smwhtslghtlydzed is absolutely right–all hope is not lost for deferrees! I know, looking at that 10% acceptance rate stat it seems a little hopeless at first (I was deferred too, and it certainly felt like I no longer had any chance), but we really have no clear idea where we stand amongst the deferrals. Who knows, you could’ve been right near the borderline and didn’t make it in by a smidge; it’s just hard to know since Georgetown doesn’t reject anyone EA, so it’s not like we can comfort ourselves knowing we were at least better than some other applicants!
If you have the opportunity, you should see if your counselor is willing to call your admissions rep to get any details you can on why you were deferred, especially if there’s nothing glaring on your application that is a likely suspect. I had my counselor do this the other day, and I’m actually feeling better now that I got a positive response and a little confidence boost from my rep! Good luck with RD!
