<p>Waitlisted. Garrrr! Does GTown accept people off the waitlist?</p>
<p>I got waitlisted too. Didnt you get that insert, Sean? It shows the breakdown of waitlist people that get in. Basically if you applied anywhere but nursing you have 0 chance at gettin in off the waitlist.</p>
<p>I was almost certain that it was coming in today, but the mail came and nothing from Georgetown! Ugh!</p>
<p>Was the waiting list insert blue?</p>
<p>I believe it was yellow, actually.</p>

<p>Waitlisted SFS…wow…I felt for sure I was getting rejected since I didn’t take SAT II’s…I’ve already got practically a full ride to another great school though, so I’m not too upset. 800 V 760 M 4.0 UW, 3/500</p>
<p>Rejected…I had a savage req from a Jesuit who went/taught there, and I applied for Theatre…</p>
<p>**** man, my two best friends got in also.</p>
<p>I live in SoCal… ahhh… I want my</p>
<p>1) seemingly blue, thin envelope
or
2) uh… thin envelope</p>
<p>lols I guess it’ll come either Saturday or Monday… I hope it does tomorrow… but I always forget to check cause I never seem to think that the post office works on saturdays har har</p>
<p>Rejected… :-(</p>
<p>it’s okay though, it’s for the best honestly, I probably wouldn’t have even been able to til next year go due to medical problems. Anyways, my new plan is to go apply to a Congress Internship, that has housing, and get permission to take a class at Georgetown at night. I don’t give up on my dreams, not ever. After all, I have an A.S at 18, I don’t need to rush that much.</p>
<p>Waitlisted–
I WILL get in off that list. Anyone know if it would help to get off the waitlist by trying to get recruited for diving post-fact?</p>

<p>General Comments/Congratulations/etc:</p>
<p>waitlisted … anyone have any ideas as to how many students have been offered admission from that waitlist in the past for georgetown COLLEGE?
thanks</p>
<p>i hear that “bothering” the school (calling a lot, checking the ‘status’ of your application) can help because everytime you call they make a mark on your file…it shows interest…and hey it may help.</p>
<p>Accepted (SFS)</p>
<p>Stats
SAT I: 2170 (650M, 750V, 770W)
SAT II: Lit 790, US Hist 710, Math II 640
ACT: 30 (I have no idea if I sent this to them or not)
GPA: 4.0 UW, 4.8 W (ranked first in class)
Other exciting things: National Merit Finalist, sister just graduated from Georgetown and is probably going their law school in the fall, I live at dance and theatre rehearsals and never sleep and when I’m not not sleeping I’m at my part-time job… also, I write good. ;-)</p>
<p>Oh, and my counselor recommendation was THE most amazing thing you will ever read in your life. Not amazing in a good way… amazing in a “when admissions officers look at it they think ‘What kind of crack is this counselor on?! We HAVE to let this girl in now, poor thing’” way. It was a page-long extended metaphor comparing me to a yacht. I strongly believe that this is why I got into five and a half schools.</p>
<p>to those waitlisted–
what school at gtown did you apply to?
are you going to stay on the waitlist or concentrate on other schools you have been accepted to instead?</p>
<p>has anyone heard from McDonough yet?!?!</p>
<p>anyone hear from nhs yet</p>
<p>I’m staying on the waitlist, but I’m basically just gonna forget about it. The acceptance rate off the waitlist is practically nill.</p>
