Georgetown Fall 2017 Transfer

@bobsmith5101 your friend is wrong. Also, who cares?

@Robinyoursoul it’s like @Mycatsnameispups said - give it time. Also I’m pretty sure that there’s a separate veteran committee that reviews our applications. There’s no way all four of us got rejected from a “military friendly” school

I was just wondering if any minorities got in @Collegestuff202 I care obviously as I am asking

I do wounder how many vets actually apply to Georgetown as transfers.

@bobsmith5101 Hey man the university demographics are online you can google it. It’s also about 46% white, over 50% female, with just over 50% being non white minority.

@bobsmith5101 I’m a DACA student, latino. AKA “undocumented” (but not really) first generation college in the US and I got in. I also know friends up in GU that are Hispanic as well. I don’t think they care too much about that in admissions. But most people in GU are white (nothing wrong with that).

Hey has anyone who got in gotten their credit evaluation back? How long did it take?

@iMacHD Good point… I have not received it and it has been more than a week since I got accepted. Things must be really busy over at GU

Hi guys, so until now all accepted no rejected?

@RMCFRAUL7 yeah. No rejections posted here yet

Hi All,

I got accepted to SFS on Thursday May 4. My major is Science, Technology and International Affairs. I applied for financial aid, but haven’t heard from them yet. I am an international student, and some students told me that they do not offer financial assistance to international transfer students.

i did get an email saying I prob won’t be offered a spot as I asked for an early review…just so you guys know @Robinyoursoul @RMCFRAUL7

Got my FA package yesterday, I’m low income and they pretty much gave me a full ride. If anyone is worried about not being able to pay for GU, don’t be. Holy sh*t

@bobsmith5101 Because you asked for an early review?

idk if it was bc I asked for an early review and it pissed them off or what, but theyre like sorry ***** you ainnntttt getttinnn in boiiiii @SallyByGravenor

still haven’t got a decision, Lol. all good. off to Brown next semester. best of luck to all of you, and i wish you the best.

@nottodaycc awesome job getting into Brown. Best of luck out there.

After seeing some of the comments, I’ve decided to stop worrying about waiting for the decision email. Like @Mycatsnameispups said, I’m a professional in the “hurry-up-and-wait” business and will do just that. If the end of May comes around and I still haven’t heard anything I’ll put my deposit down for GWU and continue to wait it out.

@Gonzalo0927 how’d you get FA if you’re under DACA if you don’t mind me asking

For those who have been accepted so far, when do you have to decide whether to accept the offer? Do they always give you until June 15?

@herezaquarter ya we still have until the 15th

Echoing comments about FA- My family’s financial situation was all over the place this year and our FAFSA was a mess so we had to submit a ton of extra documentation. My parents are divorced but have a joint college account for me and my sister and both contribute to cover the full cost of my education. We’ve learned the hard way that high incomes + big savings + confusing financial situation = no aid.

Not at Georgetown. Still didn’t get any grant aid, but I qualified for work study and have the option to take out additional low-interest loans not offered to me by other schools. This might not sound like a lot but it’s by far the best offer I’ve gotten. I’ve ultimately decided not to enroll at GU, but still wanted to give a shoutout to their financial aid office for giving me something to use as leverage in my fight to get work study at the school I will be attending :slight_smile:

@luci ballon it comes in the form of scholarships not federal aid
