<p>^^ Ha! They left out the part where they throw the pile down a flight of stairs and the ones that make it to the bottom get accepted… :-</p>
<p>The article’s from 2003, they didn’t start doing the stairs thing until '04</p>
<p>^^^i wish that was a joke</p>
<p>yeah i got deferred from gtown too. i was expecting to get in. oh well</p>
<p>Please be kidding. I don’t think that’s serious but really where did you get that idea?</p>
<p>Don’t worry, that article is still the way they do it.</p>
<p>LOL Mario yesterday at 6:07pm. Yes, I suspected as much.</p>
<p>Harvardbound: Wow, yes I was kidding…</p>
<p>I was also deferred and spent the next couple of days under my blankets. But I have recovered and I am going to write a letter to admissions telling them that GU is where I am supposed to be. I am also applying RD to two other schools and in April I will wait to see who accepts me and who doesn’t. This has been one of the most miserable experiences of my life and I am not looking forward to repeating it in April - so GU don’t let me down again!!!</p>
<p>Quick Question. I ahve taken 2 SAT 2’s. Do i need ot take a third to be considered in the spring? I really dont want to.</p>
<p>Yes Georgetown asks for 3</p>
<p>Requires or Recommends. Im not taking a third again but my SAT 1 went up quite a bit and im wondering if it is worth my time to send the new scores to georgetown or if i wont even be looked at because i only have 2 subject tests</p>
<p>“Strongly Recommends”, so you’ll still be considered with 2, but it will be a slight detriment to your application. DO send the new scores.</p>
<p>Thanks for the good news :)</p>
<p>Actually, 3 subject tests are “strongly recommended” for EA applicants, but Georgetown “requires” all 3 subject tests for RD applicants. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Wow. I completely forgot about CollegeConfidential - too busy checking out the law school equivalents, but decided to stop in on a random whim.</p>
<p>I’m a senior at Georgetown now - I was deferred from the EA cycle and was accepted in the SFS. I wrote a Letter of Interest (I’m so tempted to call it LOCI - Letter of Continued Interest) talking about how great a fit Georgetown would be, updated them on some new projects I had been working on, and did the whole Go Hoyas thing. </p>
<p>I had an above-the-median GPA (3.8?) but lower than median SAT score (whoops, almost called it LSAT there) - had a 1360 (660 M, 700 V - this was before the writing section was incorporated.) </p>
<p>For those of you who are still hoping for Georgetown, don’t lose faith - a deferral isn’t the end of the world or your Georgetown application, and it’s a fantastic school.</p>
<p>So when I send my midterm grades, and they are lower than my gpa from before, am I completely screwed??</p>
<p>Hey guys!
I’m new to CC and I was just wondering if any of you could help me out (provided anyone is still checking this thread). </p>
<p>I was deferred EA at GU this December and I’ve been thinking about what the next steps would be for me. I read about this “letter of intention” that you all were talking about. Is there an actual form that one can download to do this or is it really just a letter addressed to the admissions office?</p>
<p>Also, for the letter, what kinds of things have people notified GU of besides mid-year grades and scores (I’m done with all of my standardized testing)?</p>
<p>Let me know what you think my chances are of getting in RD, please.
