What are you turning down to come to gtown?

<p>just exactly wat the title says...</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure I'll be going to Georgetown, in which case I'll be turning down Harvard (waitlist). I thought about it for a long time, and I think that Georgetown is a better place for me and for undergrads in general (a view shared by a friend of mine who is a Harvard prof).</p>

<p>Harvard (waitlist) and Northwestern among the super top-tier schools...was also admitted with scholarships to NYU and GW/Elliott, as well as McGill.</p>

<p>I agree, even if admitted to Harvard at this point off the waitlist--it seems somewhat likely that I may get a deferred admission offer at least, with all my efforts to get into that place, don't even get me started about that saga--I think I will choose Georgetown. My history teacher this year is writing one final supplemental rec for the waitlist and he sort expressed that he felt SFS would put me in a better place from the undergrad. perspective and that Harvard would be a better bet for grad school. </p>

<p>I just think socially DC/Georgetown is way better than Cambridge... I mean how can you compete with M Street and Wisconsin Ave?!?! You can't!</p>

<p>Princeton and Yale.
My friends and teachers think I'm crazy (I am). But seriously - DC v. Princeton/New Haven?? Not even a fair fight. Plus, Georgetown just felt more fun. What's the point of college if all you're going to do is study? Anyways, look forward to seeing you all next year!!</p>

<p>Brandeis University, University of Marland Gemstone Program, Johns Hopkins, LeHigh University, George Washington, Duke(waitlist)</p>

<p>My d turned down Hopkins (BME) ,Lehigh,GW and Lafayette</p>

<p>bc, bu, william and mary, and gw/elliot...made honors programs at all and got a half tuition scholarship to bu and gw, which was hard for my parents to let me turn down considering gtown gave me no financial aid =/ but hey georgetown is where i wanna be, now im just up to my waist in private scholarships</p>

<p>Bentley ( with $10 000 scholarship per year), Brandeis,McGill, Tufts, Cornell, Swarthmore waitlist...

<p>Duke and Hopkins</p>

<p>I turned down NYU, with a $10000/year scholarship, Tulane, with a $22000/year scholarship, and UF honors college with a full bright futures scholarship. Actually, Georgetown is the only school I applied to that didn't offer anything except for itself, lol. God I hope it's worth it.</p>
