<p>Yeah, i got stuck cause i started in the spring and not in the fall, and Georgetown wont take spring transfers, so I had to apply early. Good thing is that since my current lease is up in December, It would be considerably more convenient to go somewhere in the spring than have to sublet or break my lease to go in the fall. I’d also like to finish up the year at my job as well.
If I get in, I may use some creative scheduling so that I wouldn’t have to be on campus all the time. I live about 90 minutes from dc now, so i might be racking up those miles</p>
<p>Do many schools accept CC students? I mean, I would assume most people applying from CC’s have 4.0 GPA’s so how would they be able to differentiate them?</p>
<p>I’ve been researching as I’m sure everyone else has and I get the feeling that GPA isnt as important as everyone thinks. And it also seems to be that the transfer process is different than the first year acceptance also. I have looked througha lot of Freshman profiles and there are 3.9 gpa’s and 2200 + sat’s getting denied, there are people with lower gpas and lower sats getting in. For transfers your essays, interviews, and recommendations play as much a part as your numbers. Not every school wants all 4.0 students, they want a good mix. Also the college your applying to is taken into account. MSB applications are down 300 applicants this year, but all the other colleges are up. Business transfers with a good MSB essay might be in really good shape, as opposed to an SFS transfer applicant because its much more competitive. </p>
<p>Other than the 300 fewer applicants this year, the rest of this is opinion and conjecture.</p>
<p>I can’t take it anymore…Waiting for Georgetown is painful</p>
<p>Is there a transfer orientation that allows us to get our bearings? Or do we just have to find our way through the campus on our own?</p>
<p>Well about a month and everyone should know…hopefully it is sooner. they changed the status of the Georgetown admissions site for transfers so I am sure they have started the process</p>
<p>Welshy - They have the infosession tours you can sign up for whenever you want but as far as incoming student/transfer info sessions, they have one the day before classes start which would be in August. I will be in DC twice next month for business so I will be signing up for the prio info session tour and will report back on what it was like if any other transfer applicants are curious. Unless someone else can speak to what they were like from personal experience?</p>
<p>this is really a long month…my first time around i got in everywhere I applied, but I was never concerned about where I went to college because at the time, I knew I would have fun no matter where I went. 10 years later, I am picking a college, potential city that I would live and work in</p>
<p>Has anyone looked at or applied to Georgetown SCS?</p>
<p>nope can’t say i have canzior, but i am sure its a good one, probably along the lines of columbia gs</p>
<p>Does anyone know if applications are reviewed by individual admissions officers or if every application goes through committee review?</p>
<p>Does anyone know if transfers typically get on-campus housing? Are there lots of spaces in the dorms, or are many transfers forced to find their own housing in DC?</p>

<p>its a couple years old, but i think they use the same procedure</p>
<p>School of Continuing Studies might be my backdoor into Georgetown</p>
<p>White male from NJ here. 23 years old. Transfer (obviously).</p>
<p>Great recommendation from head of department (political science), transferring to SFS. 4.0 GPA through ~50 credits, so I’ll be going in somewhere between sophmore and junior. Pretty well ranked CC. </p>
<p>HS homeschooled, so I sent them a curric but I have no formal diploma or GPA to show them. </p>
<p>So we shall see.</p>
<p>How could SCS be your back door in?</p>
<p>i hope decisions hold to last year. they started hearing the 24th from nhs…which is what i applied to. i need to know now i have such a nauseous feeling all day every day</p>
<p>Anyone happen to know what is in a Georgetown transfer acceptance letter. Is it like the freshman one with the 3 pieces of paper in the regular envelope?</p>
<p>Craintrain: My interviewer told me that the transfer acceptance letter is a very thin envelope with just the acceptance/rejection letter</p>
<p>that is definitely good to know. because now i won’t instantaneously freak out when i feel just one piece of paper…how sure are you about that by the way?</p>
<p>crain, i was thinking about that myself. if i get that single piece of paper, i might not open cause i would be expecting a big envelope with all my stuff in it.</p>
<p>The SCS is much easier to get into, just has limited majors.</p>
