To Worry or Not to Worry..

Colleges and Universities A-Z Georgetown University

<p>I received my confirmation receipts back from Georgetown (at my counselor's office, since they mailed it)..</p>

<p>Both return cards (it was for something that the school sent) were signed by Dean Gallucci, the Dean of the SFS.. That makes the ones I received today the THIRD card I received back from Dean Gallucci..</p>

<p>Am I to worry or not? Is it just coincidence? I mean, it was delivered and signed on different dates (I could tell with the ink and the date delivered stamp).. Ugh.. Just trying to make the most out of this damned wait!</p>

<p>Hmmm... I'm not sure what you're trying to say, Tlak. Is it that you've received multiple confirmations? That's better than none! Like me...:(</p>

<p>Anyway, I think your probably fine. No need to worry!</p>

<p>Well, it's not every day that the Dean of the SFS signs your mail return slip.</p>

4

<p>Maybe it's because you're special... so he made it personalized! If anything, I'd say it's a good sign. :)</p>

<p>PS- I just called the admissions office, and they said that I should be getting an email soon! He said they send them out in bunches, and it looks like my application "is all there." And if not, he said I'll get a letter. </p>

<p>Yay! My application wasn't lost! I'm really happy. :D</p>

<p>haha, calm down, or else your hair and fingernails will be completely gone by the 15th</p>

<p>i think youre already worrying...</p>

<p>They aren't necessarily signed by the Dean. They could be stamped or signed by a registrar...I know that's the way it is at my school at least, if you need the principal's signature you go to her secretary or the registrar and they sign for you. </p>

<p>As far as being returned, I wouldn't worry to much. You're three times sure they received your info!</p>

<p>That's the way it's signed at my school too -- except three separate occasions, the first in August. All the exact same signatures, different color ink.</p>

<p>I'm just worrying too much, that's all. Pulling my hair out (if you know me, this would be funny)... :: goes off back to ROTC paperwork ::</p>

<p>Besides, I personally admire Dean Gallucci -- he's done some amazing stuff for North Korea during his time as the Ambassador at Large.. I've read a lot of material on the nuclear proliferation crisis...</p>

<p>do applications really get lost in the mail?</p>

11

<p>hehe, I understand Tlaktan...I think we all worry, and that's why we check these boards like madpeople!</p>

<p>Nos, I think USPS is pretty reliable..but the sheer magnitude of a college app means that if something were to happen....whew. Awful!</p>

<p>I sent <em>EVERYTHING</em> to Georgetown via certified mail. It was worth it though, the satisfaction of knowing things arrived. Besides, it's my #1 choice for school, it deserves better than the best.</p>
