Georgetown University Fall 2016 Transfer Thread

Out of all of those that got accepted, are there any rising sophomores?

@lgfromdc me

has anyone who’s emailed for an expedited decision heard back?

Do you guys think they released all the decisions already?

@gtowntransfer16 someone got accepted yesterday so im not giving up yet

@hershey789 I am feeling so pessimistic tbh…

For those who are applying to SFS, admission officer said before that they would welcome only about 20 transfer students to SFS this year.

has anyone contacted gtown about how many MSB transfer they would accept?

@rowan66 where’d you hear this from?

damn rip. only 20. im def not getting in then

Guys, Georgetown runs one of the worst admissions programs, and I am not at all surprised by the confusion here. All I can say is, as a SFS applicant, they have treated me very poorly through this whole process, with a lot of miscommunication. However, I have already been accepted to three Ivies, and will be heading to Columbia this fall.

So I can speak non-objectively when I say you guys deserve better. If you are competitive for this school, I am sure other schools would also love to have you. In any case, If I get accepted I am sure I will make someone on the wait-list really happy!

@vettransfer2016 I attended an information session for transfer students at GU in February, and the dean mentioned the approximate number that they will accept as transfer students this year. I heard other schools’ too, but since I focused more on information about SFS where I apply to, I cannot say for sure about other schools’. But I think all schools wouldn’t have much difference in terms of its competitiveness.

Ugh. 20 slots only… Makes the light at the end of the tunnel much more dimmer for my prospectives here.

@NewYorkBound12 Congrats to you! Lucky you don’t have to suffer with us. So good to hear you found a new college to start anew at.

I was totally freaked out by the number when I was at the information session too. And I knew i would probably be the last person to get into considering my stats, but still couldn’t give up applying there since GU is just my dream school.

I hope you guys will hear back great news from GU soon!

TWENTY APPLICANTS FOR SFS? How is that even possible? Are all Ives and top tier schools like this? i know they don’t accept a lot of applicants but 20 only is just devastating…

just got an email back from the admission person that is handling SFS. I requested expedited decision and she just said it’s still being reviewed by the committee, but at this point it is “most likely denied”

breaks my heart, but I guess it eases the stress to know sooner than later.

That must be the same for MSB students… Ugh

According to one of the students who is accepted to MSB from my institution, the acceptance letter says she is one of the 150 admitted students out of 2,100 applicants. It kinda makes sense that each school welcomes about 20-30 students, though. And I guess that this really low admission rate has something to do with their campus plan agreement that the university must stay under the enrollment cap of 6,675 students.

@ozonegirl112 that’s a bummer. when did you ask for an expedited decision?

@vettransfer2016 yesterday morning
