<p>I called the admissions office and it is single-spaced. for all who were wondering</p>
<p>Georgetown1</p>
<p>Yeahhh… I honestly wouldn’t recommend Georgetown for mathematics, but I can say that we do have a decent curriculum, and advanced mathematical logic courses are offered by the philosophy department (in conjunction with the mathematics department) on a regular basis. But yeah, I’d recommend Carnegie Mellon, or other more science-y schools like Rice, Swarthmore, and Haverford if you really want that hardcore math fix.</p>
<p>I’m actually choosing mathematics as part of the “pre-engineering” classes. After I receive my B.A. from Georgetown, I would then finish up my engineering courses at another university. </p>
<p>Which reminds me… do you think that I would have a better shot at being accepted because mathematics at Georgetown isn’t extremely difficult?</p>
<p>Nope, not at all.</p>
<p>hey i applied to gtown last year and was rejected.
stats:
high school gpa (weighted) 4.3/4.0
college gpa 3.93/4.0
sats 1570/1600
act 35/36</p>
<p>i want to reapply and since my grades are really good this year and im coming from northwestern i think i stand a decent chance. i loveeeeedddd my essays last year and the prompts are the same. could i resuse them? at least the creative, personal statement one? i will incorporate my reasons for transferring into the why gtown one but does it hurt me to leave the other one untouched? how much do the essays even count in this process and would they check to see if i was reusing them?</p>

<p>You’ll be admitted, in all likelihood, unless you do something like…</p>
<p>…submit your old essays. Definitely a bad idea, since the admissions committee has your previous application. I don’t care how could it was. Burn the midnight oil and churn out another masterpiece.</p>
<p>@transferfrosh</p>
<p>you should get in easily. but i would definitley write new essays or at least change them a little. since your grades and sat scores are really good, im guessing your essays were the reason you were denied last year.</p>
<p>thanks! </p>
<p>i am writing new ones… ughhhh</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Probably not. There are, literally, too many qualified applicants for not enough spots. Sometimes it’s just a tough call.</p>
<p>flowerhead- if i retook the act and got the same score and schools saw this, would it hurt me?</p>
<p>Probably not, but I would’ve questioned the wisdom of taking it twice and scoring the same. Doesn’t reflect sound judgment, but that’s just me. I don’t know how another would take it.</p>
<p>Agreed haha</p>
<p>do you think a 29 and a 1980 on the sat will affect my chances of getting in to georgetown, columbia, brown, and/or cornell</p>
<p>DABEARS34 I am certain they don’t care either way, I mean if it was pertinent, they would mention it. I certainly know where your coming from though, I am in panic mode attempting to write my essays. / :</p>
<p>You all shouldn’t be scared. Just put your best foot forward and be yourself. If it was meant to be, great things will happen. If it wasn’t, plenty of people have amazing lives who did not go to Georgetown.</p>
<p>hey, im applying as a transfer student for the fall.</p>
<p>my situation is kind of weird. i started going to a community college when i was 16, and this is my second year there. I have a 4.0 and im in a lot of clubs etc…i also volunteer at gtown hospital every week. i know im sucking up. lol anyway i was wondering, how much do you think the SAT counts for transfers? I only took it once 2 years ago and i didnt do too great. I only got 1280/1600. I’m kind of worried about this. please let me know id really appreciate it!</p>

<p>They count a lot for people coming from community colleges or obscure colleges. Sadly, I think your age and SAT score will hold you back.</p>
<p>Do you mind me asking, why my age is a factor in this?</p>
<p>i just took my sat2s and did pretty bad (as in 550-650 range =/) theyre optional for transfers but will they hold it against me? i took them…just did bad.</p>
<p>To michaelungerrr: Use the “score choice” option that the SAT has made available and choose not to send the SAT 2 scores if you are concerned.</p>
