<p>Do you go into the regular decision applicant pool? In which case, you need to submit all your test scores by the RD deadline? And do you need to reapply again? Or just send any new scores?</p>
<p>Also does GU know that you've already been deferred and you're reapplying, or do they just view you as a fresh RD applicant???</p>
<p>If you are deferred than you are automatically put into the regular decision pool. If you have additional scores to send, then you have to send them by the RD deadline.</p>
<p>"The Committee on Admissions has completed its review of your application for admission under its Early Action plan. I am sorry to tell you that the Committee has decided to defer your application until the Regular Decision period.</p>
<p>This is the deferral letter:</p>
<p>Georgetownās Early Action program is a first round competition for a limited number of spaces. The Committee on Admissions uses a similar admit rate as expected in the Regular Decision period to ensure that all candidates have equal chance of acceptance. Thus, Early action is especially competitive as offers are only granted to those candidates whom we are certain would be accepted regardless of the strength of the remaining applicant pool. </p>
<p>Please be aware that an Early Action deferral will not adversely affect your final decision. In recent years approximately 10% of the applicants deferred under the Early Action plan have been accepted in April. No further application is necessary for Regular Decision consideration. Results of your first semester grades, as well as senior testing and any additional information you choose to submit will be added to your folder for this final review. The Committee will send you a final answer on April 1, 2010. </p>
<p>We look forward to receiving further word of your progress. We appreciate your continued interest in Georgetown University.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>No point in resubmitting scores unless a) you didnāt submit SAT IIs and b) your scores improved.</p></li>
<li><p>You donāt reapply ā it automatically puts you into the RD pool.</p></li>
<li><p>They say they look at you as a new candidate, but I donāt know how true that is, because approximately 19% of EA and RD applicants are accepted, but only 10% of deferred EA applicants are accepted. So the second time around, your chances are cut in half.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>The low acceptance rate for EA deferrals is because gtown does not reject any EA students. therefore those that would have been rejected br were deferred gt rejected in RD and bring down the acceptance rate</p>
<p>^ that should have said ābut were deferred get rejectedā sorry for the typo, and I couldnāt edit =(</p>
<p>i understand the date for early action is December 15th, but does anyone know if that means decisions are emailed that day? or are letters sent out that day?</p>
<p>Letters have already been sent out! Thy were sent out on the 11th. As for international emails, I am dying to find out too</p>
<p>snap, that means itāll be here soon. thank you very much.</p>
<p>Does anyone know of someone that was deferred but got in RD? Also, do we need to request another transcript from our schools or will Georgetown directly contact the guidance dept?</p>
<p>Should we send a letter to Georgetown reiterating our interest in the school? Itās still my top choice.</p>
<p>I think Iām going to. Iām beyond upset and my stats are significantly higher than a lot of early admission people so Iām confused as well. It just bothers me that it was by far my #1 and some people got in early while their interest lies in other schools. Iām going to send my latest set of scores (small increase in SAT verbal, 760 to 790, and 2 subject tests) and some type of āI love your school and this is why you should let me inā letter.</p>
<p>So basically slpxx16 youāre appealing the decision? Has anyone ever heard of this working?</p>
<p>No, not appealing, simply making it clear that itās my #1 choice and I would definitely attend if admitted. Since the program is early action and not decision there is nowhere to put this on the app. Itās just going to be a short couple paragraphs in a cover letter in the package with my first semester senior grades and another recommendation, if I can find one. They encourage you to send new additional information, and Iām doing the letter on the advice of my guidance counselor, college counselor, and parents. I donāt see how it could hurt if I simply point of that Gtown is my number 1.</p>
<p>Supposedly deferred people are separated into 3 piles, ranked from highly qualified to not qualified (basically, people that should have been rejected). I think anything you can do to help solidify your position in the āhighly qualifiedā pile is helpful.</p>
<p>I hate thisā¦ why couldnāt they just tell me if they didnāt want me?</p>
<p>I got my deferral letter today despite my 2400 SATs and 4.0 weighted GPA :[</p>
<p>I kind of wish Georgetown did reject EA, so then Iād know if I still had a chanceā¦or which pile Iād be in.</p>
<p>I had 2090 on my SATās, Iām a white male, I have a 4.42 weighted GPA and I got on early acceptance. I say all of this to imply that there is hope for anyone who was recently deferred. Many of the stats you all have given are far superior to mine, so simply up your credentials and pray for the best. </p>
<p>GU CLASS OF 2014!!!</p>
<p>i was also deffered from early action, and i think that sending a supplementary letter stating your interest in georgetown would only help, any college would love to see that this is one of the applicants top choices, and not just a back up. so ill deffinately be sending in a letter, good luck to the rest of you! hopefully weāll get in regular decision</p>
<p>If you are deferred do you have to submit SAT SUBJECT TESTS? The reason I applied to Georgetown EA was because it was the only school that required them, and if I did EA I did not have too.</p>
<p>I was deferred EA two years ago, and I sent one additional letter of recommendation and was accepted RD. Since coming to Georgetown, Iāve actually met a lot of people who were deferred but later accepted. So donāt automatically consider a deferral a premature rejection. Good luck!</p>
