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.
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.
Has anyone heard of other students who have been accepted off of the waitlist to any of the other schools at GT?
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
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.)
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?
