<p>Hello all,</p>
<p>I’ve been reading this thread, and a number of others, and I have a particular dilemma in regards to Georgetown transfer admissions with which I would appreciate some help.</p>
<p>Firstly, I’m a non-traditional student. I earned a GED (Reading: 800, Writing: 800, Math: 660, Science: 720, Social Studies: 800) and began attending a regionally ranked local accredited college fall of last year, with the hopes of transferring.</p>
<p>My GPA is 3.9, composite SAT is 1280/1980 (CR 730, Math 550-- I’ve never been good at math), and I applied to Georgetown College for Linguistics. I have quite a few extracurricular, three excellent recommendations, and, not to come off as over-confident, but my essays were quite good, and I also took the initiative to send the university some other writing samples that I felt were particularly indicative of my abilities.</p>
<p>However, here’s the problem:</p>
<p>I also applied to a number of other schools, and I have a deposit down at the University of Arizona (where I would be doing a double major in Near Eastern Studies and Linguistics, in the university’s Honors College), and I am also registered for orientation in early June.</p>
<p>I intend to eventually earn a PhD in Linguistics, so naturally, Georgetown would probably be the more prudent choice given The College’s reputation for linguistics. I’m still in the process of deciding which school to attend (should I be admitted to Georgetown)-- but when can I expect a decision?</p>
<p>I’ve seen a great deal of conflicting information across the internet on when I ought to be receiving a decision. Optimally, I’d like a decision as soon as possible so I can cancel my arrangements at the U of A if need be.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
