Georgetown University Fall 2016 Transfer Thread

I have a feeling they are going to email us acceptances this week…

@gtowntransfer16 Well I’m hoping you’re a psychic :smiley:

@keurimja hahaha I wish. I wouldn’t be so stressed out.

@gtowntransfer16 I suppose… I just really want to know because I have an offer from another top school, and I don’t want to jeopardize it. At the same time, I wouldn’t want to turn down Georgetown prematurely. Tough choices…

Have many mbs acceptances been sent out yet? If i havent heard yet should i be worrying?

Accepted to MSB!

@Widmanstatten Congratulations! I didn’t think they were accepting anyone else… I hope you don’t mind my next few questions. When did you get the notification? And would you mind posting stats please?

Thats awesome, congratulations! Hopefully they send out a couple more this week.

I don’t know if this will ease any of your worries, but I just called the admissions office and the person on the phone said they review applications based on location/regions and that they are currently still reviewing many of them, but that we will hear back by June 1st.

good stuff, congrats. what time did the email come?

sorry if my question has already been answered, I haven’t followed the thread too closely… Have people started to hear back? What do the acceptance/rejection emails look like (sometimes the subject line will be different depending on the decision)? Are people reaching out to individuals at the university to find out?

@brianneo96 Yes, people have been hearing back since the beginning of May. Unsure what acceptance/rejection emails look like. People have reached out to individuals at the University for “expedited decisions” although these are not concrete decisions they are good indicators of outcome.

Any acceptances today?

Well, I emailed for an expedited decision… I hope I hear back soon

Alrighty, guess I will be the first to post news of a denial. I emailed my admissions officer (I had her info from when she contacted me to get some documents). She, of course, said “it is not certain” but we all know it is. I am just glad that I didn’t bank on GU. I applied and was accepted on a full ride to GWU so I am going to embrace that and be happy to be saving some serious money :slight_smile:
I wish the best to all those left waiting on an answer and just keep in mind that it will not be the end of the world if denied. GU is a great school but an education in itself is what really matters! We all work far too hard for our grades and extracurrics to lose sight of that! Good luck in your future endeavors whether they be at Georgetown or your “safety school” !!

@smoore0113 im sorry to hear that but congrats on GW!! If you dont mind me asking, what school did you apply to?

Got accepted into the College via email just about 25 minutes ago!

@AnovaMK thats awesome!!! congrats!
