<p>Calidan - In response to your previous question, I haven't gotten my envelope full of admission stuff yet. Since I deferred, I'll get mine at the same time as you. I'll be at the begining of May once everyone accepts their acceptance. You may however, get occasional letters talking about the resources at Georgetown (ie. I got one about interning at the Washington Post and a few emails from the biology dep't).</p>

<p>I'm going to one of those admitted students weekends. I think the April 15-16th one. Is anyone else planning on going to one?</p>

<p>Congrats to everyone accepted :p
To those who weren't, it's ok, I feel ya
--pton deferree and Gtown RDer =)</p>

<p>I'm going too, but I'm not sure to which one! I may go to two (one in Feb one in April).</p>

<p>aluka...-did you say anything to georgetown about deferring before you got accepted? I plan on deferring to study abroad, and although i didn't write it on my application, I might havementioned it in the interview (i honestly cant remember) My teacher says that might be one of the reasons I got deferred...do you know anything about how that works?</p>

<p>I have an idea... how about everyone post their real first name and their IM screen name, just to straighten some things out? I know that I've been getting confused lately. So I'll start:</p>

<p>No, I didn't tell them. I didn't even know that I would defer. But I don't think it should make that much of a difference if you told them that you may defer. Either way, you'd attend. But since you didn't tell them on hte app initially, you shouldn't mention it now. Anyways, good luck with getting accepted in April!</p>

<p>Oh wow, I just talked to my counselor today. Thank goodness I didn't talk to her on Monday, otherwise I would have had a heart attack. I had faxed in my stuff about my Marine ROTC scholarship last week sometime. She said that she'd follow up with a call to make sure that they got it. Well, I went by her office today, and she told me that when she called, GT didn't have any of my school stuff (recs, transcript, etc)!!!! And THAT even after they sent me a letter saying they had everything!! I must have come THIS CLOSE - to not getting in!! Wow, I feel really lucky right about now... </p>

<p>Hey Lauren, what did the student say about some of your questions (the one about how expensive it was, celeb professors, how hard it is)</p>

<p>Has anyone else gotten a call yet?</p>

<p>I just got my call tonight, but I totally blanked out about questions. The only thing I found out was about the open houses and doing an overnight.</p>

<p>Oh, is it an option to do an overnight? Did they explain how it works? I'd love to do one... Thanks.</p>

<p>they called me yesterday, but I wasn't at home. Oh well. That overnight option would definitely be a great opportunity. I think I'll look into that.</p>

<p>Wow you did get lucky, Marines4me. </p>

<p>The person I talked to actually called again today by mistake. Apparently it's his job to call both Jewish acceptees and NY'ers (since he's a Jew from NY) and I was in both piles, lol. But to answer your question. he said that:</p>

<p>1) Celeb professors are naturally more difficult to get, but students definitely do get into their classes. Apparantely one of his good friends had a half hour chat with Madeleine Albright last week after she stumbled upon her office (and was very spacey from just having taken a bunch of finals, so she went in and said to the secretary, "I'd like to speak with Professor Albright." LOL!)</p>

<p>2) In terms of cost, well he comes from Westchester (aka the place where a can of Pepsi costs $5) so he said Georgetown actually seemed cheaper! But he also said that just as it's entirely possible to blow a lot of money, it's also possible to not spend a lot. One can easily go out to eat for under $10, the subway is super cheap, and the Kennedy Center has lots of free or student-discounted events.</p>

<p>3) How hard... Did you apply to the SFS or the College? I asked him specifically about the SFS, even though he's a college student, and this is what he said. The SFS is known to be the most difficult on campus, but it's not impossible. A's are possible if you work hard, and it's actually kind of hard to get below a B. Pretty much you can do a mediocre job and still get a B (or a C if you really don't try). He also said it's not competitive at all (because most classes aren't curved) and that professors will try to help students out with grades if they're making a real effort</p>

<p>Oh and this is totally random, but my best friend just got accepted EA at Yale!! I'm soooo happy for him!!!! :) :) :)</p>

<p>For the overnights, you have to call Georgetown Admissions Ambassadors (GAAP), at least 2 weeks before you want to go. It's a separate thing from the accepted student weekends, and you get to stay in a dorm with a student, eat in the dining halls and go to classes with them. I think it sounds like a really good idea, and I'll probably do it the night before one of the admitted student weekends, so I only have to make one trip down there.</p>

<p>I'm planning on going to the Accepted Student weekend in February. What exactly goes on during those??</p>
