<p>alright, all you early action-ers, we've got a little over a week LEFT.</p>
<p>i'm planning to report my SAT scores tomorrow after i get the october result, is that bad? </p>
<p>will the scores get to Gtown in time? ?? </p>
<p>teacher recs... done.
essay... well, one is done, the Why Gtown one is harder to write bc I'm not sure what kind of tone I should have, if you know what I mean.
what is the deal with AP scores? Do we send those seperately, or what???</p>
<p>does anyone else think it's a little uncomfortable that we have to finish part 2 in one sitting? I keep starting over & over again bc I don't end up finishing it in one sitting. A little uncomfortable.</p>
<p>well, this thread is for last minute hustle & bustle discussions... hollla. or at least answer my questions :)</p>
<p>I sent my scores tonight--I heard sending AP scores now don't count for much since they're not used until you actually are admitted and then you can use it for credit/placement. Any validity to that? </p>
<p>Teacher recs are done as is Essay#1--right now I'm working on cutting down my why Gtown essay...ughhhhh.</p>
<p>I totally didn't think about sending AP scores. My school only offers one AP class junior year, and I got a 4 on the exam. Should I send?
I'm also still working on my SFS essay, and I've got my interview tomorrow.....<em>trying not to freak out</em></p>
<p>tigerlily: My GC told me it's not worth sending AP scores right now--apparently they count for little to nothing in the application process. They only start to matter once you are in the college and you are selecting courses that you could possibly get advanced placement in or credit for. </p>
<p>Anyone else hear of this or is my GC just completely wrong?</p>
<p>Good luck at your interview--had mine last week.</p>
<p>ahh i'm so glad i'm not the only one who is FREAAAKING out!!! I can't believe how fast the deadline is approaching!
Teacher rec: done
Alumni Interview: TUESDAY! AHHH!
Essays: #1 and #2 are done. have insane writer's block for #3-- the what experiences have led you to want a career in health studies (for NHS college)
SAT's: sent in</p>
<p>ah i just sent in part 1 of the application like 3 days ago so they are only JUST going to set my interview...but i'm kinda hoping that because i'm in switzerland, i'm too rural for an interview and won't get one haha cuz i doubt it will work to my advantage...but everything else is outa the way except 1 of the essays!</p>
<p>Question about Part II online:
Do you complete the essays by uploading a document? Or do you have to cut and paste into a box? If it's cut and paste, is there a character limit?</p>
<p>You cut and paste into the provided fields. There is no real character limit, but the general guidelines are about half a page for the short essay and one page for each of the two longer essays.</p>
<p>I had my interview a little over a week ago, and it was actually very enjoyable. My alumni interviewer graduated in 2004 so she was pretty young and we had a lot of the same interests so that probably eased the conversation a bit. My interview was at a Barnes & Noble so it was very laid back and I basically just talked about myself for a lot of the time, but she also shared a lot about her experience and answered my questions. If you're an interesting person and have a lot to share about yourself, the interview will go just fine. If you are generally quiet and timid, you may not have as good an experience. I brought a list of questions because I tend to forget that kind of thing, like what I would want to ask, so if you are afraid you might run out of questions to ask then bring a list too.</p>
<p>i'm just feeling really nervous b/c my interview is at the interviewer's office....
Is it ok to ask a lot of questions about the interviewer's personal experiences (like "Why did you pick Georgetown, what was your least favorite thing as a student there, what is the student body like, etc.) ?</p>

<p>Being nervous is the worst thing you can do to prepare... I don't mean to scare you really, if you think about being relaxed right now then you will have a much better interview. I remember looking at a thread on this Georgetown part of CC, and seeing your stats. Let's just say you are FAR better off than me statistically... I have weak stats compared to all of you, but I was not nervous at all (until I pulled into my parking spot before my interview :)) and I feel that I had a very successful interview. I took the approach to talk a lot about myself, because I have a lot to share that I know wouldn't been seen on my application. I'm very multi-faceted and have a very bubbly personality so I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to meet face-to-face with an alumni! I only asked a few questions (i.e. study abroad experience, organizations she was involved in, and about 2 others) because I mainly just talked about my interests, family, etc. and my interviewer talked about herself too... It just flowed very nicely. So if you think too hard about it now it won't go in your favor.</p>
<p>Keep in mind the law of attraction, your thoughts become things. You think pleasant, relaxed thoughts now, your interview will be pleasant and relaxed.</p>
<p>Like I said, you all are far better off statiscally than me (even though stats do not account for everything), so your foundation is a little stronger. You ought to have nothing to worry about. :)</p>
<p>I noticed that the application seemed a little bit less thorough than the common app w/ supplements for most schools. I guess this is because they depend on a lot with the interview???? I don't know. I think I did okay for my interview though because I talked with the guy for three hours lol! I think by the end of it we both were wondering where the time went.</p>
<p>my interview was about 30 mins becuase it was on yom kippur and I had to get to services. My alumna was really nice but very intense. She really enjoyed speaking, but I didn't want to interrupt her....I still got my bubbly personality out there though!</p>
<p>Mine was about an hour an a half. My interviewer graduated in 2006; it was very low key and a good, lively conversation. It was like I was trying to sell (for lack of a better word) myself and she was trying to sell the school. Be sure you've done your homework on Georgetown and have some intelligent questions to ask.</p>
<p>Wow, alot of you guys talked for a while. My interview was about forty minutes and we pretty much covered everything. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. My advice would be to come prepared about why you want to go to Georgetown, know all of your extracurriculars off the top of your head and have questions for the alum about Georgetown.</p>
