<p>no i didnt get in....SNHS regular comes by march 1st though</p>
<p>Good luck!... that's pretty soon! ;)</p>
<p>I defintely agree with all of you. I am 32 and I wanted to attend Georgetown since I was 12 years old.
I just have to decide if I to go to Georgetown, will I regret not attending a school with the "Ivy League" stamp (not for snobbism, just for my own personal gratification).
I know it sounds silly, but that's the internal battle I have within myself.
One of my biggest flaws is I tend to over-analyze everything too much.</p>
<p>Georgetown is an amazing school, and the Ivy League distinction should not influence your decision over Georgetown. It also depends on what career you are interested in. I applied to Georgetown for international health because I want to be in health care and travel the world, and there is no other place in the country that offers a BS in International Health. If you are into business, well Nyu's Stern School of Business is ranked (US news rankings are very skewed) better than almost all the Ivy's except for Wharton (upenn) and Harvard. </p>
<p>i hope that helps influence your decision. If your gut feeling is with Gtown then go. Don't let the school's perception and media's propaganda entice you</p>
<p>Thanks, Tonyap23. I really appreciate your comments.
See, I am 32 and I am fairly successful real estate agent. I have a career, but I am going back to school to complete the last two years of my degree for the education.
I know I might be strange, but because I have several interests, I didn't apply to each school for the same degree program.
I applied to Penn to obtain a B.A. in Economics and Liberal Arts (Accepted).
I applied to Georgetown for a B.A. in International Affairs.
I know this is weird, but I just happen to have more than one interest in my life.
I would be happy with either degree.
My greatest interest and desire is to go to law school once I am done with the undergraduate degree.</p>
<p>well you know where to go for that.....Georgetown</p>
<p>if you maintain a 3.4 undergrad (my friend told me that, currently a student at MSB )gpa at gtown, than you dont have to take the LSATs for Gtown Law school....How nice is that?</p>
<p>The Early Assurance Program. It's awesome. That's why I like Georgetown.</p>
<p>That's awesome... I didn't know that. I would LOVE to go to Georgetown Law School!!
My wife is finishing her Master's degree in Education this May, and will be teaching at American University...so she hopes I choose Georgetown so that we don't live apart.</p>
<p>its the same with their med school, but they take less people for med school. Also, the gtown med school is going bankrupt.</p>
<p>I think Gtown is my #1 because SFS is unparalleled in its field.
But I'm also considering Columbia & Brown... as well as Tulane as a backup (excellent merit-based aid =D)</p>
<p>Why don't they just stop accepting students to their med school, and after the last graduating class, close down the med school and have the Federal Gov buy it and establish D.C. regional hospital? If it's losing money, close it.</p>
<p>The same with Drew/King Hospital in L.A. It was losing money and they needed to shut down.</p>
<p>they might have to take it over...</p>
<h1>1: Georgetown</h1>

<h1>4: Washington University, Carleton College</h1>
<p>gtown is a great school to be, its high on my list cuz of washington dc, ie, political connections... useful for later political careers, I dont think i'll get in though, bombed the interview...talked about islam, interviewer thought I was bashing catholicism, which I wasnt.... oh, I hope the interview dont factor in that much espescially when taken with the gr8 recommendations I had, still, I'm expecting a REJECTION</p>
<p>can someone elaborate on the Early Assurance program for me?</p>
<p>Yeah I want to know about this Early Assurance program too. Are SFS students allowed to do it?</p>
<p>Early Assurance</p>
<p>The Early Assurance Program is designed to encourage top undergraduates
from Georgetown University to apply to the Law Center. The Program is for Juniors
currently enrolled at Georgetown University, and students in all majors are encouraged to apply. Applications are due by March 1 of your junior year. Early acceptance is designed to give students the freedom to pursue a less conventional curriculum during his or her senior year and is non-binding. For additional information on the Early Assurance Program, please contact the dean of your college.</p>
<p>Early Assurance applicants are exempted from taking the LSAT and registering with the LSDAS. Instead, please include an official transcript with at least five semesters of undergraduate grades. Early Assurance applicants must submit two recommendations, one of which must be the Early Assurance Dean's Certification Form. Competitive Early Assurance applicants should have an undergraduate GPA of at least a 3.8.</p>

<h1>1 Georgetown, or BU with a full scholarship</h1>
<h1>2 Boston College</h1>
<h1>3 BU without a full scholarship</h1>
<p>Georgetown was my number 1 last year, but all that has since changed because of my athletic interests and major (interdiscinplinary studies).</p>
<p>For the schools I applied to:</p>
<p>1) Davidson
2) Georgetown/Wake Forest
4) Tulane
5) Chapel Hill
6) UMass Amherst</p>
<p>It's sad that georgetown has been so financially mismanaged in the past. They still rank in the top 20 to 25 by US News, etc. but their endowment is near number 80 in the nation... It would be very disappointing if they had to shut down the med school...</p>
<p>anyway, for me, it's georgetown, then brown, then wesleyan (for international relations).</p>
