hi everybodyyy. since i couldn’t find any thread relating to guq admission, i created one here.i am extremely nervous about getting into guq.its honestly my dream school but i really dont know if i can make it or not.i have 3A*3A 3B in o levels and and 1130 SAT score.my AS level grades are BBB.i have good extracurricular but my stats especially my SAT score is extremely low. please feel free to share your experience applying there or anything regarding applying to GUQ.
Dw man!!!
As someone who’s applying to Education City Universities in Qatar, I totally feel it.
To be honest, your SAT score isn’t bad. I know a person who studies at Georgetown Qatar and I asked him the average SAT scores of the C of 2023. Unofficially, he told me Georgetown had an average SAT of 1150, so it’s good. Plus, the university states it had an acceptance rate of 50% last year, which is competitive but not very hard to get into.
But yea, I’ll say that ace other parts of your application to have a good shot of getting in. I still know people with 1400s who are also applying. I am applying to Texas A&M Qatar and Carnegie Mellon Qatar.
I have almost similar stats like yours. I have 6A* 2A 1B in O Levels. 2A 1B in AS, with 1A* 2A predicted A2 grades. 1300 SAT, which I believe is not very great but still a decent score for these universities.
As for the ECs, I am the founder of a nonprofit charity in my country with government support and mass level plantation drives and awareness campaigns in 7 cities of the country. I’ve developed an environmental sustainability mobile application which is under testing. I am a national level artist. I’ve won a few district-level awards in table tennis. Runners up in national Balsa Wood Glider competition. a few other awards too…
Honestly, I would suggest you nail the essays and your recommendation letters. These are the most under-estimated parts of the application, and they carry a lot of weightage. Develop strong relations with your teachers over the years so you can get strong recommendations. Be yourself in your essays…
I would like if we can talk over this as it could help us both…
thankyou so much man.this really did make me feel relieved.
and sure we can talk,no worries. im sure it will help us!
Guys!!! I’m freaking out I got 5As 2 Bs in O-Levels and predicted BBB and a C and I’m freaking out, I didn’t do any extracurricular and my ACT was 20 which is way below 1150 ( if you convert it) I had hope of getting in but now I’m screwed
guys what about the controlled writing excercise?how did that go? how strict are they about it?
they waived my CWE so I have no idea.
The CWE was pretty interesting, they focus more on the sentence structure and basic grammar rather than the content itself, there are three essay topics to choose from and we have to build our argument by giving examples. The topics are pretty general and they do not require any prior knowledge at all in fact I had fun while writing my CWE
They waived my CWE because I submitted my SAT Essay Score instead.
Does anyone know about the interview invitation send-out date (as discussed in GUQ '23’s thread)?
awaiting their email for the interview.
My interview is on the 24th.i really hope it goes well.
Good look to everyone else appearing for it as well 
@adensuleman Did you receive the invitation by mail or postal? I haven’t received one yet 
They emailed me.
Do they send in waves or something? So worried I haven’t received any. @adensuleman May I ask what is written in the email? Did they say you were among the selected applicants to be invited to the interview round?
I don’t think you should be worrying about it. Interviews arnt an indication of admissibility of an applicant. Or they can even send you an invite for it later in Feb maybe.
The email for the invite was pretty simple and said that I should register for my Interview asap. That’s about it I guess.
Best of luck!
Anybody else having their interviews? I’m quite nervous about what they would ask us 
I just received the invitation today. It seems like it’s a must for the applicant so everyone will soon get it
@adensuleman Sorry for the late reply but how was your interview? Do you have anything to share with us?
Just had mine! It was a relatively relaxed kind of a interview, more like a conversation. I Just need prayers now lol.
I hope yours goes well
Still haven’t got mine…
Hi,guys my cwe was bad, grades are good. I don’t believe everyone gets an interview and it’s nothing to worry about.
I hated my cwe and am worried about some stupid spelling errors
