I mean that's like 100k people
lol fair
They said approximately 10% of 8,600 applicants
I would like to meet these mfs
😭
For once a2c acceptance rate worse than the actual
same like what am I supposed to do now 🧍
lol watch me not get in
i was turning down gtown anyway but
They accepted 1,629 students last year
EXACTLY
I'm gonna pretend this never happened and finish my American application 
1975-860 = 1,115
How many of ysll have gtown as #1 choice
welcome to new hoyas!
me
Legit no one
The only hoya left
Tumbleweeds
damn
A SINGULAR hoya
Not confirmed
Could be lying
Legit said I got in then dipped immediately
Only 1 message sent

there are none 
dont worry if y'all got deferred fr
@stone breach look at these stats tho
james did you get in early
Omg
yeah
its #8 but now you know its going downnnnn
damn
Do you remember stats
Whats the thread
Me
it's my number 1

Yeah
Deferred; what's the determiner? It is because I live in Maryland? ugh

My GPA was probably like 3.95/4 and 36
but seriously don't stress over the deferral
Very
Lost opportunity to say "Can be found in the main megathread thread linked below"
How many percent
If you recall
Well
Roughly
(Sorry, I’m coping)
The entire admissions team virtually and my interviewer got deferred and accepted
So that’s why I was like
“Ah, they want the child prodigies”
On the bright side, I have the LOCI to support me even more
- I can submit my portfolio on slideroom
I heard it’s by a significant margin
But what makes me worried
If it makes you feel better
3.62 weighted is low
Ah
yeah
Do you remember sending LOCI prior to EA app?
I have a 1540 SAT, 4.0 GPA UW, 5 AP, 53 credit hours at a local CC but I don’t think I explained it that well honestly 😭, 1/150 (unweighted) class rank
My school doesn’t weight gpa or rank^
You’re valedictorian?
Yuh
@soft root her
Wowww
send LOCI if ur deferred!! i applied RD last yr, got wled, sent my LOCI, and got in
Ppl from my school don’t really ever apply out of state though
damn
do you mind sharing your loci because i genuinely have no idea what a loci is supposed to be like 😭
Explains it even more
what do you think the strongest part of your appliaction is?
You’re a superstar
CONGRATS
Would you say u have strong ECs?
Like lots of leadership
The reddit guide online makes this intimidating
Another thing is like
Well the commonality I see is
High Stats
Involvement in Community Based Activity
Civic stuff
i had all of that 
I see
& luck
I suppose
Back to the LOCI
I want to try to emphasize a bunch of things
And I heard it has to be sent asap
Maybe over a cotinual period of time
My family hasn’t done any loci bcos they never applied gu
So I’m clueless
ya i didn’t use any guide
i think my format was like
reasons why i like school
updates on more awards/research/volunteer stuff i did
more reasons why i liked school
”i will go here if accepted” (i ended up not, oops)
Fuck I wish I sent my outside lor
Absolutely clueless
Would've been perfect
same except im the first person to do undergrad in the us so
Appreciate it
should i send an additional lor?
i didn’t, but i mean it wouldn’t hurt to
Discord just crashed lmao
i don’t see any downsides
do you mind sharing your LOCI lol
like in dm
Thank you chief
Yeah discord exploded
Basically, (like smith said too), if you don’t mind, that would be nice
And you only sent one LOCI right?
yeah, ill see if i can find it lol
If you can’t find it, don’t push yourself! Thank you!
@spice fox smh did you open or not
Lemme shower gng
Aigh I gotchu
!georgetown
HEYYY LETS GOO!!!!
So how’d it go?
HOLY CRAP
THATS AMAZING
BRO TOOK THE BIGGEST DUB
😭
Thank you ❤️
Kvd on top 💯
did you open it?
Yes I got in ❤️
my friend just got into georgetown
Do it
I thought I would be a for sure defer
I'm not valedictorian or 1600 SAT
No Intl awards
But I somehow got in ❤️
Did you get an email with the decision?
Or what is it in the portal?
I got an email, but idk if that has the decision or not
Email doesn't have decision
I clicked status update in portal
When r u opening
Once I get home
@wispy cave you probably already said this in this chat but did you get in? I’m too lazy to scroll up and I’ve seen you text on here a lot so I’m curious hahaah. I got rejected from my ED school but idk if I’ll apply to GTown. I submitted the fee and did the interview but my SAT score is sooo low that I don’t know if I should put in the effort to write the essays
Def
Major?
Smth physiology I forgot what exactly
any ea acceptances? i just joined from the subreddit
Deferred 😍
congrats i just saw that you got accepted!!! me too 🙂
i’m waiting to hear back from other schools (especially brown and uva) but it’s one of my top choices for sure
i can’t afford 88k per year tho 😭
There's a question mark for a reason
any other schools you’re interested in?
same. it’s the first decision i’ve gotten back so far so i was terrified to check my status
I GOT IN YAYYYYY
OMG YAY CONGRATSSSSSS
no you were wrong bc you got in too
no i want to leave dc 💀
ikr
Wild lmao
if only i didnt live right next to it 😭
man i wish I got in 😭
ig i just gotta wait and see for March now
the area is so pretty and the SFS is amazing
yesss
but also living there is different from visiting there
i wish i knew that b4 i chose my high school 
Congrats!!
Ngl it’s a rly nice place to live
OMG SLAYYYYYYYYY BIG W BRO I KNEW YOU HAD IT IN YOU
100% deserved (but also don't be shy drop those essays and resume 😋)
defer but a lot of people say defer->accept is very common so
Gtown seems to care a lot about stats but idk if that's for early or regular so if you can take the sat again or clutch up with other factors of your app id apply
thank you <3
Boston is waiting for us 💪
SLAYYYYYYY
deferred lol
but i kinda knew it cuz my application was very one dimensional
It’s alright, we get RD in the bag
They liked my writing so much
They want me to write a loci
HAHA LOVE THAT MENTALITY
Thanks!
Uchicago neggs
one can only dream
come to the SFS
fr
I promise you there's nowhere better
Yeah it’s really tempting
Tysm!
I got into SFS! So excited for that
congrats!
Thank you!!!!!

defer :///
told you my app was v one dimensional
also i made the font size 9 lmao
they prolly didn't even read the essay and deferred me so whichever AO reads my app then will have to deal with the tiny writing
I'd go with TNR size 12
times new Roman
mine was too small cuz i wrote too much and was lazy to cut
so I'd stick to around 400-500 words for the one page essay and 200-300 for the half page essay
it's so frustrating that they don't specify the word count...
"In recent years, approximately ten percent of applicants deferred under the Early Action program have been admitted in April."
just reading my decision letter and saw this hmmm
what did your letter say? is everyone's different
dw u will get in rd
No lol. It’s just a joke
Like I got deferred because they rlly liked my writing skills so they want me to write a loci
I’m coping by eating Jjajamyeon first thing in the morning
And then I’m actually going to start
applying next year, banking on the fact they have stats and essays ranked higher than ecs on the cds lol
Good luck!
thanks, school looks cool asf
I'm gonna look into it more fs
ty! manifesting Emory for you 🫶
James, did you get in EA or RD last year?
They said ea i think
EA
thank you 🫶🫶
anyone doing mcdonut
I am for RD
dont cope with this account, it's old and inaccurate
wait until april like i did
I gonna simp like never before
I’m planning to send it either tomorrow or the day after
I spent the entirety of today setting up a laptop
Hey just wanted to say that if anyone wants my info/stats for reference u can msg me. (Got in ea) I got in due to the help of friends so just wanted to extend the same! ❤️
Sending a LOCI rn sounds kinda crazy ngl
Like, only a day after you were deferred? I think I sent mine in at least Jan / Feb
Let your accomplishments accumulate over the beginning of next semester
Yep same here ❤️❤️
Do any current students know how hard it is to get into the business global affairs joint degree program
also what are the main differences between the joint program and sfs global business
Joint degree u get 2 degrees
One from SFs and one from msb
Getting into joint degree program is kinda hard
Tho it’s harder if ur in SFs
Cuz more SFs ppl do it
There’s a weeder class for it
Also joint degree requires more stuff to graduate
I wanna graduate a little earlier so I’m doing SFs gbus
What is the application process
Is it like a college app
Or just gpa
Econ?
what are your career plans, like do you wanna focus more on business or ir?
Not just gpa I think
U needa do well in the weeder class I’m p sure
And then apply
Not Econ but smt related to the major
I wanna do law
So like a 3.9+
Does georgetown have grade inflation or deflation
Inflation
For sure
There are hard classes
Like the stuff Georgetown is good at
Is usually ahreer
Harder
But grading wise it’s hard to get below 3.5
It’s a private school
P much all of them are inflation
Uh global business
In sfs
NU, uchi
R u gonna try for the double major
If i go im gonna try fs
Ah ok
So I just need a degree and graduate
Ye
I wanna graduate in 3 or 3.5
The dual degree has more
Requirements
Although I’d u choose to transfer
Before school starts
U can transfer to any college basically
Gotcha
how has your experience been at sfs
is it centered only around international relations?
Honestly, I still have no idea of the timing
The only “major” accomplishment I will be doing is submitting scholastic art stuff and spontaneously joining model judiciary
Good
But no
I’m not gonna take international relations until next year
There’s also a lot of government
Econ
And the rest depends on ur major
u got in ea right
Im tryna see when im getting my admitted letter in the mail
are you on the pre-law track?
Yea
Uh mine came like a day later and I’m west coast
I want to do law but there’s no official pre law track but they do have counseling and stuff for it
Ah damn i still havent gotten it yet
Eagerly waiting tho!
damn that looks cool
that’s the only cool building though the rest are really basic
The lecture halls are decently furnished, but they weren’t that big
Which is fine by me tbh
Yeah everything is super compact the dorms too
Sunny now
also I literally haven’t found anyone else at my school who got in they all got deferred idk how feeder we are anymore 💀
damn
any idea abt the acceptance rate for the EA round this year?
what would be a fair estimation to make? also wondering abt how this divides into home and international students
do you have a source for this?
was in the acceptance letter i think one sec
the deferral letter said that 10% of EA deferrals get accepted into the RD pool
oh alright. thanks!
ain't no way i gotta write 4 essays now
You rlly gotta want to come to gtown lol
They make sure of it
oh i don't remember a why us
For mcdonough it was a why us
ah for arts and sciences or whatever it's called (i forgor 💀) it's time you changed your mind
nah, copley, white-gravenor, and hariri are all Ws too
and georgetown neighborhood is one of the nicest places in the US
if i get in it'll be a good contender but i'm a little concerned about finaid
Oh u didnt get in yet?
Have you applied
nope i got rejected from hicago so i'm coming here rd
white-gravenor is nice but the classrooms are kind of bare, i've never been in the rest
until you're waiting 30 minutes in the cold for a bus bc theres no metro station, or you're getting yelled at by some crazy person on M street, or you pay $9 for mid boba 
- get a coat, you're in the northeast ,expect it to be cold (even though it's not cold most of the time) 2. no metro station is an advantage, and you never really need to go into downtown DC for anything 3. all the crazies are at the wawa on wisconsin 4. boba is always mid
- but my hands get cold :( 2. if i go to georgetown id continue working in downtown dc and also id need metro to visit home... taking the bus to dupont or foggy bottom isn't the worst but it's inconvenient 3. and at 33rd and m recently 😭
georgetown is beautiful though and hanging out with friends there is fun
honestly if i end up going to georgetown i think ill take a gap year to travel or something because im just so sick of dc
deferral
anyone in here get in ea from georgia
@nocturne tulip @warped spindle @spice fox sorry for rando pinging but did are any of yall from georgia?
Wheres georgia playoff spot
We are gonna roll the tide
smh
lol thanks for responding i just dont know ANYONE from my state who got in and idk if im gonna go to this stupid winter reception lmao
so true
Yo did u get in
yerrr
Congrats
deferred from uchicago tho
What major
yeah i already wrote my loci
but at this point idgaf cause im probably gonna commit to gtown anywya
Georgetown is better imo for poli sci
For econ u cant get much better than uchi ngl
According to niche georgetown is #2 in business
So ill take it
yeah i wanna get my JD hopefully and then sort of see where life takes me from there, not necessairily practice law yk maybe go work in some political stuff or try and do some social justice/save the world pretty much
If we both end up at gtown dm me we can exchange insta
I need friends if i move far away
😭
i mean we can exchange rn idrc
booooo]
Hook em baby
the instate tuition though
Yep
a blessing fr
dammmnnn
Do you know when we get it
no idea
yk what though
the letter apparently has no swag in it
no merch, stickers, nothing
Have you received the acceptance package in the mail?
nah
Bruh
but someone i knew last year got in
Thats lame
and that's what they said
Im ngl bro
I KNOW i love my uga socks
When i clicked status update
It was so underwhelming
My safety was so much better
Had confetti
UT has small long horns all across the screen
Even now
Georgetown is lowk lame for their acceptance letter 😭
no i panicked
because i had to read
i was like fuck there's nothing awesome on screen im screwed
idk where else to apply cause like
i think im just gonna apply to some super reach ivies or ivy+ or whatver it's called and then be done w it
I was filming my college decision reaction
This was my first one
Shit was awkward as hell
Im so boring bro
😭😭
I was like ‘oh i got in i got into georgetown’
With the most monotone voice
💀
Lmao after I turned the camera off i screamed i got in loud ask
Asl
And ran downstairs
And then started dancing
With my parents

yeah i had to do a lap around my house
I was beating my chest
And shit
Like an ape
Adrenaline went wild
Now im back down
Feeling lowly
same but also im just gonna ride this high until i graduate because georgetown is a t20 college and for my major easily t10 plus i love dc
We were like blasting musical and stuff
have you toured before
For polisci its legit the best
No i havent been
Im planning to visit my top 3
When i get all decisions
Due to my major prestige kind of matters so im hoping for an ivy
Im rlly grateful to have such a great option this early tho
JD probably but idk about practicing law
i wanna double major too but idk how it works there
hey @spice fox what was your sat if you dont mind me asking
mine was 1400 and somehow i got in 💀
dammnn ok
idk how i squeaked by in the ea round i really didn't deserve it based on my SAT score
not yet
Lmao what did u write about for special skills talents
I wrote about how im a yearbook stalker 💀💀
i forogt specifically but i remember the opening line was a quote that was something like
"under pressure, you don't rise to the occasion but you fall to the level of your training" or something sutpid
like public speaking and being adaptable idk
SAME
LMAO
my common app essay was surrounded around the month october which is super packed for me with like personal family events and i used it as like a symbol or motif for reflection and growth throughout my life
something goofy
I think i mainly got in bc of my why us essay
I feel that i cooked on that one the most
wrote about being edgy 😎
Ik its in a while but r u gonna go to admitted students weekend
YES that's why i was looking for ppl in georgia
Im gonna think about it but im not sure
cuz i don't wanna go if it's gonna be super weird and like 10 people sipping coffee and not talking
Its in like march right
uh
March 22-23
Im not going to the winter socials 😭
It is ea lmao
Rd comes out msrch 30
Or april 1
March 22-23 is admittdd students weekend
oh idk
wtf
can i not send pictures
oh
yeah idk i thought there was one in january i didnt know anything abt march
Look at the email
ooohh the open house
maye
maybe
i would have to see closer to the date and also how close i am to committing but most likely
i might drive up tbh see how it is
Ill go if its in my top 3
Problem is ivy day comes out after that
So idk if it’s gonna be
it should be 💯
tbh i've given up deciding my undergrad based on prestige now im just trying to see based on how much i like the campus, programs, school spirit and how many connections i can make
and i feel like gtown will do that for me but idk
usc comes before 
Im ngl Georgetown went up a lot on my list solely because they actually wanted me
Im poor
I cant afford allat
Its my dream
But
me with Uchicago but
Not happening
Im a proud prestige whore

HAHHAHAHAH
i think gtown checks that box for me tbh in terms of prestige
i would say uchi went down but im coping by telling myself i got deferred because they think im too good and prolly ed'd somewhere so if I edii im fs getting in
like yeah it's not yale but i think it's good enough, especially for my major
trustee scholly go brrr
fs getting in is wild 😭
i already wrote my LOCI for uchicago
LEMME COPE
Im not that delulu
damn
Chill
because like i just didnt wanna deal w it
Im def getting deferred EA
Tbf i wrote it before decisions came out so
DAMN
Gtown better than uchi
kvd is usc top
No
DENIED
honestly i was feeling good about uchicago cause im full IB
Im embarrassed to even say it
Yooo same
I did pyp myp and now dp
K-12
man i hated myp
Bro our school has like no choices
to like reassess the status of the school or whatever
same it's like 3 ap classes and then just full ib
Ours is only full ib
Even within ib we are very limited
oh fair
Yea
We had it this year
Lol
same we are required to take HL HOTA and HL english lit
Our grade is under hella pressure rn
Same except 2 years ago they changed hota to required hl global politics
My 3rd hl choice was between spanish bio and film
I chose ESS which is only sl level
So film is my 3rd hl
We are going for the 3peat for 100% passing rate
Class of 2022 and2023 all passed ib exams
hl math aa 
The teachers are drilling us
damn
Im so pissed
Our school doesnt offer hl math
Analysis sl or apps sl
dont do it
I picked AA SL
i had a paper 3 calc question
omg
i almost started crying
it wasnt for a test or anything but stil
lmao literally
anyway that's why i was feeling good about uchicago
i thought they liked it a lot but ig not
Some of them are ed
Ed and ea both came out today
Also its a2c so on average more cracked
ooooo
I have this feeling where there’s probably something inherently wrong with my application
https://georgetown.app.box.com/s/v9kfgo65p6hy1o3pxc3v2ddsvwxcwksv @vocal basin this might help? idk
Sorry, from Mississippi
Oh for the virtual reception for each persons state
I think imma be the only one from my state there too 💀
Mine is this Thursday
Wait lemme see when mine is
Idek if i have a virtual one
Bruh Texas doesnt even have one
😭
In person would be awkward af im not going 💀
Why are the in person ones all during school hours
They think we are on break
Nah more as in my application may not sound appealing enough
Mississippi
Did u get it yet
Can i see a pic?
Is it just the letter or
It’s literally just the letter
😭😭
Nothing special
Didn’t even do a real signature or raise the logo
Dang
They sent a tiny sticker too
Also I got a Christmas card that some random person wrote a message in
Bro i still want it
Ill take anything as motivation
I got so many apps left
I got into ut instate like 2 weeks ago and havent got shit yet
Laptop sticker?
I didn’t get a sticker 😢
Or a Christmas message
Just the acceptance thing
Omg i went outside and there was a rat in my garage this is the first time that’s ever happened
I think this is a sign
The rats from Georgetown sent me a welcoming committee!!!
Lmfao
Maybe the rat has my sticker 😔
I guess
It was at the bottom of the envelope I almost threw it away
It’s probably still in the mail I just live super close
why are they so boring and lame 😭
No fr $75 application fee and they send such a tiny sticker
i already bought a sweatshirt 🫣
The one thing I nvr understood
Is why Georgetown makes no effort to try to get ppl to apply 😭
Like no mail ads no emails hard application no acceptance packages
Although they will have events after u get in
Yeah and they didn’t even come to my school
Idk if they do school visits
I think my ao wrote in my Christmas card though that’s cute
And at least for sfs name recognition is so good ig they don’t need to advertise
find truly interested ppl? idk but i noticed the same thing
yo did anyone applying rd get an alum interview assignment
they do alum interviews as soon as you pay the fee to start your app
why does georgetown require the interview to happen before you submit your app tho
i had mine 2 months ago lol, RD
ohhh
ofc gl!
u2!
ong and then further they have some of the longest and toughest essays to apply out of any college
FRRRRR
and they take the money upfront
before you even get to see the essays
bc they know lots of ppl are gonna quit and not finish the app
Hopefully
Nah Fr
Me too 😂 20 minutes after I opened the decision I bought one on Amazon lmao
Bruh Fr
deferred smh :((
idk they dont want their rate to go below 10
apparently
nope sorry i'm nj
LMAO
Omg i didn’t even notice 💀
Well if they didn’t move the fafsa back
True
What gtown merch should i get

I dont want their lame ass acceptance package smh
univeristy lmao
i just looked at merch it's all so expensive
i think ill ask for a crewneck for christmas
thats cute it has jack the bulldog
real
Send me the one ur getting
I neeed more ideas
Valid
I think I’ll go to the shop in person tmrw, online shopping is stressing me out
Omg so lucky 😭
Lmk if anything looks cool
I need to buy asap
So it comes by Christmas
No georgetown mail today folks 
Hopefully tmrw
this is the one i got
hey do yall know if theres a place go put down a housing deposit or anything
incase you wanna reserve without enrolling/committing
This one’s nice
yeah it's pricey
i coped myself into thinking it was worth it
do you still want the link
just bought it
only bc its free shipping
and comes in 3 days
@dense yew lets go twinnem

my stupidest purchase of the year 🎉
now i kind of have to go dont i
i need to stop buying college merch
its becoming an addiction
What school/program did u guys get in for gu?
Bro it’s $900
the college
that's the enrollment fee
Ah
or deposit rather but same thing
Like the continuing studies?
i applied mcdonough technically but i put my intended major as business + global affairs double
which i cant do as a freshman
but need to apply if i go
Ah
wbu
SFS
YAY
i’m applying for sfs
congratsss
But it’s gonna depend on how much money they give me!!! Tbh
oh i forgot too LOL
U applying rd?
ty though
same but i think ill get good aid
yeah inshallah i’m kinda mid though
Good luck to us
it depends on my ed2
hey a man can hope
I honestly don’t know how much Aid I’ll get
tbh i like georgetown more than i anticipated to
gonna have to speedrun their app in january lol
Have u visited or just from what you’ve heard/seen
never visited, just from doing more research
you should visit
my tour + trip to dc is why i fell in love
if your tour guide is anything like mine you'll enjoy the trip
gtowns campus is already what i like (urban) so i think ill like it. also im not one to let a campus determine whether i apply or not
if it’s a good school like gtown i’ll apply anyways
have u been? i havent got the chance yet
you got any pics?
im trying to like it more
💀
oh yea gtown is goated for polisci
fair but also im cracked
i feel like the only reason i got in early is bc no one applies to georgetown early for business
😭
some ppl say im cracked but ion know
I feel the same
I haven’t visited either
Hopefully I can go during their early action open house weekend in March
i want to but im alr going somewhere for spring break
and its before ivies release
i might just go to admitted students day
you are
real I’m so scared they won’t give me anything 😭
The npc was kind of bad so I’m just hoping that was a glitch hehehehe
Gonna break the Georgetown stereotype of all the students being rich
😭😭😭
Idek if I’m gonna apply anyone else
This was kinda the only college I cared about
Besides safeties I already applied to
Hmmmm
NPC said 33k
Not too bad
Still slightly more than i wouldve liked
NPC?
oh mine was baaaaaad compared to most other T20ish schools
Net price calculator, like financial aid estimate
Ohhhhh
Mine said 9k
But I think that’s probably not gonna end up being at all accurate tbh
Mine was like 10-20k for most ivies and t10s
i have a 1470 sat
should i apply or not?
how are they with aid for intls
heard they're need blind
I mean they still get a shit ton of applicants and are a very prestigious school so do they really have to try
it certainly isn't the worst score, such that you would rule off GT immediately. But considering they hold the SAT to a high regard, you may feel that your score may be a weakness while they make your decision. Keep in mind 1470 is still a great score, just that GT has high expectations
