A little late but…accepted into McDonough School of Business!
I feel so fortunate to have so many school options, including USC and Cornell. Making a college choice will definitely be a tough one (I love all three schools). Now I’m just waiting for the Financial Aid…
rejected but accepted by Yale and Brown so its all g. the whole process is truly a lottery!
@“International Dad” I didn’t mainly because of how scared I was about that affecting my chance of admission
P.S Does anyone know if there’s’ an admitted students group on facebook or somewhere? Congratulations to everyone!
.65 envelope with no window in Houston today. D19 was accepted. Mail came just minutes before online for us.
Rejected for Walsh School.
White Jewish Male, NoVa.
1470 SAT, 780/780/580 (oof) SAT2s (WH/USH/Spanish)
4.15 WGPA, 3.9 UW
5 AP classes (2 5s, 3 in progress)
ECs: Eagle Scout, Scholastic Bowl Team Captain, 4 years of AFJROTC (variety of roles), 4 years of International (Diversity) Club (variety of roles), Boys State Scholarship Delegate, 2 years of MUN (Deputy SG), part time job.
IMO had good essays and killed my interview.
Pretty disappointed because Georgetown was my absolute dream school. The other three schools I got accepted to all have at least one significant drawback (to be exact: location, program, cost, personal feelings) so I’m really not sure what I’m going to do.
Son waitlisted.
Is there a thread for waitlisted students?
Congrats to all those accepted! Current SFS sophomore here–I’m happy to answer questions anyone might have about Georgetown, whether its SFS specific or not. Congrats again and hoya saxa!
Found out I was admitted to the SFS on Saturday thanks to Informed Delivery, lol. I was deferred Early Action so I really had no faith that anything good would happen during the RD process. I’ve committed to a local state school already but after I get my financial aid stuff we will see if that changes.
SAT Subject Tests: All were terrible lol
ACT: 31
SAT:1350
Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 3.95
Weighted GPA (out of 5.0): 4.712
Rank: 1/167
Hooks: Mexican American
Still shocked I got in with the test scores that I had…just goes to show so much more is considered in the process! Good luck to you all and Hoya Saxa!
Any international students received financial aid notification yet? Hoya Saxa!
Do you have to do a study abroad as a SFS student?
@j1b2c3 Study abroad isn’t required, but many do study abroad (even if it’s only for a summer) and it’s a good way to get your language requirement done too, if you haven’t passed the proficiency test by then.
Deferred EA then waitlisted at SFS. Any hope for getting off the waitlist??
I got a nastygram from the moderators here last year for posting the letter with topline admission stats that goes out to all the interviewers, but I know the admissions office understands and expects that the info will be shared with applicants. It’s one of the reasons why they distribute it to all interviewers - so they can contextualize admissions decisions better for applicants who reach out to them post-decision. All this stuff gets put into the School Profile that’s published each summer anyway.
Anyway, paraphrasing is apparently ok, so here are some topline takeaways:

I hope this information provides some valuable context to readers here.
Did anyone else receive a letter from the office of the president about themselves?
@Bagelaz00 what did your letter say? Thanks!
@KatCenter It noted the competitive applicant pool and commended me on my participation in specific extra-curricular activities they found especially impressive. They said they were looking forward to seeing me on campus next year.
@Bagelaz00 I believe all the SFS applicants who got in got a personalized letter. Or at least all the SFS kids in my year did. It’s a nice touch from admissions
Yes ours came yesterday. Thanks!
Is there a facebook group for Georgetown parents?
@OneAndOnlySJ, I’m not sure, but maybe you can start one? My brother attends a different university, and they have one, and my mom said it’s useful.
