<p>Okay, so here is my situation. As many of you know this mutual feeling, I am waiting eagerly for decisions to come out. In the beginning of my senior year, I received various hand written letters from the Georgetown Admissions head telling me to come there for med school after my undergrad there. I had phone calls, student alumni calling me, letters in the mail, scholarship info, and I was the first one in NC to receive a packet to come to Georgetown. I was quite oblivious to all this as I did not know Georgetown very well and did not think of it as a good school. Now I clearly know how good of a school Georgetown is and am unsure why they would want me so bad. Decisions will come out in week or so, however, do you think its still a possibility to contact admissions and tell them my situation for the heck of it? I mean I have already been accepted elsewhere, but still Georgetown guaranteed me admission into their 7 year med school!!! I mean Med School is never a guarantee... Please advice me :(</p>
<p>I don't understand. What is your "situation?" </p>
<p>Is it that you regret not taking them seriously a few months ago and now you really want to go there? Did you submit an application to Georgetown before the deadline? If they admit you, will you be able to afford it?</p>
<p>Oh sorry forgot to mention, THAT I DID NOT APPLY THERE!... The reason was a timing issue and the situation I was in.. I mean I just realized that they are a great school overall and there med program is superb.. I was just oblivious to this all until recently..</p>
<p>If you did not apply then you can't get in. Sorry.</p>
<p>Wow this is the stupidest situation I've ever heard of...</p>
<p>.....really?</p>
<p>Yeah this was pretty dumb...</p>
<p>Insofar as Georgetown does not have a "7 year med school" option, the way some schools do, I am inclined to believe this is a hoax.</p>
<p>Yeah this does seem kind of unbelievably odd...</p>
<p>Why are you asking us?</p>

<p>@bluecoffee - Based on your grammatical errors, spelling errors, lack of coherence and lack of knowledge about the great colleges, I sure wouldn't want you to ever be my doctor. Please rethink medicine, enroll in your local community college and try for a job at Dunder Mifflin after you get your Associate's Degree.</p>
<p>You certainly are a hard worker but not a good test taker...your ACT and SAT are quite below what you'd expect for Georgetown to be "begging" as you so explained. (or maybe it's because your school is new and has some grade inflation or easy classes)</p>
<p>I don't believe this situation at all either. Also, if you didn't know what Georgetown was...then I can safely assume that you don't belong there especially seeing you haven't even thoroughly looked at colleges to know Georgetown...Idk, I keep rambling but the bottom line is, (redundant) this is stupid.</p>
<p>Yeah, weird story...</p>
<p>Sure you don't mean Georgetown College KY?</p>
<p>Sorry R124867 some people here are being trolls. At the same time, I think it's odd Georgetown would recruit you so heavily considering your SAT/ACT scores aren't anything special for that school. Your HS record is great but most of the time colleges don't have access to that much of it until you apply, so I don't think there would be much reason for them to know to contact you.</p>
<p>In summary, I think it is most likely that
a) you were hoaxed
b) you were recruited by Georgetown College (a Baptist college in Kentucky)</p>
<p>And also I don't think you can be accepted without sending an application.</p>
<p>worst comes to worst, you'll just have to take a gap year and apply again.</p>
<p>big mistake indeed.</p>
<p>Okay, to all of you who believe that this is a stupid question... let me rephrase it. If they were so heavily recruiting me, do I have the slightest chance of possible acceptance (this being a special case). Obviously this is a .01 % chance. I know that, I am not stupid. Also the immature comments cough <em>FlaPops</em> are not necessary for this thread yet alone forum. I do agree, that it would be weird of them to recruit me so heavily. As already pointed out, my test scores aren't exactly the cream of the crop. I can only think of one reason as to why they may so heavily want me, but I will not say as to protect my own privacy. And no I am not any celebrity, just another hard working student.</p>
<p>bluecoffee: getting all sorts of attention doesn't necessarily mean they would have accepted you or even that you were being recruited.

<p>That's just "the college marketing arm" at work. Their goal is to have as many applicants apply as possible. Georgetown is not a school that accepts a student without an application and out of the normal channels.</p>
<p>I understand this, but I assume that it means I have a very good chance. Hence, the reason I was asking. I also have a letter for proof from an admissions rep. But really do not feel like print screening it.</p>
<p>Please just forget this thread, its no point arguing over something non-existent ATM. I am sure many of you are worked-up due to the upcoming d-day of ivies and other schools. Good luck to all!</p>
