Official Georgetown transfer thread fall 2013

<p>@Yagiboonjota Sure! I was put on the waitlist. Kind of bummed, but hopefully they will have a lower than expected yield.</p>

<p>Whoever admitted to SFS, could you post your stat? You must be way above the cut-off line and I am really curious.</p>

<p>@lumberjack</p>

<p>Nothing yet from sfs, right?</p>

<p>Nothing for now.</p>

<p>Is anyone who applied MSB have not heard back?</p>

<p>I’m in that boat and I’m really worried…:(</p>

<p>I’m actually really surprised I got into SFS! Especially so early?</p>

<p>I’m not going to go into too much detail but I had a 3.95 at my current university, a 3.7 in high school, and ~2100 sat. I got pretty involved in activities this year at my current university and I have a ton of volunteering etc. from high school. Honestly, I think my essays and recommendations are what got my in. I’m still really shocked!</p>

<p>Feel free not to answer this but do you mind telling me which college are you from?</p>

Can you post the number of applicants and matriculants from the admissions letter?</p>

<p>a top 50 university and they didn’t include the transfer numbers for SFS in the letter :/</p>

<p>No, the letter does not differentiate the 4 colleges, but states the number for all applicants and slots available. </p>

<p>Please post those numbers to help everyone on this thread to get an idea of how competitive this years transfer group is; it’s very odd if they don’t include those stats.</p>

<p>^Some of the other accepted transfer students stated that there were 200 open spots this year. Last year there were around 170, I believe.</p>

<p>Hopefully SFS applicants will hear back tomorrow!</p>

<p>To Georgetown College</p>

<p>Congrats to those accepted to SFS, MSB, and the College and those who are waiting to hear back. This is my first time posting on CC, but I have been following this thread avidly for the past few months. I am awaiting my decision from SFS. I’ll technically be transferring in for my junior year, though according to the dean I spoke to, we all transfer in as ‘sophomores’. I applied from a top 50 school (in the Big 10) as a regional and comparative studies major. I applied to the College during high school but was rejected, and figured I’d knock again and see if that door would open this time.</p>

<p>Stats:
College GPA 3.7
HS GPA 3.8
ACT 30
APs: two 4s, one 5
Took a Georgetown course in the summer right after high school and got a B+ (International Relations). Interned that summer at Muslim civil rights group.
Worked next summer in D.C. for certain Arab country’s revolution (am Arab from that country).
Currently finishing up a semester in D.C., interning at top think tank.
Working as paid Arabic translator/consultant for media company.
Rowing crew.
President of interfaith group on campus.
Very active on Middle East stuff on Twitter.
A bunch of leadership positions in high school, plus a summer politics program at Georgetown.</p>

<p>I know exactly what I want from the program, my regional and research focus, thesis idea, etc. This is the only school I applied to, and I know that I want to be in D.C. So one could say that I put all my eggs in one basket. I am proud of my essays, and I had a great alumni interview, and got a chance to meet with the dean for SFS transfers. I pray this will work out for all of us.</p>

<p>I know it’s pretty late in the game to be posting stats and whatnot, but yolo, as they say. I talked to someone from admissions last week and told me that they will only be sending letters on June 1st or a few days earlier. He said that the only people that recieved letters had received them because they requested early reads. And I know that’s not exactly accurate, since I’m seeing some of you receive letters early on. These mixed messages are adding to the anxiety. I sure would (as all of you do) like to figure out what I’ll be doing this Fall! I really do appreciate you all and the fact that there is this medium to discuss and share.</p>

<p>Best of luck.</p>

<p>@Hisnamewasking</p>

<p>Welcome, and best of luck to you as well.
Cheers from a fellow SFS applicant.</p>

<p>Officialy accepted to georgetown msb!!!</p>

<p>Is there a transfer facebook group?</p>

<p>Is there a reason why the vast majority of transfers in this thread are MSB/SFS? Is the College just less transfer-friendly or is it solely because of business/int’l policy interests?</p>

<p>What’s wrong with Georgetown? Why still no decision? Has anyone heard from them since Monday?</p>

<p>No news for me. I take it as a negative sign. If you filter through older threads, Georgetown likes to send out rejections toward the end of May.</p>
