<p>How many of you submitted secondary school report forms filled out by your high school counselors?</p>
<p>@Jay,
HS stats will not be a BIG deal breaker. Are you transferring for soph or junior standing? The more time you have out of HS, the less of an impact your HS stats will have. </p>
<p>For example, if you’re applying during your college frosh year, the admissions office doesn’t have a lot to go off of except for your limited college transcript (Fall grades only!) and therefore they look at your HS stats! However, if you have excellent stats from college (GPA and ECs from 1 semester) and an excellent essay, they may help to limit the impact of you’re HS stats.</p>
<p>Now if you’re applying during your sophmore year, you have 3 semesters worth of credits for the admissions office to assess. And hopefully during those 3 semesters (and 1 summer), you’ve done some cool/beneficial/exciting/unique ECs. With more time out of HS, your HS stats impact will be marginal since it may or may not reflect your current abilities.</p>
<p>@SFS I am currently a freshman. My ECs and essays were not spectacular, so I am mainly relying on my numbers lol.</p>
<p>Does GT require a Mid year report?</p>
<p>Eventhough this is not required, you guys sent it out?</p>
<p>Just got an email for my interview, but the address for this person is literally 2 hours from my college and 1 hour from my house. I don’t remember which address I used for my app (home or college) but this is pretty inaccessible</p>
<p>@tooFast, Since it is that far away, you will probably have an interview over the phone.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how heavily your interview weighs on the decision? Also, does everyone who applies and has an alumni in the area get an interview? Or is it just the ones who they ruled have a chance?</p>
<p>@maomix no, there may be alumni in the area but if they dont have time to interview you then you won’t get one. When I called they told me they send our names to alumni and depeding on if they are available or not will determine if you get an interview. It has nothing to do with people they ruled out. As for the weight it has I’m pretty sure it doesn’t have a lot because not everyone gets an interview.</p>
<p>I have no words after seeing Kim’s thread.</p>
<p>@ SFS I am a ucla student myself and it seems that vey likely I won’t end up like you. BUMMER!</p>
<p>@Lumberjack
Don’t stress. Decisions won’t be out until next month, and afterwards, life goes on :)</p>
<p>I’m sure if you’ll be competitive. If you don’t get in, you’ll do well where ever you decide to finish your degree.</p>
<p>@SFS Rules, I though decisions come out June 1st?</p>
<p>^ I think decisions start coming out in waves from early May to early June. I remember reading in last years thread that the majority of applicants that were accepted received their decisions in the first or second wave. Not sure how accurate that is though.</p>
<p>As SAT100 said, notifications start around mid-May to June 1.</p>
<p>will we find out by email or snail mail?</p>
<p>^^^ hahaha… snail mail :(</p>
<p>I got an email regarding my missing materials. So don’t freak out; if they don’t have your materials, they’ll contact you.</p>
<p>Good to know Rain202. Thanks for the info.</p>
<p>I also got an email regarding missing materials. They said they begin their review of our applications this week.</p>
<p>Oh, and I haven’t gotten an interview despite living in DC with probably one of the most concentrated populations of Georgetown alums.</p>
<p>hi there ***SFS Rules, I was wondering if you can comment on the Georgetown Preferred Consideration Program that GT has with some local CC, if someone CC transfer student has been selected for special recommendation what would be the benefits or cons if any ??? I greatly appreciate your input.</p>
