<p>ectransfer2011,</p>
<p>I wasn’t thinking about it in terms of transfer waitlist vs freshman waitlist; Georgetown has a strict number of students it is allowed to enroll (because of DC regulations). So, the way I was looking at it is that because 20-30 people are over-enrolled, they could possibly admit 20-30 less people during transfer admissions in order to remain under whatever regulations they have to follow. It’s not unusual at all for freshman enrollment to affect transfer admissions. Just a theory.</p>
<p>^ Sorry, I think I misinterpreted your earlier post. That makes sense and would really suck if the number of transfers got cut.</p>
<p>If it calms your nerves at all, an admission officer said they hadn’t even made a decision on my file yet-- meaning that there are some files they haven’t even gotten to yet. I really don’t think the freshman wait list will affect us that much. If our credentials are better, then they’ll accept us. That’s how I choose to see it.</p>
<p>^I think you’re definitely right. I also think you have a great shot of getting in, so don’t let the waitlist thing affect you until you are waitlited–if that even happens.</p>
<p>Hopes, can you let me know what they say after you call tomorrow? Thanks</p>
<p>^Yeah, sure. I’ll ask whether the unexpected increase in enrolling freshman will affect us transfers. Also, I’ll ask what exactly should we address in a letter to the adcom if we’re waitlisted, and how long should that letter be. If you have anything else you’d like to know, feel free to tell me.</p>
<p>^One quick thing: When will we receive our official waitlist letter? Thanks</p>
<p>^No problem. I’ll be sure to ask these questions and post my findings on this thread.</p>
<p>I would honestly be surprised if freshman overenrollment didn’t affect transfer numbers. Look at Duke, they overenrolled for the Class of 2014 and as a result their transfer numbers went from about 80 to 16 this year.</p>
<p>GREAT NEWS!!! WOW!!!GREAT NEWS!!! I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance!</p>
<p>Just wanted to say hi and I’m following this thread too. I’m a transfer student and have heard nothing back yet…</p>
<p>I’m going a little crazy…</p>
<p>I just talked to an admissions officer and… I GOT ACCEPTED!!! yaaaaay!</p>
<p>Just got the e-mail a few minutes ago 
I was accepted. Just no word on financial aid yet…</p>
<p>@realtransfer me too!!! what is your major???</p>
<p>@slynch26 Government :)</p>
<p>@Realtransfers – Did you find out because you requested an early read? Or did you just get the acceptance normally? I applied to the college too and haven’t heard anything… but then again my interview was the last week of April. Ahh I’m getting so anxious!</p>
<p>@real transfer, me too!!! what year are you?</p>
<p>@ectransfer, I requested an early read for next week, but they told me today via email</p>
<p>@ectransfer2011 I was doing a University of Miami survey while waiting for 5pm to roll around so I could check Columbia’s decision, and when I submitted the survey I got an e-mail. Thinking it was just one of those “Thank you for participating in our survey” e-mails, I open my mail and see an e-mail from Georgetown titled “Decision Letter.”</p>
<p>And yeah, that’s how it happened. :)</p>
<p>@slynch26 Junior, I’m assuming, since I just finished my second (and last) year at a community college.</p>
<p>hey guys. been following the thread but i haven’t really created an account until now. received a decision letter from the college less than an hour ago…I got in! i didn’t request an early read for those wondering</p>
