@Mcjester, I am transfering Econ sophmore, have not heard back either. Hope they release decisions by school/major. Would be great to know soon, this waiting process is not fun.
Accepted to the college! Anyone know if thereās a groupme or facebook group set up? no idea how to connect with other transfers which is important in deciding if iām going
@user0523 I agree. And has anyone that has been accepted received their financial aid package or transfer credit evaluation?
*************ATTN: I made a Facebook for the admitted students - Georgetown Transfers - fall 2019
It is called Georgetown Transfer Student - fall 2019
Can the people who got in specify their major, if they were a sophomore/junior transfer, stats etc so itās helpful for us and future applicants
Was told I would get an early read email today - nothing yet and seeing that itās almost 1600EST, I am not counting on anything today.
Accepted MSB - Finance
Unfortunate that people arenāt posting their stats to help future applicants, so I will try my best.
Emailed me on 5-9-19 at around 5 PM PST
Stats:
~4.3 GPA HS
4.0 GPA California Community College
1520 SAT
Decent ECs: Small biz, work exp, some volunteer work
Above average essays detailing why I want Gtown and what I can do for Gtown
Additional info:
-Didnāt expect to get into MSB / Gtown in general because coming from a community college. Plus, I had to submit my subject test scores and they were awful. Guess subject tests donāt matter that much for transfers? Hope this helps.
- I applied with junior standing but I am pretty sure they will put me as a sophomore as Gtown is strict about accepting credits
I will say that this application process for transfers is a lottery. My advice is to apply to as many schools as you can apply to without sacrificing the strengths of your essays. Essays seem to be a driving factor for these schools.
Accepted NHS - Global Health (sophomore)

Hope this helps :)- again, was not expecting to get in
Waitlisted for SFS!
@poliscidreamer can you share the link? for some reason I canāt find the group
I emailed the committee chair for an early read a few days ago and was denied today. Applied to the College for CS. Really bummed out but I guess UVA it is. The little bit of hope in the email was: āAt best, a wait list spot may be on offerā
I requested an early read and was told by my committee chair to email her again at the end of this week. She then emailed me today and said to call someone next week. Does a call imply the decison will be a rejection or waitlist?
