<p>i mean seriously...i know Georgetown can't control the weather/mail service...but waiting until the 17th to hear is kind of a big deal, that's two less days I have to work on other applications if I get deferred....why wouldn't they send out the notifications on Tues or Wed, so everyone would actually get them by the 15th as promised...i'm going crazy and just want this day to be over.....anyone with me here?</p>
<p>Agreedddddddddddddddd</p>
<p>yeah seriously, i mean i have a crapload of homework to do this weekend, but since i havent heard yet, i have to assume the negative and do more applications instead and put off the homework</p>
<p>yeah...i'm kind of just hoping for the best/procrastinating....i don't want to have to fill out other apps...but i have only applied to Gtown, Tufts, and Harvard...so I'm basically dead if I get deferred...trying not to think about it.....</p>
<p>yeah my mom tried to convince me to start other apps today, but I was so upset yesterday having been convinced that I got deferred that I have sooo much regular homework to do!! stupid sundayyy!!!</p>
<p>hannie i laughed so hard when i read this thread title....</p>
<p>omg it is so true!! </p>
<p>ahhh this weekend has been such a waste, at least 10 people have called me asking for my acceptance status and all i could do was grunt that the mail was late and hang up lol</p>
<p>And to tick you off even more, it appears on the Parents EA thread that Gtown is the only school out there that didn't move its mailing date up to make sure their EA decisions were received before today.</p>
<p>uggg...i know, pple keep asking me...i just want everyone to go away until tm afternoon...i'm so irritable....i don't think i want to call though, because I would have to call in school and i don;t want to start crying or something and have to be there the rest of the day if I get deferred....</p>
<p>union111, get out of here if you don't have anything useful/related to say</p>
<p>there is no way i have the guts to call....i'll receive my news in the privacy of my own home...i am too much of a crier lol </p>
<p>anyways ripping open the letter in the midst of all this "email'd decision notification" feels kinda cool and old school :)</p>
<p>I'm so scared. I have a major essay due tomorrow and a final, both of which I havent started because I'm so nervous about GT. </p>
<p>I know this sounds pathetic, but I'm seriously going to have a nervous breakdown at school. I hope the wait is worth it.</p>
<p>I guess I'm in a better position than a lot of you since Georgetown isn't actually my first choice. But don't worry, it's not Harvard or Princeton, I'm not one of those people who are making it harder for you. :) I'm already done with all my applications but I'm still a nervous wreck. I don't like sitting around waiting. But I just decided that I am going to wait until the letter comes even though that probably won't be until later in the week because I want to experience my first decision to the fullest, which means staring at the envelope and ripping it open and unfolding the letter and reading "deferred".</p>
<p>georgetown isnt actually my first choice either, but if i dont get in I will still be really upset, i dont want to have to do any more apps (although ive already sent 10 in)</p>
<p>You two kind of make me angry, because you are taking spots that other people actually really do want above all others. I made it clear in my second essay that Gtown was my first choice, and pointed out all the ways that it fitted my interests and stuff. Hopefully making that clear will help me out, since they like to have a high yield rate. But what apply early action if a school isn't among your top choices? That's just taking away spots from people who really want them.</p>
<p>Sorry if I sound combative...my nerves are on end here, and I can't expect a letter until Tuesday or Wednesday.</p>
<p>I sort of agree with you, shapeofhome, because Georgetown is my first choice as well, but I think applicants like kovax14 or gub just want to know they're in somewhere, so it's hard to fault them entirely.</p>
<p>yeah. i kind of wish gtown had ea restrictive or ed because i think students who will end up at harvard/princeton/uva/etc. are applying just so they're in somewhere, and gtown might end up with a small class because people are going to deny their admissions. hmm...maybe it'll help the waitlisters though!</p>
<p>Hmm I don't know if that would help anything because, for instance, Gtown is my first choice but I wouldn't apply early if they were ED. I hate the idea of being forced to go somewhere; I want to keep all my options open, especially this early.</p>
<p>georgetown does have EA-restrictive, but not SCEA</p>
<p>shapeofhome, trust me, i made my application sound like georgetown is my first choice. I think almost everyone probably did so as well, why wouldn't you? I doubt that will have much effect. The thing is that I love georgetown and would be entirely happy to go there, but i'm applying to HYPS and a bunch of other really selective places that are just a crapshoot these days. Georgetown is by no means even remotely easy to get into, my scores aren't THAT exceptional that it would be safety or anything, but it is certainly more reasonable than several of my other schools.</p>
<p>I agree with tlesc01, Georgetown is my top choice, but I like having the ability to apply to other schools too, so that come January I will have at least one acceptance, even if it's not Georgetown.</p>
