Georgetown 2015 Fall Transfer Thread

@Luthsn Thank you! Congratulations to you as well! I am doing the same, Regional and Comparative Studies.

Does anybody know where we should send our final transcript to? I was accepted to MSB on May 1st.

So, based on historical trends, this week should be the shift from a trickle to a flood of acceptances right?

Finals are coming up fast, and this whole waiting situation is distracting.

I truly hope so. My finals are this week and I’m still waiting to hear back from Georgetown and several other schools… I’m so tired of waiting just because my anxiety and stress on wanting to know where I’ll end up next fall is interfering with my finals studying and trying to enjoy my last few days at school.

@Shackleton yes last year I believe this was the biggest week. Though the week of the 18-22 still had a decent amount of acceptances.

Got accepted to MSB on the 8th; still waiting to hear back from Duke, NW and Stern
HS GPA: 95ish
College GPA: 4.0 (Canadian school)
SAT CR: 740, Math 760, W 790
Great work experience (investment banks), good EC, good rec, average essays (didn’t spend much time)

For those going into MSB, any thoughts on MSB vs Duke, NW, Stern?

@lunatransfer2015 what Canadian school if you don’t mind me asking?

Was it by email or by phone call @AJCoastie when you requested early read

Man, I have to decide for other schools by June 1st. I hope I at least hear a decision this week.

@rendevous It was by email. I went to a transfer seminar and spoke to one an admissions director about my situation. He gave me his business card and I sent him an email explaining my circumstances. He said that a record of our emails would be placed in my admissions file.

He said the earliest they could do it would be May 1st, but that has clearly come and gone.

Is there a chance of any letters coming out before Thursday?

@shackleton why do you believe letters will come out thursday?

@princesstransfer hoping they come sooner, but they seemed to last week.

I called the Admissions Office yesterday asking for an expedited decision because I had a pending deposit due somewhere else, and they gave me the email address of the officer specific to my school to ask for permission. She told me that they do give expedited decisions to students in the same position as me- definitely worth a shot!

@arr1996 hi, is it possible for you to PM me the email address of the officer? I am also in the same position as you but I am an international applicant :frowning: and GT undergraduate admissions are so slow in responding emails

well… i was admitted on May 1, but I still haven’t got a package… Anyone has a similar situation?

@isabellea hi! so apparently the email address depends on what school/major you applied to. I called the Office of Undergrad Admissions (they pick up right away) and the woman on the phone gave me the email address to use. Definitely try that, it should work for you

@ycex34 I was admitted May 7th and I received my package. Maybe you should call

There’s been quite a few MSB acceptances already on this thread… I keep thinking in my head that they’ve already accepted all of the MSB students and are now just waiting to send out rejections. Does anyone have a clear knowledge as to how far GT admissions is into this whole process?

Emailed the guy for MSB earlier today and asked for an expedited decision. I hope it doesn’t negatively affect my chances asking for a decision sooner.
