Official Georgetown transfer thread fall 2013

<p>Didn't see one...a little more confusing since they don't use the common app. Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>College: SC large public
College GPA: 4.0 (47 credits currently)
High School GPA: ~3.2

<p>Yes! It’s about time someone created a thread for Georgetown transfers!</p>

<p>College: Top 100 relatively selective university.
College GPA: 3.88 (with my projected second term grades)
ACT: 30
SAT: 1970
High School GPA: 3.1
Extracurricular Activities: Decent, but don’t want to disclose for sake of privacy</p>

<p>With my low standardized testing scores and GPA, will I have a better chance as a junior transfer?</p>

<p>College: Top 30 National University
College GPA: 3.78
SAT: 2160
HS GPA: 3.7+
EC: Solid but nothing amazing</p>

<p>Is anyone sending in a mid-term report? We don’t actually have mid-term grades and I didn’t see a mid-term report form on the GTown website like I did on the CommonApp…</p>

<p>Hey all, gonna bump this since the deadline is approaching. I just submitted my application after compulsively looking over it a million times. How long were your guy’s essays? Mine’s were both 500-550 words (they said approximately a page each, so in terms of single space, 12-point times new roman font, that should be about right).</p>

<p>essay length sounds right. I’m done w/one which is in that range. Working harder to condense the primary essay…less opportunity to paint a picture w/their application vs. the common app & supplements</p>

<p>anyone going to send them a mid-term report? I know they don’t have/ask for one but since I’m getting it for other schools figure maybe send them a photocopy as well?</p>

<p>no you do not need to send in midterm reports. good luck to everyone finishing up apps these last couple days!</p>

<p>^ They will notify on June 1.</p>

<p>I’m so nervous. I have yet to finish my essays; stupid me for not managing my time efficiently.</p>

<p>Yes, the notification deadline is June 1st; however, if you get accepted, you will be notified by email in April or May. Rejection and wait list notifications come by mail only. If you don’t get anything by mid may its safe to assume you probably didn’t get in.</p>

<p>Georgetown doesn’t need final grade reports, right?</p>

<p>Not for admissions. If you get in you’ll obviously have to send them in for transfer credit.</p>

<p>So how long did you make your essays? Georgetown doesn’t have a word limit, so I was wondering how long it should be.</p>

<p>About 1 page, single spaced, 12 pt font. I would stay between 500-600 words.</p>

<p>I applied as a sophomore transfer to MSB</p>

<p>College GPA: 4.0 (16 credits)
High School GPA: 92/100
SAT: 1450 (1470 superscore)/2160(2180)
ECs: Very average</p>

<p>I don’t feel confident at all about getting in. I procrastinated writing my essay and ended up writing some below-par essays. My first essay was only 260-300 words, so I am really worried that will hurt my chances. My second was about 500-600 words.</p>

<p>ahh…just by seeing these stats, I’m scared already…</p>

<p>Applied as a junior at Montgomery to MSB (international major)</p>

<p>College GPA: 3.71(65 credit, receiving my aa degree in may) member of PTK
HS: 2.6<br>
SAT: 1280/2400 (embarrassed)
ECs: volunteer at a cultural center for three years…
essays were decent…but who knows ??</p>

<p>Does anyone know when we would be contacted for interview?</p>

<p>and just got turned down by the preferred consideration program today…</p>

<p>^ Good luck. You know that Georgetown doesn’t consider your writing score, right? If you submit your SATs, they will look at it on a 1600 scale.</p>

<p>Hi all! I applied as a Sophomore to SFS!</p>

<p>How did all your essays go?</p>

<p>I thought my essays consisted of incoherent rambling.</p>

<p>Anyway, does Georgetown have a portal where applicants can check the status of applications?</p>

<p>I was wondering where that is as well…
Rain202 did u apply to sfs? College?</p>
