does anyone know if transfer students can apply their GPAs from their first school to georgetown for latin honors consideration? (i.e can i carry a 3.97 into Georgetown towards summa cum laude at graduation?)
I was a transferred from Boston College and my GPA did not transfer. However, I did receive credit for all of my courses. Your GW GPA will be taken into consideration when you apply for internships because you usually need to provide both transcripts. I wouldn't worry about it though. I ended my first year at Georgetown with a higher GPA than what I had coming from BC. Congrats on Gtown btw!
What are the questions that they asked for the transfer essay/ sup.?
Can any of you tell me what are the prompts for the transfer essay (s)? They are no longer on G's webpage but I would like to what questions they asked this year and how many words the adcoms want. I am thinking about applying to SFS.
thanks
Well the first essay was standard for all applicants...it was a 500 word essay telling the adcom about yourself. i think the prompt specifically said it could be creative, or just more like a biography. cant help you on the SFS one though. i applied to the college.
