Waitlist 2012

<p>I was placed on the extended waitlist…should hear back by June 30 now</p>

<p>Did you get your letter or was this through email?</p>

<p>Letter 10char</p>

<p>Not even given a place on the extended waiting list.</p>

<p>Extended waiting list.</p>

<p>Rejected. Nice to finally have some closure. good luck to all of you, whether you end up at georgetown or another awesome school :)</p>

<p>Has everyone been getting letters so far?</p>

<p>Just got my decision letter in the email. I’ve been put on the extended waitlist. For those of you who are also in my position, are you going to accept a spot on the waitlist?</p>

<p>I’m on the extended waiting list too…I thought it was pretty exclusive, but now seeing that a bunch of people here are on it, I’m not so sure about that exclusivity anymore.
Part of me doesn’t want to give up, but another part is thinking, after 3 non-decisions, I should just say, “Their loss,” and completely move on. By June 30, I will have attended orientation for BC (where I’m going as of now) and will likely be more attached to there, so even if by some miracle I got in off the extended wait list, I don’t know how much I’d want to attend Georgetown anymore.
I think it’s nicer to know that I’m going somewhere that wanted me right away, rather than a place that would begrudgingly accept me if they needed to fill a space.</p>

<p>Also on extended waiting list. Definitely thought it was more exclusive. What schools did everyone apply to who is on the extended waiting list?</p>

<p>I applied to the College</p>

<p>@ywna49 I agree with you completely. </p>

<p>It’s important to feel good about yourself and your situation. My grandson got rejected, and he is glad for the closure. He is also very excited about where he is going (USC). Good luck to you all, and please be happy about where you go…you are all very lucky and will have a successful future no matter where you end up.</p>

<p>I applied to SFS.</p>

<p>@ywna: That’s how I feel about my current school as well (UC Berkeley). Also, I’ve been having more and more doubts about Georgetown since I got deferred early. I’ve always thought that I would be happier at Berkeley because I like the atmosphere better. However, I really liked Georgetown’s programs and SFS focus. I can’t decide whether to accept a spot on the extended waitlist or not :/</p>

<p>@x.sunny I know, it’s such a tough spot. I mean, Georgetown was always my #1 and I was devastated when I was deferred and then waitlisted…I was confident that it was somewhat of a match school for me, too, so not getting in 3 times is still kind of surprising.
I never thought I would end up at BC so at first it was hard to wrap my mind around the fact that I was going there, but I’ve actually grown fond of it, so I’m feeling much better. In one sense, I still feel like I belong at Georgetown, but I’m sure I’m going to be happy at BC too, just maybe not quite as happy as I’m imagining I would be at Georgetown.
But who knows, at this point, it seems that I’m being sent a message that Georgetown is not the place for me–after 3 times, that message is finally coming through loud and clear. Maybe it was just not meant to be.</p>

<p>ywna49, I know it is cliche but I do believe everyone ends up where they are meant to be. Of course, figuring out where that is can be agonizing. I know that I didn’t end up where I thought I wanted to be but instead where my father wanted me to go. Well, outside my very first class on the first day of college, I met my now husband. We have been together since 1982, have 3 children, and married almost 25 years. So, you never know what fate has planned for you.</p>

<p>Thank God my D is not on extended wait list. Finally a closure.
micrus1896 I agree with your sentiments completely.</p>

<p>I got 2 emails from them and then this one… very weird… did anyone else get it? </p>

<p>We are writing because you were inadvertently sent two emails from us regarding the status of your application to Georgetown University. The email that you received stating that you have been denied from the Waiting List was the correct one. The second email was sent in error. You will also receive a letter in the mail, which will confirm your admissions decision.</p>

<pre><code> We apologize for any confusion that this second email may have caused you. We wish you the best in your future academic endeavors
</code></pre>

<p>i got this too. Kind of glad that im not on the extended waiting list though. Closure feels good</p>

<p>Yes! My daughter got the same messages. She was not impressed! Anyways, before the correction email was sent to her, she had already declined being placed on the exended waitlist. She does not want to be a “plan B or even C”, whereas she has ben admitted in seven great schools.</p>

<p>First, congrats to all u young men/woman who have worked so hard to b considered for admission to all these wonderful schools. I never had the chance when I was growing up. I realize that many of u have been thru a lot with this process. My son is in the same boat as many of u. It’s heartbreaking to c the pain in his face when he was waitlisted and then rejected at GT, Duke, Wash. St louis, NW…etc, etc. We just could not understand it. His act and gpa average both non-weighted and weighted were way above others who got in and placed him among the top of all applicants. Two Boys who live in r area and went to his school had worse grades and test scores but both were admitted to the univer. of Chicago. For the life of me I just can’t understand the process. It makes little sense. My son has been a bookworm all his life. So I got mad. One day I said to him, “jack, aren"t u upset? he looks at me and says " no dad”. I say " why not"? He says " thanks to u and mom I have lived a life that many kids can only dream about" . I’m thankful for what I have. I was speecless, and then walked into my study so that he would not c me crying. Later he added, dad, " i want to go where I’m wanted" and it’s not how u start the race, it’s how u finish". “After all, secretariat was last around the first turn in the derby”. Out of the mouths of babes</p>
