My NetID password isn’t working…
Hey guys I just got a call! Pretty nice and very willing to answer any questions you have. I’m in Wisconsin and my caller was also from the Midwest, might’ve been a coincidence though…
Can’t believe I got in! I’m so excited!!!
Just got my phone call as well! Congrats to all those who got accepted as well!
My password is also not working. Seeing a theme for GU, as my sister who is doing a summer program had a really hard time getting her account all set up as well. Hopefully it is working soon or I will email for help!
Same, I got in, turned the financial aid info in recently, and hoping it doesn’t affect me @priestlaker
Will our financial aid be on there? I submitted my FAFSA well over 2 months ago; I’m sure they have received it by now.
@gkoehl1997 You should just call the number on your letter. The process to reset your password is easy and automated; you don’t even have to talk to a real person!
Do the callers leave a message if no one answers?
Just got my letter a bit over two hours ago! I was stalking the mail man (i’ve done this like 3 times this week) and I ran to the mailbox right after he left. I grabbed the first letter at the top of stack and opened it right outside the mailbox, I didn’t even wait to get home. I was a bit disappointed at first because my envelope said .49 cents so I thought it was a rejection letter but it was actually an application to their Community Scholars Program. I thought they had rejected me and that this was their consolation, but then i took out the rest of the mail and found the acceptance letter. I’m so beyond happy and excited! I visited this school around a year ago and back then it seemed like an unreachable dream to be accepted.
Does anyone know if being waitlisted affects financial aid opportunities?
Do the calls go to cell phones or to home phones lol.
I didn’t get a phone call but I got a letter in the mail this afternoon 
accepted, one of my top choices. Does anyone know if they give merit aid? Slash anything about the debate program
i havent received my acceptance letter but today i got a big envelope from georgetown with a brochure from the Georgetwon admissions ambassador program congratulating me on my acceptance? I’m confused because I haven’t gotten anything telling me about an acceptance other than this brochure
@maustimproved no they don’t give any merit aid 
just need-based
@TyedTyper
Would like to know too!
do you know where we check to see how much aid we received?
