<p>Probably Mon. for GA…can’t wait.</p>

322

<p>if they were sent on thursday, wont most people recieve them on saturday?</p>

323

<p>omg, thats so exciting. i think i might just try to sleep til monday so it will be here sooner! but then again i don’t think i’ll be able to get any sleep knowing that my letter is in the mail somewhere between dc and my house.</p>

324

<p>Thursday? Wow, that means I would receive it on Saturday–tomorrow!</p>

<p>I wish I could sleep until Monday. But alas, I’ve got to work tomorrow and Sunday.</p>

325

<p>Okay I’m a little confused. Did the decisions get mailed out on Thurday or Friday (today)? Can someone please confirm?</p>

326

<p>Best of Luck to the Georgetown Class of 2009! </p>

<p>I got my letter on a Saturday last year. You guys should have them by Monday though because there are signs around campus about needing student volunteers to call accepted students Tuesday-Thursday.</p>

328

<p>Thanks sportula. Has anyone else been able to confirm whether the decisions were mailed on Thursday?</p>

329

<p>ok i called admissions today and they told me that the letters were mailed today, Friday…i don’t know where moonperl heard that they were mailed on thurs.</p>

<p>Here are my not-so-fantabulous unphotos!</p>

I’m on the far right, with Strobe Talbott and Stephen Cohen of the Brookings Institute.</p>

<p>Thanks for clearing that up, Mike. Now I can at least sleep through the night! I was about to hang around the mailbox all day, but I guess that’ll have to wait till Monday.</p>

332

<p>Whoa, I’ve never heard of school recruiting students to call accepted students and urge them to matriculate. So I guess if we don’t find out on Monday (west coast), we may be in line for a phone call?</p>

<p>That would be scary.</p>

333

<p>Good Luck, Future Hoyas!</p>

<p>this is my first time posting on this site ever so i’m not sure if i’m doing this right. i’ve been watching the georgetown forum for maybe 3 months now and i’ve finally gotten a username. i talked to georgetown yesterday and they definitely sent out decisions. i’m really nervous because i live in a suburb of DC in Maryland so I’m expecting to get the decision today…the mail comes at 3…and i’ve been up since 7 because i couldn’t sleep. i feel like i’m in this weird state of limbo because i cant do any work since i keep thinking about everything this decision means. anyway, i just wanted to say good luck to all of you!</p>

335

<p>Bulldog, let us know when the time comes my friend.</p>

336

<p>Wow, good luck. I guess you’ll be the first of us to know.</p>

337

<p>thanks guys. i’m trying to stay calm and find a way to rationalize whatever happens. i mean SFS is really competitive…and getting deferred isn’t the end…ahhhhh</p>

338

<p>no getting deferred isn’t the end at all. i was really bored and freaking out last night and i figured out that out of everyone that applied ea about 47% will get in eventually whether it’s getting in right away or being deferred and then getting in later! so just keep your fingers crossed guys!</p>

339

<p>I’ll be having the same thoughts and feelings as I sit in 8th period on Monday waiting for the bell to ring. :)</p>

<p>Regardless of what happens in the next 3 hours, since your applying to G’town you’re also probably applying to other fantastic schools where you’re likely to get in. Look at it this way: you’re going to be successful if you want to, and it’s up to G-town to decide if they want to be part of it or not (this is at least the mindset I’m going to take to the mailbox).</p>

340

<p>Katie, sorry to do this, but 47% of EAers will not get in eventually. It’s 15% of those who are deferred (about 75%) that will eventually get in, so the actual percentage that gets in eventually is not near 47% :(</p>
