Waitlist 2012

<p>@ cahs
wow youre daughter got screwed over huh… (im assuming because there’s a huge gap btwn davis & gtown/yale/duke</p>

<p>oh and i thought waitlist responses are always done over PHONE, correct? so i think we will hear back by phone first, then receive confirmation by MAIL by may 15…</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Very perceptive of you akaasap</p>

<p>So if anyone gets a phone call, please post details of the conversation so we can all be jealous of your good fortune…</p>

<p>D got E<em>mail yesterday from waiting list to accept. E</em>mail said her FA will be mailed to her next week. Since we deposited her money to Emory and we had hard time to make decision to deal with six other colleges, she lost interesting to GT. She got hurt a lot because she applied EA, GT put her as deferred, and later put her as waiting list.</p>

<p>Hope this info. can help other people at waiting list.</p>

<p>D’s friend got into GT last year, he told my D that he is average student in GT. Some good opportunity he can not get it…So, D just gave up GT and chose Emory. Plus, Emory offered her pretty good FA. </p>

<p>I am tired too to deal with these back and forward games.
Hope this info. will give some people on this thread a little hint.</p>

<p>do international students get calls as well?</p>

<p>@Cornellmom:
Thanks for the post!
Sorry but to clarify, your D got accepted off the waitlist yesterday via email?</p>

<p>If it weren’t for the part of Cornellmom2014’s post about receiving FA next week, I’d say she was confused by the email that everyone received yesterday confirming our interest in remaining on the waitlist. It doesn’t seem that Georgetown uses email to accept kids off of the waitlist, as they’ve used phone calls in the past…but who knows, maybe they are emailing.</p>

<p>Yes. D got accepted e<em>mail from yesterday. She called me very late last night. She told me that she e</em>mailed back to GT “not come”. She also told GT that gave the seat to other people who really want to go. GT was her first choice before, however, from GT attitude, she feels she may not happy over there, particularly, her schoolmate from GT told her some other things. </p>

<p>If GT e_mail comes ten days early, I bet she may choose GT definitely. We had several good colleges ( top of 30) to choose before May first. Right now, it is over. I am so tired to follow her to make such decision. </p>

<p>@ywna49,
D told me e_mail notified her that she will receive accepted letter and FA together next week, sorry I confused you. Regardless waiting list or accepted not, it was past. She signed some documentation with Emory Admission Office to confirm that she will attend there. So, it is over.</p>

<p>I am a current student worker in the Admissions Office and I can confirm that no one has been accepted from the wait list. The Dean of Admissions told me that I can confirm this so that there is no confusion. If there is any space in the class, students will be contacted at the beginning of next week at the earliest.</p>

<p>My D sent deposit to Wellesley, although we are still waiting to hear from GT. I wonder if anyone has opinions as to the comparison between Wellesley and GT other than Wellesley being a girl college. We would like to know the overall reputation, academic rigor, and the social life on campus.</p>

<p>@Hoyagirl,</p>

<p>Thanks you post this and let us know GT game. Also, I wonder if real admission officers saw what you post, you might get some … </p>

<p>From what I contacted with different colleges admission offices ( include GT), they told me that accepted information is confidential info, only admission committees know. I wonder how come this confidential info. will tell you. I had contacted with one GT admission office-lady, she even gave me vague message before may 1, 2012.
Folks, here is some deans’ contact info. If this thread is true, please contact with these deans and confront with them: Why!</p>

<p>Again, regardless GT info. or message, whatever, I am tired it and sick it. I will not encourage my other close friends’ children to gamble their hopes to GT. Undergraduate education is basic education. Except GT, there are GWU and American University in DC. The rank of GT is closed to GWU or American ranks within certain field. I can see my D is happy now and proud of getting into Emory.</p>

<p>^Unfortunate…</p>

<p>I’m just a Grandma watching from the sidelines as my grandchild hopes to get 1st choice GT acceptance off wait list. However, I feel compelled to throw in my two cents so here goes…</p>

<p>Mommy and Daddy should NEVER, EVER call admissions offices to advocate on behalf of their child. Most schools (particularly those the caliber of GT) expect the STUDENT to advocate for themselves and to ask questions for themselves. I would even guess that it could earn a negative mark for the student in question. Students going off to college should be able to handle the entire admissions process by themselves. If they can’t…they shouldn’t be going to a place like GT in the first place.</p>

<p>It is dependent on what kinds of topics you ask admission. Different people have different issues or concerns.</p>

<p>I had contacted with one ivy university regarding guaranteed transfer Options. Nothing happened and effected to my D situation. She got positive letter from this Ivy university. Personally, I think essay is very important to express who you are and how you will do in your future career. If only judged from parents’ phone calls. then, I doubt it…</p>

<p>Anyway, game is over and we save the energy. Good luck to everybody who still waits for the list. Wish you will get in and be happy in GT. </p>

<p>Good night.</p>

<p>Hello everyone, I’m fairly new to College Confidential (by fairly I mean, I have just signed up and this will be my first post!) and I just wanted to visit this specific post to see if anyone had: heard from the Admissions Office, been admitted off of the waitlist, received news about the waitlist being closed, etc. Thank you very much, Hoyagirl14 for addressing the majority of my concerns.</p>

<p>I’d like to comment that I don’t understand Cornellmom2014’s logic, muchless all the vitriol she is spouting. While I think it’s great that parents have their two cents in their child’s college process, I feel that encouraging others to badger the Admissions Office of any university is unnecessary and not at all beneficial to anyone, ESPECIALLY not the Admissions Office. This is just my opinion and it may be so because my own parents didn’t play an active role in choosing universities with me(they both work two jobs and also know very little about the college admissions process). Even so, they’re very proud of me and ecourage me to go after the things that I want; I feel I thrive off of this independence. </p>

<p>Anyway, congratulations to everyone on their acceptances and for those of you with pending waitlist decisions: Goodluck! I am keeping busy with school, prom, and some fun new projects I’ve taken on (anyone ever tried archery? I encourage you to try it!) and will happily await my only remaining final decision–Georgetown’s decision.</p>

<p>@student 2016,
You do not have to understand me. As a parent, I do not want to see my D wasted her tear to trap some useless hopes. When GT put her deferred, she was very depressed and cried. My D is far away from home. She does not live with parents and she is alonely living in another city in boarding school. How could you understand parents’ feelings?</p>

<p>I do not know you and you do not know me. You get in GT and you are lucky. However, there are more students got rejected and will be sad as my D in the past few months. Tell me which parents would like to see their kids cried for no hopes game?</p>

<p>I wish I could play some active role to involve my kids colleges if I would be able to do so. D works so hard to write down many essays in order to get awards for scholarships. She wants and she does to reduce my shoulder load. Thus, I do not have to make myself working on two jobs. …</p>

<p>If waiting list accepted number is the same as last year_ Zero, whether you still tell other people good try? We will find out within next two weeks…</p>

<p>Again, good luck to you to get in GT. I will trace your post to see your happiness in GT. Just kidding.</p>

<p>I will be out your thread, pls do not mention my icon name in your thread again. Thanks a lot.</p>

<p>I think there was just a misunderstanding, and Hoyagirl14 did everyone a favor by just clarfiying that Georgetown had not to date taken anyone off the wait list. The email that went out was not taking students off the wait list but just confirming their continued interest in staying on the list. I know this is a difficult time for many who are still hopeful they will get off a wait list. But I am sure the stress will pass, and everyone will end up where they were suppose to. In the meantime, Hoyagirl14, thank you for passing on the correct information.</p>

<p>Did everyone send in supplemental materials? I’m worried that basically everyone on the waitlist wants to get off it just as badly as people on cc haha. Also, is it certain that they will be taking people off this year?</p>

<p>How have people confirmed their interest in staying on the waitlist? Have they done as the email suggested and not responded to the email, or have they done something different?</p>
