongous congratulatory letter from UVa for my school nominating me for the Jefferson scholarship!</p>
<p>anyone else have similar panic stories??!</p>
<p>guesses on the earliest d day could come?</p>
<p>^I can’t see anybody receiving responses any earlier than Monday the 14th. </p>
<p>My mini-panic story (not really though): </p>
<p>When I was on my GU campus visit, my dad and I walked out of Healey Hall through the front doors. I looked down at the seal as we walked over it, making some stupid remark, “Hey, good thing we’re not at the University of Michigan. Remember they told us that anyone who steps on the seal will fail their first exam?” to which my dad gave a chuckle. </p>
<p>30 minutes later on our tour: </p>
<p>Tour Guide: “Legend has it if you walk over the seal as a student, you won’t graduate…”</p>
<p>Me: “Phew, good thing I’m not a student.”</p>
<p>Tour Guide: “…if you walk over it as a prospective student you will be rejected from the university…”</p>
<p>^My dad turns to mocks me.</p>
<p>Tour Guide: “…and if you’re the parent of a prospective student and walk over it, you won’t get financial aid.”</p>
<p>^Dad is silenced.</p>
<p>… ■■■ moment</p>
<p>LOL^^
I did something similar, I sorta stepped on the corner during our tour… don’t know if it counts though. They have a similar superstition at the University of Chicago, however it is a gold school seal on the inside of their student center.</p>
<p>at my school its a double legacy, recruited athlete, and urm (me) all vying for a chance at georgetown ea.</p>
<p>can it get any worse?</p>
<p>OH MY GOD I STEPPED ON THE CORNER OF THE SEAL.</p>
<p>They know!! The admissions counselors know!</p>
<p>^^ you could all get in? haha</p>
<p>I’m serious, moralitycougar… they DO</p>
<p>I had stopped to look at a classroom, and then fell behind… So I ran to catch up. Just as my foot touched the seal… The guide said, “Good job, none of you guys touched the seal! None of you will be doomed then.” And my stomach sank.</p>
<p>Don’t pay it any matter, it’s up to the admissions people haha. But it’s a nice little story.</p>
