<p>Boy, college_hopeful, thanks for the encouragement! hehe...I haven't heard anything yet...prolonging the rejection sucks...</p>
<p>i haven't heard anything either, although a lot of people in my area have (acceptances and rejections alike). i wonder why?</p>
<p>mik, our mailmen hate us. my dog tried to chase the mailman the other day...perhaps that has something to do with it...</p>

<p>just<em>forget</em>me, Georgetown has various weekends in april called GAAP weekends(Georgetown Admissions Ambassadors Program). You get to tour campus, tour freshman dorms, tour the historical neighborhood, listen to professors lecture, icebreakers, student panels, academic panels, etc. It culminates with convocation. You should be receiving a package with the GAAP booklet shortly. You can also register online I believe. Also, if you feel the need to, you can request if you can stay overnight w/ a freshman.</p>

<p>Comments:</p>
<p>I was hoping the SAT IIs would help more than they apparently did. I really needed more creative essays. A lot of waiting for 20 seconds.</p>
<p>the decisions seem like they were more stats based...those with 1560+ were accepted...everyone else got the shaft</p>
