#

yea well bc they require all applicants to send all test scores, their mid 50 range isn’t as inflated as most schools

#

so yk they’re not only receiving test optional 1500+

#

they do receive “lower” scores

brave mulch
#

I’m pretty sure georgetowns average last year was like 1470

warped spindle

spice fox
#

3 isnt a lot

The other 2 are polisci/gov majors

#

Our class is extremely comp

warped spindle
#

Do u know if they got in

spice fox
#

Half the class is applying to t20

spice fox
agile swallow
warped spindle
#

Wow

#

Couldn’t be my school

#

We are competitive academically but everyone just shoots for a full ride at bama and goes there or Mississippi state tbh

agile swallow
#

ur from mississippi right? that doesnt seem too competitive

#

we usually have a good amount of people go to schools like bama and ole miss but thats bc theyre super rich, didnt care in hs, and want to party in college

warped spindle
warped spindle
#

My friend has a 4.5 gpa and is ranked 47th 😭

agile swallow
#

wtf 😭

#

i feel like rank is so toxic like that

warped spindle
#

Our school is so competitive and toxic abt rank that they disabled our rank on PowerSchool so in order to find out our gpa we have to schedule a meeting with our counselor 😭😭😭

#

So I literally applied to gtown without knowing my gpa

agile swallow
warped spindle
#

Yeah definitely. That’s so stressful

spice fox
#

The only time we see our gpa is the end of each semester

spice fox
#

Wtf

warped spindle
#

Omg Bro 😭😭

nocturne tulip
#

loud quarry
spice fox

Unless u go to usc and wear ucla merch

#

I doubt anyones really cares

dense yew
#

clothes

#

#

#

why not

midnight ether
#

do ygs know if gtown has a good bio program?

#

i’m interested in bio or poli sci (polarizing opposite ik) but i’m not sure ab gtowns bio program lol

#

i got in and originally had a 1460 !!

dense yew
#

congrats @midnight ether you should react here!

dense yew
# midnight ether do ygs know if gtown has a good bio program?

georgetown has a great medschool from what i understand, so i imagine anything premed related is also solid. also, just remember that any t20/t10 school, most of your majors are gonna be about as good as they can get (with some exceptions but for the most part)

#

niche ranks it at 20 on the dot for bio in the country, so i would say it's solid

midnight ether
#

wait & also i love the location and in general jus wanna go to college in the east coast buut have heard a lot ab georgetown being lowk elitist (i know there’s not much socioeconomic diversity) but do ygs know anything on that lvl HAHA

dense yew
#

LMAO uh idk for sure im not a dc resident so i can't really speak to it i would do some of your own research on that but also @agile swallow lives in dc so maybe she would know better

midnight ether
#

haha same what state are u from?

dense yew
#

down south in georgia 🤠

midnight ether
#

damn

#

💀

#

sorry this is gonna sound so out of touch from reality but ppl living in the south seems so foreign to me like

#

i needa get cultured fr HAHA

dense yew
#

LMAO it's really not what you'd expect

midnight ether
#

yeah i def have a stereotype in my head

dense yew
#

most suburban/urban areas are like the whole country it's just way more rural

midnight ether
#

ohh are u in a more rural area

dense yew
#

nonono

#

i live in duluth which is basically a suburb like 40 minutes from downtown atlanta

midnight ether
#

ooh

#

do u have a southern accent

dense yew
#

a little bit, mine isn't too bad

#

i say yall a lot thought

midnight ether
#

that’s so stereotype i’m SO sorry literally the only thing ik ab the south is from like netflix shows

midnight ether
dense yew
#

lolol don't worry outside of the deep south rural farms it's very much what you would expect in any suburb/urban area

#

especially atlanta

midnight ether
#

that’s cool

#

id wanna visit i think

dense yew
#

yeah in terms of "the south" georgia is pretty typical, not like alabama or louisana south but definitely get a good southern feel

midnight ether
#

NO BRO i’m still in shock i got in cuz like my ecs are highk mid and i had to report a suspension like aint no way georgetown actually wanted me💀💀💀

dense yew

dense yew

midnight ether
#

midnight ether
stiff plinth
#

r u planning on commiting

#

or applying to more

spice fox
#

Ive heard so many schools do a ton of on campus events

#

Free water bottles

#

Backpacks

#

Shirts sometimes

spice fox
stiff plinth
#

oh

#

we have those

#

actually they did give me shirts

spice fox
#

If i dont get any ivies ill probably commit

stiff plinth
#

just not like bookstore shirts

#

which ivys did u apply

spice fox
#

So far none but ive done most of the essays just editing and finalizing

#

Rn planning to do 7 but ill do brown if i feel like it later on

spice fox
#

Or was Georgetown ur #1

stiff plinth
#

uh i did

#

well i prob wouldve chosen stanford

#

but that was abt it

spice fox
#

Ah ok

stiff plinth
#

idk from being here

#

theres a lot of ppl who will choose gt over dartmouth

#

and over cornell if theyre sfs

spice fox
#

Do u regret choosing gtown

#

Over ur other options

stiff plinth
#

uh no im enjoying it

#

it was my top choice in a sense

spice fox
#

My top 5 is all delusional so im researching gtown more because theres a decent chance i go

stiff plinth
#

well u never know

spice fox
#

Yea but im rlly glad i got in

stiff plinth
#

what school r u in

spice fox
#

Less pressure

spice fox
stiff plinth
#

like

#

which college

#

did u apply to

spice fox
#

Oh

#

McDonough technically

stiff plinth
#

oh nice

spice fox
#

But i put my intended major as i want to apply for the business global affairs double

#

After freshman year

stiff plinth
#

ohh

#

yea thats cool

#

idk i like how they let u do diff stuff

spice fox
#

I think rn its like management or smth idrk

#

Id prolly do finance

stiff plinth
#

oh it doesnt matter what it is rn

spice fox
#

Yea

#

Freshman year is core rifht

stiff plinth
#

msb has rly good outcomes tho

#

or so i hear

#

uh mainly

#

but u can technically do whatever u want

spice fox
#

Also a major factor of consideration for me is financial aid

#

I havent heard many great things so far

#

But hoping that they come through for me

stiff plinth
#

on the application

#

i clicked i wasnt applying for aid

#

but they still gave me some lol

spice fox
#

Lol

stiff plinth
#

but like idk the aid is

#

eh

#

unless ur rly poor (and lie abt ur taxes)

spice fox
#

Yea i def need the aid but ive heard its pretty bad

stiff plinth
#

smo ik gets paid 2k to go there 😭

#

cuz their EFC is too low

spice fox
#

Thats another reason im shotgunning lmfao

#

T10s give insane aid

spice fox
stiff plinth
#

Yea

#

But they will just give u

#

Whatever ur EFC is

#

With some loans

#

Maybe

#

So they technically meet 100% need

spice fox
#

Fs A lot of loans and parent contributions lmao

stiff plinth
#

But the loans

#

Aren’t too bad

#

Like 13% of my aid was loans

bronze barn
#

i need to get into georgetown to impress a girl

dense yew
#

tbh the way i see it with college, at every t20 pretty much any major you do with some exceptions will all be the same quality of education and it really comes down to preference

#

especially with undergrad

bronze barn
dense yew
#

culture is part of preference

bronze barn
midnight ether
#

have u seen the georgetown hot mess on ig tho💀

dense yew
#

im sure every uni has its fair share

#

though the water fountain one is bad

warped spindle
#

Just had my virtual GAAP reception

#

Was the only person there besides the actual GAAP person 💀💀

dense yew
#

LMAO MINE IS IN PERSON

#

IDK IF I WANNA GO

#

FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON

warped spindle
#

Damn yeah

#

I mean it was pretty chill and informative

dense yew
warped spindle
#

💀💀

#

Yeah I thought it was gonna be awkward but it was pretty cool

#

She said Darnall hall had the worst dorms

#

Rats in the rooms

#

And her bathroom flooded when she moved in

dense yew
#

yeeesh

stiff plinth
#

I live in darnall

#

It’s

#

Fine

#

Most ppl say it’s not as bad as they think

#

Ppl actually get along in darnall

#

The other dorms they fight a lot Ngl

dense yew
#

be honest is georgetown a t20

#

i think so

stiff plinth
#

We’re actually ranked above 20

#

In everything except us Jews

#

News

dense yew
#

yeah and us news ranks northwestern and jhu above columbia which cannot be right

#

columbia, cornell and uchicago all have better programs than northwestern imho

stiff plinth
#

Also Georgetown did benefit from the methodology change

dense yew
#

how's the social life @stiff plinth

#

it looked pretty good when i toured, people were talking, walkign together, hanging out and the dining halls seemed pretty lively

#

ALSO is the library really as ugly as i remember

#

because it looked like a minecraft building i made in third grade LMAO

midnight ether
#

the libs open 24/7 right

stiff plinth
#

parties are basically open to everyone

#

personally ive had a godo time

stiff plinth
#

but there are better places to study

nocturne tulip
#

also did anyone else get like a congratulations text from your interviewer i thought it was so sweet

dense yew
#

there was one area i remember

#

it was like a study center we walked through with a bunch of small rooms and common areas with several types of seating to study at

#

it seemed super cool/chill

midnight ether
#

are there any food coffee places on campus i’m a bit of a caffeine addict

spice fox
#

do they tell the interviewers if u got in?

nocturne tulip
#

i would consider myself like 95% committed

#

there are still some schools im waiting to hear back from but gtown is my #1

Me getting into Georgetown after three months ago when I used that site that’s supposed to predict ur odds and it said I had a 14% chance 🤪

elder loom
#

the georgetown app asks this:

Please list any languages other than English which you speak fluently.
if i'm conversationally fluent in arabic (half arab) and functionally fluent in chinese (in AP chinese) what should i list?

bronze barn
#

@elder loom

dense yew
#

did you do chinese before hs

#

thats what my counselor told me

#

since ive been taking spanish since 5th grade at school i put spanish and hindi

bronze barn
#

but personally i wouldn’t say i’m anywhere near fluent

elder loom
#

ty for your responses! honestly i'm just scared to put arabic, is there any chance of discrimination based on that or is it cool for georgetown?

#

im not applying for SFS or anything, physics applicant

bronze barn
elder loom
#

i mean it's impossible to prove based on "holistic admissions" but idk

#

im not saying this tryna be the victim or anything

bronze barn
elder loom
#

genuinely curious abt it, for commonapp i omitted all stuff abt my race even though i started the arabic club @ my school

bronze barn
#

so you’re right to be worried

elder loom
#

i just dont think it will really help much to add "arabic"

#

idk

#

and they can see ap chinese on my transcript anyways

#

ty for your time!

dense yew
#

im muslim and pakistani wrote it proudly

elder loom
#

ooo

dense yew
#

my dads name is literally malik 😭

bronze barn
bronze barn
elder loom
#

alhamdulillah ❤️

bronze barn
#

@elder loom what did you do at arabic club

elder loom
#

not that that matters at all, that's amazing

#

but also generally zionist

#

0 full arabs, 5 half arab kids like me

bronze barn
#

my school is also generally zionist 😔

elder loom
#

anywaysssss

#

i basically wanted to promote understanding of our culture and language

#

we meet every 2 weeks

bronze barn
#

that’s nice

elder loom
#

20 or so members

#

it's hype

bronze barn
#

i would join if i was at your school

elder loom
#

aw ty ❤️

bronze barn
#

unfortunately my school has few arabs and few muslims

elder loom
#

i'm legit the only person raised muslim @ my school

#

625 kids so idk

bronze barn
#

my school has a few but not many 😔

elder loom
#

anyways i dont relaly mind, i've found a space yk -- just dont know if i should be putting any of this on apps 😭 def not on commonapp

warped spindle
#

Yeah I think having a foreign aspect/ language definitely helps. I mentioned being a part of the only German society in Mississippi

bronze barn
#

is there a space in the georgetown app to put when you learned the languages? like common app? because i listed english as my non native language

warped spindle
#

Uhh I want to say no

#

I feel like I remember it being just like: are u fluent in another language? And that was it

bronze barn
#

georgetown has non english dorms right

warped spindle
#

Honestly, no idea

spice fox
#

They def know im indian

#

And it didnt hurt my odds so

bronze barn
#

where in india is that spoken

spice fox
#

South india

#

Andhra Pradesh

#

And Telangana

#

2 states

bronze barn
#

have you ever been?

elder loom
#

did anyone withhold ap scores when sending to georgetown? i'm so confused, do i also have to request the score send digitally

spice fox
#

i self reported on common app tho

spice fox
#

so if i went to a school with APs as the main thing then i wouldve prob sent them

dense yew
#

did not send that LMAO

elder loom
#

like for ap score withholding

dense yew
#

oh no

#

i just didnt send any

elder loom
#

oh gotchu

dense yew
#

cause i do ib aswell

#

so i only withheld cs a, human (got a 4 so eh) and gopo (got a 3)

spice fox
dense yew
#

dawggg weve had this convo

spice fox
#

we did

#

call me dory

#

i dont remmeber shit

dense yew
#

HL AA
HL HOTA
HL Lit
SL Spanish
SL Physics
SL world religions (1 yr course)

warped spindle
#

I listed the APs I’ve taken and dual credits (like 12 total) but I didn’t send em my scores for aps

midnight ether
#

i did the paper form and faxed it & they withheld it after like two weeks

#

u can check on college board when it goes thru when ur sending scores

#

i think i sent like 5??? aps and no ibs cuz i haven’t taken any of the tests yet

elder loom
#

tbf my school made me take it without learning it

#

wait so you dont need to do anything after the form, or you do need to send digitally?

#

i'm going to send a fax tmr so hopefully by the 1/10 deadline

spice fox
#

witholding is expensive asl

#

😭

elder loom
#

fr

#

gz!!

midnight ether
#

i took the class as my first year of phys & when i took that ap test i started writing song lyrics cuz ain’t no way i knew wtf was going on

midnight ether
elder loom
#

ty

midnight ether
#

yeah on college board

elder loom
midnight ether
#

to actually send the scores to georgetown

elder loom
#

gotchu tysm

midnight ether
#

i’m pretty sure the instructions are on the application

elder loom
#

unf not really

#

it has a checkbox for payment for the actual score send

midnight ether
#

oh💀💀💀💀

elder loom
#

but not really the process 😭

#

yeah

midnight ether
#

to send the scores just go to college board & hit score send and put in georgetowns school code

spice fox
#

ppl were over exaggerating bro

#

georgetown is pretty diverse...

midnight ether
#

yeah

#

i mean it’s not GREAT but it’s something!

#

^^but i’m p sure all top unis are like that

agile swallow
#

i mean i think when people complain about diversity it's more of a vibe thing than a demographics thing

elder loom
#

what does minority enrollment mean

#

i cant find a combo of those percentages that makes sense adding to 32%

#

looks to me like 47% minority makes more sense?

agile swallow
#

either they dont consider internationals or they dont consider asians

elder loom
#

oh

#

yeah likely international mb

#

that would still be 35% i think but whatever

#

the figure is so confusing tbf

agile swallow
#

weird to separate internationals like that?

elder loom
#

the yellow umbrella doesnt cover "2 or more races" or "black"

#

yeah it's odd idk

#

probs a 3rd party

agile swallow
#

Why am I getting emails for Georgetown seniors???

stiff plinth
#

Prob a mistake lol

agile swallow
#

Yeah 💀

#

I should pull up regardless

spice fox
#

i looked up my high school lmao

dense yew
#

Hey yall does anyone know if theres any benefit of enrolling early if you got in EA

spice fox
#

no

dense yew
#

Like will I have my choice of class/dorm before RA students

#

Oh wtf

#

So whats the fucking point of going EA besides an extra chance at getting in

spice fox
#

for me the benefit is having a good option early

#

but tbh georgetown is one of the most useless EAs

#

legit 0 benefits

#

and its restrictive too

#

💀

dense yew
#

Me too ig but I figured there would be some benefit

#

Its only restrictive on EDs though

#

Not that bad

#

For me at least I wasnt gonna ED anywhere anyway

spice fox
#

for schools like Stanford, they give you your actual decision early

#

but georgetown legit defers everyone they dont admit

#

which is hella annoying

dense yew
#

Ohh shit yeah jg

#

I didnt even think of that

spice fox
#

yea im gonna be a victim of it with usc/umich

#

usc deferred 94% EA last year

#

its gonna be even worse this year

#

#

agile swallow
#

agile swallow
#

spice fox
#

#

and ur mistakes become evident

spice fox
#

im a US kiddo

agile swallow
agile swallow
spice fox
#

yea

#

the cost is a slight upside tho

#

intl unis arent as expensive as usc

agile swallow
#

yeah exactly

#

usc cost is insane but it’s basically on par with all us universities rip

spice fox
#

if im being honest im not going to usc even if i get in (expensive asl)

#

but would be nice for my junior year self

#

bc it was one of mydreams last year

#

like i followed all usc content creators

#

i loved it sm

agile swallow
#

aww :(

spice fox
#

i came back to reality unfortunately

#

now im watching georgetown vlogs and stuff tho

#

im ngl it looks so dry

agile swallow
#

honestly usc seems like the only t20ish school that’s actually fun, it’s just so inaccessible

spice fox
#

😭

spice fox
#

vibes are immaculate

#

georgetown looks rainy and boring

#

i cant get myself hyped

#

im trying tho

agile swallow
#

once my friend who’s a freshman went to a Georgetown party after we hung out and she texted me at 10pm and I was like how’s the party going and she was like it’s over already 💀💀💀

spice fox
#

oh hell nah

#

i assume your school feeds gtown

#

since u live nearby

#

have you heard about how religious it is

agile swallow
#

yeahhhhh wait did you not see the scattergram

spice fox
#

ik its a catholic school but do they try and convert you

#

im not tryna convert

agile swallow
#

no it’s super liberal

#

i know lots of atheists who go there and a few muslims

spice fox
#

ah ok im afraid of being too much of a minority there

spice fox
#

since its in dc

#

and its 2023

#

ive heard georgetown and notre dame are super religious thats why i was wondering

agile swallow
#

like from my school all the people with good stats who are liberal go to Georgetown and all the catholic conservatives go to notre dame

spice fox
#

#

agile swallow
#

damn the difference 💀

#

spice fox
#

waitlist/unknown EA

#

most likely a deferral

#

that they never updated

#

the blue guy is me

agile swallow
#

wait ur schools gpa is so weird wtf

spice fox
#

they changed the scale

#

it used to be hella inflated

#

my gpa is not that low lmfao

agile swallow

yea its still quite inflated

midnight ether

Can u transfer easily from SFS to the college?

dense yew
#

my understanding is yes in the first year especially

#

but idk @stiff plinth is a current student who may know better

midnight ether
#

are you guys applying to other schools??

spice fox
#

Yes

stiff plinth
#

U can also transfer to any college guaranteed basically

#

If u request to do it early

#

Like on ur acceptance letter it’ll say u can go smw to request a change

#

If u do it before school year starts

#

Also SFS to college isn’t too hard in general

frozen jasper
spice fox
stiff plinth

agile swallow
bronze barn
wispy cave
wispy cave

#

but on the other hand i dont wanna have to withdraw all of my other apps

agile swallow
agile swallow
wispy cave

wispy cave
wispy cave

#

usc has my major

bronze barn
wispy cave
#

and its in california which is a big W for my parents

#

but

spice fox
#

Usc would be higher for me if it didnt cost one million dollars

wispy cave
#

their fin aid is kinda v bad

spice fox
bronze barn
#

i really like gtown too but i know realistically uchi is my only decent chance at a top school

wispy cave
#

and i dont think ill get a scholarship

#

and im not a huge fan of the community idk feels very elitist

agile swallow
#

usc and uchicago are like polar opposites i find it so funny how so many ppl here are applying to both 😭

spice fox
bronze barn
wispy cave
bronze barn
#

or public policy

spice fox
wispy cave
#

my number two might actually be brown/penn

agile swallow
bronze barn
#

that’s why i’m an ed2 baby 😮‍💨

wispy cave
#

i did not spend 3 months on those piqs and activity descriptions just to withdraw

#

i mean i might not even get in uchicago ed2 but

bronze barn
#

oh this is the gtown thread lmao

wispy cave
#

bronze barn

but just generally

spice fox
#

Oh ok

bronze barn
#

i mostly did government/public policy/history

#

any mix of those

wispy cave
#

you give me finance bro vibes

bronze barn

but those are all basically just pili sci

agile swallow
spice fox

bronze barn
wispy cave

wispy cave
bronze barn
wispy cave

spice fox

Uchi ed2 inc

wispy cave
bronze barn
#

if you got waitlisted would you just commit to another school @spice fox

spice fox
wispy cave
#

thats so surprising

spice fox
bronze barn
#

business is not seen as a good major

wispy cave
#

i thought stuff liek cs business psychology were guaranteed

wispy cave
bronze barn
spice fox
#

For uchi?

wispy cave
#

bro i wrote my loci for uchi and the first draft is 500 words

#

and i haven't even added shit about their school yet

spice fox
#

Smith did u apply to stanford

wispy cave
#

i love uchi sm ugh it hurts

#

not yet

bronze barn
# wispy cave why

imo it’s because it’s not specialized enough. there are classes like finance and accounting which seem more useful than a general business curriculum

wispy cave
#

but i just finished my last essay today

#

so within the next few days

spice fox
bronze barn
#

also, business majors are stereotyped as stupid but obviously that isn’t true

spice fox
#

Im going into finance most likely yea

wispy cave
wispy cave
