Georgetown University Transfer 2019

Do we think they will release two waves in a week?

@polyscidreamer Hopefully, I would love to know this week too.

this whole process is pretty draining tbh, i wish weā€™d be able to hear back sooner than the middle of finals prep

@ethanissavage agreed. super unfortunate

Does anyone know what happens if we applied for both fall and spring?(indicates that I didnt have a preference )

@99suhjw they consider you for fall first and if they decide not to admit you for fall then they consider you for spring

The 8:20 emails are probably pre-set

Hey everyone,

I just got this response in response to my early-read request. I applied to Govā€™t in the College. Iā€™m not sure if this means that the other responses from the College are coming that late.

ā€œX

Thank you for your email. We completely understand that other schools have varying deadlines for receiving a response from you. Will you be available on Tuesday, May 7 at 2:30pm for a brief check-in call? I may be able to give you an update at that time.

All the best,
Xā€

They did have about 300 more applicants than they had last year, so Iā€™m not surprised if decisions are coming out later, especially for majors that GU is famous for, like Govā€™t and SFS majors.

Does anyone know how I should feel about this response? Do yā€™all think itā€™s pretty neutral? I guess Iā€™ll find out in about a week. Iā€™ll be sure to update yā€™all

How many candidates do Georgetown have for this yearā€™s transfer?
And would it be easier to be accepted as sophomore?

@Ashtash I think itā€™s definitely positive. I donā€™t think theyā€™d bother calling someone who they plan on rejecting as theyā€™d be susceptible to complaints/begs by the applicantā€¦ also itā€™d be pretty awkward. I also think if they were planning on rejecting someone theyā€™d just tell them outright and not waste anyoneā€™s time.

Anyways, good luck

@Ashtash just got the same exact email with a 2:40 call appointment ā€“ good luck!

So since they told you to schedule for a call on May 7 so I assume that the majority of people will hear back on their applications on or after that?

Or otherwise it would not be an early read

@1wosba given that weā€™re both gov applicants (who typically hear back first) thatā€™s probably a safe bet.

who do I email if I want an early read lol

@Ashtash and @transferstdnt99, when did you email Georgetown about the early read? I did last week but unfortunately havenā€™t heard back yet.

Chair of undergrad admissions committee:
Kathryn Timlis
kjt4@georgetown.edu

Are we expecting decisions today at 8:20?

No one really knows, unfortunately. It could come out at any time on any day.

@bvbchamps I just emailed the transfer admissions email
