Waitlist

<p>Does any know when wait-list results are decided? I have a friend who is simply dying to know</p>

<p>all final decisions are made by May 15th....so maybe a few days after that... I am dying to know too!</p>

<p>i know! i can't wait to be freed from this purgatory!</p>

<p>Actually my friend's son recieved a phone call last week and was offered a spot off the waitlist in the SFS. I heard that only SFS school will be taking students off waitlist.</p>

<p>how reliable is that information?</p>

<p>That sounds very sketchy.</p>

<p>The info I heard was from 2 different parents who have friends or relatives who are very active alum- one of which is on the board. I was reading these message boards since the fall and many of the students who were accepted early to the SFS commented on not making a decision until they heard from the ivies in April. Due to the fact tha Harvard and Princeton discontinued ED, I think many of these kids had the option of applying to GT EA. I personally know of 5 kids who were accepted but were hoping for Ivy and ended up being accepted to an ivy. I think the yield for the SFS was lower than other schools.</p>

<p>Has anyone heard of other students who have been accepted off of the waitlist to any of the other schools at GT?</p>

<p>I got THE call yesterday to confirm my interest and I OFFICIALLY GOT IN TODAAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! Hope you all get the good news too!!</p>

<p>What school did you apply to?</p>

<p>They also said they were accepting between 200-300 students from the 2000 waitlisted...I believe that encompasses the entire university, not just the College</p>

<p>Congrats georgetownwanabe! That's amazing. I have the same question as Jeydomz, which school did you apply to? Also, How were you notified? (phone call, mail, etc.)</p>

<p>ahhh i just got a call from a Gtown rep asking me if I'm still interested because they're going to committee tomorrow.</p>

<p>o wow I wish they would call me..... GT is my ultimate first choice</p>

<p>yo, iflylikepaper...</p>

<p>did you send in any additional supplements/extra waitlist interest letter.. stuff like that after you were waitlisted?</p>

<p>your phone call definitely is a good sign.... anyone who gets the "confirming interest" call always gets in usually the next day..</p>

<p>and was it georgetown college you applied to? SFS?</p>

<p>I wish I would get a call too! I really want to go to Gtown as well. I applied to MSB and I did send in extra material, but I haven't gotten a call (so I don't know if that really helped or not!) Oh and which part of Gtown did you all apply to?</p>

<p>i stalk this website way too much; the suspense is killing me!</p>

<p>I hope not getting a call doesnt mean that I'm not getting in......</p>

<p>i applied to the college! i'm just worried because i've never visited and her phone call made it seem that if i wanted to be discussed at committee i had to be sure i was going..</p>

<p>dolcederonda: the suspense is killing me too!
ngkelvinsk: I feel the same way. I hope that doesn't mean that we're not being considered.
iflylikepaper: would not you take the offer if you were admitted? or do you mean that you never explicitly expressed your interest?</p>

<p>I cant take the waiting anymore either. I applied back in october, I've been waiting for Georgetown for over 6 months, and its finally killing me. I would be upset if I found out i wasn't accepted, but at least that feeling of closure would be better than this doubtful anticipation.</p>

<p>And I feel horrible that GT didn't call me. I've sent on several update letters, additional teacher recs, updated grades and ranks... i even travelled across state to meet with an admissions rep. I dont know what else more I can do, </p>

<p>good luck to everyone on the wait list</p>
