@kidfromthebeach: There is no rhyme or reason to GT-on our Naviance, kids with high stats were rejected, low stats accepted.

However, I will tell you something I noticed: The kids accepted (from our school) had one thing in common-all four work menial jobs almost full time. Three are fast food employees, one works at Sears.

ywna49 · March 31, 2012, 11:27am

@bbbblaahhh
You can potentially “give your acceptance to someone else”–by turning down your spot, maybe someone from the waitlist can get in. If their yield is lower, the waitlist has a shot.

Subjective:
Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): president of club, swim team, VP of language club
Job/Work Experience:
Volunteer/Community service: helped at shelter, church
Essays: unique topic but crappy writing for my personal statement. my gtown essay was even worse, i struggled to pinpoint why i liked certain aspects of gtown and why they benefited me. i think i had a somewhat unique (and long) “talents” section, though that was also terribly written
Teacher Recommendation: probably average.
Counselor Rec: probably avg
interview: average, not awesome at all. i was honest about why i liked georgetown but my interviewer kept pushing me to answer what made the school different from other schools i was applying to and i wasn’t sure how to answer that

Weaknesses: everything…test scores, grades, recommendations, essays, extracurriculars
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: God! i really think this is a miracle. i didn’t turn in a resume, i had bad essays and bad sat IIs especially (also bad SAT I for an asian), i applied into italian when i had more experience with japanese, i turned in my mid-year report late, and my recommendations were probably very generic. i can’t fathom why georgetown accepted me (not that i’m complaining). all glory to God
General Comments:
this was my last college result and my only reach that i have been accepted to. it was my next choice after getting rejected ED from an ivy. i am so grateful

@johndoe1992

I applied as a Mandarin major. I was honest too (job prospects for Latin majors are conspicuously dissatisfactory, so I didn’t pretend I was going to stick with it in college.) I get what you’re saying though, about being yourself. You begin to wonder if “being yourself” is really what this process is about… I certainly wondered.

My acceptance letter indicated that 20,100 people applied for 1580 slots, but that around 3300 were accepted, for an acceptance rate around 16%. I don’t understand how 3300 were accepted for 1580 slots. What am I missing?

^Those who choose not to matriculate.

Momzie · April 13, 2012, 2:39pm
