not easy to come across

[bronze barn]

you think you’ll get it?

[spice fox]

no shot

the ppl who get it are basically coke scholar level lol

so like kirk level

[bronze barn]

sheeeshhhh

what did you need to do to be a coke scholar

[spice fox]

be cracked asf

im still gonna apply

bc my parents would kill me

but yea dont have much/any hopes

also if i get 40 acres that means im like t10 material

[bronze barn]

do you let them see your apps ?

[spice fox]

if im t10 material im gonna go to the t10

[bronze barn]

and your essays?

[spice fox]

lmfao my dad hasnt read any of my essays except georgetown and that was only after i got in bc i offered to read them to him

he said he has 100% faith in me

[bronze barn]

yeah my parents don’t look either

i was just wondering because they seem to influence where you apply

[spice fox]

not rlly lol

the only school my dad requested was cmu

the rest i applied bc i wanted to

[bronze barn]

why cmu in particular?

[spice fox]

he didnt want me to apply to this many schools

but said he would pay any app fees

as long as i submitted my best work

[spice fox]

he is funding my app fees

so i dont have complaints

he wanted MIT also but i said nah for that one lol

bro my dads dream school for me was USAFA 💀

i turned that idea down immediately

[bronze barn]

air force academy?

[spice fox]

yea

he loves it

weird for an indian parent

he said usafa over any other college

wild

[bronze barn]

bro what

to fund your college?

or does he just like the military

[spice fox]

neither

he said the opportunities that come with it

post grad

are unbeatable

[bronze barn]

ik a girl whose parents are making her apply to the naval academy lmao

[bronze barn]

what are the opportunities

i mean you’ll get dickrode every room you walk into but besides that

[spice fox]

the only schools he specifically asked me to apply to are penn cmu and darty

[bronze barn]

penn is a W school

idk enough about the other two

[spice fox]

there are quotas in many companies and scholarships discounts etc

idk

some other stuff

lots of connections

[bronze barn]

do they give you a car

[spice fox]

pretty much any masters school u wanna go to

[bronze barn]

or is that just the army

[spice fox]

lots of benefits

[bronze barn]

really?

[spice fox]

quotas bro

obvi u gotta be competitive

and also u have to serve for like 5 years

lol

usafa req

[bronze barn]

ah hell nah

5 years

[spice fox]

yea i said its too much tim

i want to do business

[bronze barn]

would you have considered if it was shorter

[spice fox]

and possibly startup

so i need that time

crucial development years

[bronze barn]

you got any ideas yet?

[spice fox]

a couple yea

rn im rat racing

good grades, good college, good job etc

but we finna break out trust

[bronze barn]

gl bro

is it tech related

because tbh learning how to code is such a good skill to have

i’d like to learn and try to start up a side hustle or something but it doesn’t interest me that much, ik i wouldn’t enjoy it

weak mindset ik

[spice fox]

do what you love

[bronze barn]

i have 0 interest in coding but doing some sort of side hustle to help my parents seems cool

but i genuinely hate it

[spice fox]

yea i might minor in cs or smth idk

i tried coding

but i hated it

ik its important to learn tho

[bronze barn]

yeah

machine learning n allat

[wicked fog]

LMAO SAME im so gonna do that bookmark thing now

[wicked fog]

my dad was saying westpoint>>

[analog cloud]

almost done with it

[wicked fog]

i feel like penn and cmu have this stigma of being depressing/stressful while darty is the party + the outdoors ✨

[spice fox]

its so scaryyyy

[analog cloud]

penn is literally the party ivy

[spice fox]

it legit brings me anxiety

[analog cloud]

and darty is in the middle of nowhere 💀

[spice fox]

every time i press the arrows part

[analog cloud]

its like a fake LAC

💀

[spice fox]

thats why its a party school bro

they got nothing else to do there

drugs alcohol party

[spice fox]

lmfao

[bronze barn]

i’d imagine pburg and philly are more exciting than NH

[analog cloud]

im ngl if i could apply to west point, it'd be one of my top coices

but i aint gonna get the VP nomination

[spice fox]

penn and cmu are known for being depressing lol

penn has #1 suicide rates in the nation

[bronze barn]

well ofc penn is gonna be depressing, i won’t be there

[wicked fog]

fr it’s the worst it’s like just guessing and checking to see what’s right

[bronze barn]

well cmu puts a lot of pressure on students

[spice fox]

yea im ngl i wasted money applying there

im not going

💀

tepper is lowk mid anyways

[analog cloud]

its mid af

[spice fox]

whats ur major again lin

[wicked fog]

yea but besides that ppl are stressed out competing

[bronze barn]

it seemed less competitive to me than say columbia

but it’s all really individual

[wicked fog]

NATURE HIKIJG FORESTS >>

[bronze barn]

nah

[wicked fog]

right for city lovers

[bronze barn]

i’m a city lover 😍

[wicked fog]

business for the most part

[spice fox]

whats ur secondary? smth political?

[analog cloud]

people are stressed out at every ivy

most things worth doing are stressful

[wicked fog]

im also but id prefer a school like darty even tho I didn’t bother applying lmao

[analog cloud]

true

[wicked fog]

like polsci

[spice fox]

georgetown is the perfect intersection sheesh

[wicked fog]

LOTSRALLYY

[spice fox]

[wicked fog]

like Georgetown is one of my favs

i love DC been there like five times

[spice fox]

[bronze barn]

[spice fox]

[bronze barn]

i’ve been a few times

[spice fox]

nj to dc is so randoml

[bronze barn]

it’s just 3.5 hours w car

also, it’s the farthest south i’ve ever been lol

[spice fox]

wild lol

i been cali, ne, south

no midwest

[bronze barn]

i mean i’ve been to texas when i was real little but i don’t remember it so

[spice fox]

like illinois

michigan

[bronze barn]

i’ve went to chicago once that’s it

[analog cloud]

we have the same 1st and second choice major interests

😭

[spice fox]

me 3

i applied public policy/polisci to non business schools

like the ivies

lol

[bronze barn]

what did you apply for at upenn

ppe?

[spice fox]

i dont remember tbh

i applied 15 days ago

[wicked fog]

bro I love Chicago.

[wicked fog]

how dare you have the same 1st and 2nd choices as me !

but yea that’s cool, I thought out my career and stuff w those two choices lmao

[wicked fog]

that’s what I would’ve done but I did econ for a lot

[frozen pelican]

what's this website?

[spice fox]

naviance

[frozen pelican]

okk thanks~ my school doesn't have that

[analog cloud]

same

make the money then government

[wicked fog]

[wicked fog]

[spice fox]

[wicked fog]

lmao i think I’ve told u like three times

[wicked fog]

hell naw after they deferred me they’re on my blacklist

[spice fox]

im dory

[spice fox]

whats ur new #1

[wicked fog]

don’t have one

[spice fox]

W

[glossy pulsar]

finally finished with these supps

hope my why georgetown isnt just yap

[analog cloud]

not sure

i rlly like emory, georgetown, nyu, vandy

also umich unc etc

[spice fox]

every good business school

why not UT

[analog cloud]

i like UT too

but its not one of my top choices

[bronze barn]

@spice fox wtf do i write for special talents or skills

i got none

[spice fox]

I just yapped about smth

[bronze barn]

i don’t even know what i could say

[wispy cave]

bro i wrote about hoarding

like unironically

in hindsight not the best choice

but a freshman at gtown i know wrote about golf or smthn so if you do sports that could also work

[bronze barn]

would dickriding work

[wispy cave]

lmao

[bronze barn]

@spice fox time to write 250 words about being a kobe glazer

[wispy cave]

maybe if subtle

although

i was checking gtown's stories today

[spice fox]

Wtf

[spice fox]

I asked a question but they ain’t featured me

[wispy cave]

and the admissions office was answering questions

and they said they love seeing dedicated passion in a single subject

so you could be boring and write a subtle why major essay

what major are you applying for at gtown @bronze barn

[bronze barn]

intl political economy

[wispy cave]

why you asking questions bro you got in

what was your question

[wispy cave]

nice nice

[bronze barn]

about talents?

idk if why major fits the prompt

[wispy cave]

no like

i applied for an english major so my talent could've been writing

idk what talents you could relate to intl political economy tho

"im good with money"

[bronze barn]

i’m not good with money

[spice fox]

I forgot

Is there a way to see what i sent

Oh i remember

They said they meet 100% demonstrated need

I asked if loans are factored into that

Lots of schools that are cheap usually factor loans into it

So they can claim 100 percent need met

[wispy cave]

lmao they ain't gonna answer

but i think max loans is $5500?

[spice fox]

What did u acc put

I remember it was like hoarding or sum

[wispy cave]

yep

im ngl banger topic but bad writing

my essays improved so much ea to rd

[spice fox]

Yay

Now time to get a ton of interviews lmfao

[wispy cave]

broski im down bad for interviews I want them sm i would kill for them BUT COLLEGES REFUSE TO SEND ME INTERVIEWS

LIKE YOU'RE TELLING ME THERE'S LIKE NOT A SINGLE IVY ALUMNI IN INDIA

[spice fox]

Im scared of interviews

I was so awkward

I think in gonna get better

[wispy cave]

i mean it's def different from essays so i think they'll have some leeway

[spice fox]

As time goes by

I dont wanna repeat my essays

[wispy cave]

as long as you were genuine you'd be fine

[spice fox]

Im prolly most scared for ut cbhp and northwestern interviews

Cbhp because its somewhat in reach and i could fuck it up

NU i heard were technical

Idk they seem scary

Like rapid fire

[wispy cave]

what's cbhp

[wispy cave]

my god please tell me no

idk if I'll have a nu interview tho

a technical interview will be interesting fs

[spice fox]

You have to have some interview right 😭

[wispy cave]

i mean i didn't have anything for gtown

[spice fox]

Its weird bc the interviewer might or might not know ur profile

Depending on the school

[wispy cave]

someone from my area did tho but they also got deferred so idk what to think

[spice fox]

I think for harvard they do

[wispy cave]

ah yeah makes sense

[spice fox]

Gtown she didnt know anything abt me

I think i got lucky bc she was nice

And chill

[wispy cave]

you get interviews after the initial app right like before essays and activities

[spice fox]

If it was an oldhead

It would be joever

Im bound to get an oldhead at some point

Im glad penns interviews arent evaluative

And Columbia doesnt even do them

[wispy cave]

lmaooo

[spice fox]

I got mine the day before nov 1

I submitted initial app august 9th

💀

[wispy cave]

brown video interview

[spice fox]

Literally my second LOR uploaded

10/30

[wispy cave]

oh💀💀💀💀💀💀

[spice fox]

Next morning

Intervirw request

[wispy cave]

When was the actual interview

[spice fox]

Uh

Idk

Lemme check

November 8th

[wispy cave]

ah

[spice fox]

How many of the 26 schools are reaxhes

You have like 5 UCs right

[wispy cave]

i wanna say 11

[glossy pulsar]

can i submit even tho my counselor and 1 reccomender havent done their part yet

[wispy cave]

yeah i think so

[midnight ether]

wait this is actually good

u can talk ab how yk like all the stats n how irs ur passion

like my friend for one of the uc prompts she talked ab how she liked kpop

[bronze barn]

i’ve spent too much of my life debating about Kobe

[midnight ether]

but goddamn was like

anaylizing the music video and showing her academic prowess ig through liking kpop

[bronze barn]

matter fact i could probably do it ngl i could mention having to use statistics and shit

[midnight ether]

idk the essay turned out rly good

[bronze barn]

i’m just gonna write it the night before the deadline

[midnight ether]

like she talked ab not only memorizing the choreography but analyzing the music videos to see the thematic relations between blackpink n feminist smt idk

[bronze barn]

let’s see what i can cook up

[midnight ether]

i didn’t relate mine to my major at all

[bronze barn]

this is entirely dependent on how well i can bs my through 250 words

[midnight ether]

i talked ab having an adventurous spirit n liking surfing n snowboarding💀

[bronze barn]

that sounds like a good essay

[spice fox]

Yo ciwan i can send mine if u want lol

[midnight ether]

when i was writing it i was struggling to make it seem like a “talent”

yea i can send mine if u want too

[spice fox]

Its kinda similar topic

With the stats thing

[midnight ether]

oh jk mine has nothing to do w i

[bronze barn]

you don’t need to if you don’t want to brother but i appreciate it

[agile swallow]

yeah all mine were why major basically

My special talent one was abt language learning

[vocal basin]

R u RD

[bronze barn]

yeah

[leaden bobcat]

Yo

when y'all did your georgetown essays

did you guys do 1.15 or literally single space

[steel vault]

single space

if i go over 1 page for either of the two essays by like one paragraph im not screwed right

[steel vault]

@spice fox sry for the ping but u the only guy ive seen in this chat that actually got in

ah ok

[empty quest]

If I paid to rush sat scores by today would it get to georgetown on time

[spice fox]

I wouldnt risk it

They asked for one page so just go for 1 page

Also dont decrease the font too much

I think i did 11 pt

[dense yew]

yes and you should do it

otherwise you might not be considered

[dense yew]

yeah i would say wiggle room of 2 sentences over maybe

beyond that your providing more information than other applicants are which is generally unfair

[agile swallow]

1.15 lol

[nocturne tulip]

IT WAS-

sorry for responding three days late to that but wth was he/she on a time cruch 😭

[dense yew]

idk!?!??!

he also asked me no questions just talked about himself

[nocturne tulip]

thats freaking wild

[dense yew]

like i got 2 proper questoins

[nocturne tulip]

i mean from what ive heard from multiple people its kinda meant to be 50/50 esq but they do talk a lot

thats just crazy

like idk if they should even be an interviewer atp...

[dense yew]

yeah but tbh idgaf cause i got in

lowkey was planning on writing an email and complaining but like

it worked out

[nocturne tulip]

no fr

like it would be different if you got deferred

but you can rest easy

i would be like freaking out if that was me

[dense yew]

i was freaking out 😭

[nocturne tulip]

also my interviewer gagged me

[dense yew]

i told my whole fam that i was gonna get deferred cause my interviewer hated me

[nocturne tulip]

NOOO

but tbf i would think the same thing

someone told me theres was 45 mins and i thought that was a little short

[dense yew]

how long was urs?? 😭

[nocturne tulip]

an hour and maybe 5-10

my bf's was an hour 15

so 15 is beyond me

[agile swallow]

how are they that long though like do you just give super in depth answers to the questions???

[nocturne tulip]

oh my god no

i mean i did talk a decent amount at the start about my service project

and by a decent amount no more than 5-8 mins MAX

i think it was more around 4

but queen asked me where i worked and when i told her where she said "how come i've never seen you there"

i was like oh!

[dense yew]

HAHAHAHAHAH

NO WAY

[nocturne tulip]

YES

I WAS LIKE

GIRL WHAT

IVE BEEN WORKING THERE SINCE 2021 WDYM...

or 2022 but still

[dense yew]

diff location maybe 🙏

[nocturne tulip]

NO

SAME LOCATION

girl i said the street and everything

but she said she doesnt go in there durring summer bc its a beach town which is when i mainly works

and she said she goes in sundays early during off season

and i wasnt going to mention that my boss skrews me and gives me 4 hours a week max or ghosts me for months

but it was wild

[dense yew]

LMAO

that's hilarious

[nocturne tulip]

can i mention some of the questions she asked me or is that not allowed

[dense yew]

i think it's fine

[nocturne tulip]

ok

[dense yew]

idk i had a whole doc prepared with questions and answers

and used none of it

[nocturne tulip]

yea she asked some random ones like

who is your rolemodel

i was like oh!

thats a great question

shouldve said azealia banks but i said gandhi bc i froze

but we had a decent amount in common bc her daughter was a coxswain and so am i so idk

she talked a lot about her family because they all went/go to gtown

[empty quest]

Did you apply for sfs

[dense yew]

my dude was a rower too

a coxswain is a rower right

[nocturne tulip]

no

i sit at the back or front of the boat

steer it

and yell

a lot

it seems a lot easier but its so so so stressful

[dense yew]

ooooooo

[nocturne tulip]

im like the mastermind

[dense yew]

the college but it's easy to trasnfer from what i've heard

[nocturne tulip]

i stalk other teams so i know wherw we stand

[empty quest]

Can you tell someone to walk the plank

[nocturne tulip]

i applied to the college too

we got marshed bc of the wind and i made the kid i dont like get out and push the boat

[dense yew]

LMAO

[nocturne tulip]

i literally have a photo of it too WENKJFNKJFDWQ

its so fun

like lowkey it became by favorite sport i do

but my program at my hs is so non competative because we are a public school in a private dominated sport

because there arent any divisions so when we go up to philly we get floored by cba saint josephs prep and like other good expensive schools

[dense yew]

interesting

i'm learning a lot about water sports

[nocturne tulip]

aw good

rowing is so so so fun

its very intense and painful

but its so team oriented

and i would say its the easiest by far to get recruited for

i know a girl her joined her senior year and just on her erg times which is what colleges mainly look at got recruited to la salle

in a month of joining

before ever actually rowing...

[dense yew]

insane

i go to a super small school in georgia so we don't do stuff like that LMAO

it sounds fun though

im trying to imagine where i would even practice if we did rowing LMAO

do you guys row on still water or like

moving water

[steel vault]

alright

for the essay asking for "background, identity, skills, and talents" is it normal to just copy paste your personal statement

cuz thats what im thinking of doing

[spice fox]

The 3rd one right

I did that yea

[steel vault]

ty

[urban briar]

why does my georgetown checklist say this when one of my recommenders haven't submitted their rec letter yet? did my counselor upload teacher rec letters for me?

or does this mean like the request has been successfully submitted to the teachers?

[strange robin]

should i submit my ap exam report to georgetown if i have two 3s? i have four 5s and four 4s but idk if the two 3s screws me up

[wispy cave]

I'd go for it esp if the 3's are in subjects that don't relate to your major as much

[strange robin]

yea nah im applying business and my 3s are only apush and bio but i got 5s in some important ones like BC, macro/micro, and then human geo/lang

they're basically programs i assume most people select none of them

im selecting none

this is closeup
https://closeup.org/

[frosty trellis]

They’re like programs like senate page that a lot of ppl apply from and it’s easier to crageorize

[urban briar]

Has anybody ever like checked these things off? Like how rare is it for one to have a DC experience?

[agile swallow]

my friend did congressional intern and got deferred 😭

[urban briar]

district intern or dc intern?

[agile swallow]

some random congressional district

[urban briar]

so like not in washington dc then, right?

[agile swallow]

what

no like in dc

but not for dc

[urban briar]

oooh ok

thought you had to be an undergraduate to get a dc internship

[agile swallow]

idk i think some local high school students get to

or family connections

[rich dagger]

i know someone who was state governor of yig and got deferred

[spice fox]

bro i just figured out how to do this 😭

its so cool that the first email is 12/09/23 because means it was created before admissions came out

[wicked hazel]

When uploading the Georgetown essays in the word document do you include the question as well?

[dense yew]

mine was 12/12

[dense yew]

personally, i did because i think that's just corteous

not sure if that's the correct thing but it seems to have worked so

@spice fox you can log into canvas lol

[earnest hemlock]

should i submit my ap scores? three 4s (human geo, lang, euro) 2 5s (us &comp gov)

[dense yew]

i didn't but i also got a 1 on ap cs a so

your scores are good i would ask your counselor

what is the appropriate abbreviation for georgetown

it is gtu

or gt

or gtown

or gu

[wispy cave]

gtown I think

cuz gt is ga tech

gtu and gu feel weird idk

[stone breach]

If you've done one of these put it down, if not don't worry.

Most people I know haven't done these

[cold whale]

yo guys any tips for the last essay about an impactful book or some shi

im stuck asl

[dense yew]

im not exactly qualified to give help/advice but i can send you mind if you'd like

ok maybe not the whole thing but ill send you my intro and stuff

[spice fox]

Yes

[true ice]

It’s gu.

[dense yew]

:(

this makes me sad more than anything tbh

[stone breach]

I normally say gtown

but GU is the formal abbreviation

[wispy cave]

LMAO

[spice fox]

I like gtown personally

[frosty trellis]

Gtown is the best

GU I’m like huh where’s that

[soft root]

Has anyone sent in their loci yet?

[frosty trellis]

No not yet

Do you just send it in through the portal? Or do I have to find an email of someone

[urban briar]

Exactly

[pearl flax]

wait if we sent these before the deadline but georgetown receives afterwards is it gonna be an issue ughhh

[lone pelican]

i think as long as you send the scores by jan 10 it should be ok? call/email them if it becomes a problem tho

does anyone know if we should be putting the prompt at the top of the essays in the documents we submit?

[radiant geode]

so confused about where to find if my scores were recieved or not

like im on the score sends portal rn and it says "sent" with a check mark but does that mean sent as in it hasn't been recieved yet?

[glossy pulsar]

portal

mine says received with a check

[radiant geode]

ok damn then nvm

still waiting

[glossy pulsar]

2 of my reccomenders havent gone through, 1 one them did it 28/12 and even showed me today

[radiant geode]

yeah it's so confusing

[dense yew]

lol i sent my scores like 10 days late

ur probably fine just make sure they get it sooner rather than later

[radiant geode]

i rushed shipping on saturday

shit was so expensive but it should get there on time

[urban briar]

Does anybody have any suggestions for georgetown interview’s specifically?

lmfao

Maybe i should mention marjorie taylor greene and how i met her in a dc restaurant

[leaden bobcat]

Lmaoo

[soft root]

Anyone made their loci yet?

[wispy cave]

i made a great

Draft*

[soft root]

When do you plan on sending it?

And to who?

@wispy cave

[wispy cave]

uh idk tbh im yet to research

prolly either upload in portal or mail ao

[analog cloud]

no way

[lone pelican]

how long are yalls' resumes..

[wispy cave]

2 page

[lone pelican]

oh okay good

me too

[urban briar]

Normally 2 pages, but for college apps, I had to go to 3 pages to list out all my activities.

[wicked fog]

same!

[glossy pulsar]

My counselor told me he sent the reccomendation letter to Georgetown but its still not showing in the portal do i contact them directly or just wait? he supposedly sent it 2 weeks ago

[bronze barn]

can i submit tomorrow or does it have to be tn

[glossy pulsar]

pretty sure its 11:59 pm on the 10th but dont take it for granted

[bronze barn]

i never take you for granted

don’t worry

i believe in you

[glossy pulsar]

[indigo pilot]

dont not research the school 💀

[pearl flax]

Bring a resume makes stuff so much faster

[vocal basin]

LOCI is submitted through the portal that’s for sure

As for drafting and sending? I’m doing that in the span of today and possibly tomorrow

I’m not sure if that’s the correct move though

[soft root]

Me neither

[soft root]

So you just upload it?

[vocal basin]

Yeah so

actually lemme just ss it

[soft root]

Kk ty

[vocal basin]

It's "Student Submitted Update for Admissions Committee"

Should be like at the bottom of the portal

[bronze barn]

sending the recommendation requests the night before

https://tenor.com/view/lebron-james-lets-go-lebron-gif-5578583

[leaden bobcat]

How do y'all report ap scores to gt

do you have to send an official report

[bronze barn]

i’m not

actually

idk

[frosty trellis]

Yes send them theougy college board

[fathom remnant]

lowk kinda want to apply here now

just off a whim

nah

[midnight ether]

do it

[fathom remnant]

nahhh one day left and then i have to ask my teachers to send my lors in

and then its gonna look like im only applying cuz people from our school got in

and idk if i can even transfer over my other essays

and im an engineering major (for now idk how i feel about math for another 4 years)

[urban briar]

I remember when I applied to northwestern off a whim, but they were on the commonapp.

Georgetown is like you can’t really apply off a whim, in fact, you’d need at the very least a week to get things done, send things in on time. Maybe more like two weeks.

Not just LORs, but also official testing score reports and AP scores if you’re submitting that, and that takes at least a few days even with expedited shipping.

[earnest hemlock]

if you guys did an interview on zoom what was that like? my interviewer is in china so i can’t do it irl

also i cannot find her linkedin or any information about her online so im going in blind 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💀

[analog path]

hi! for georgetown's elaborate on special talents or skill essay, what are they looking for? a mix of quirky and legit stuff? do they want an essay or bulleted points?

[carmine ice]

Is Georgetown test mandatory???

[agile swallow]

Yes

[urban briar]

and they require official test scores too

[foggy tusk]

is there any point in applying if ill be sending in test scores today

like itll take 2 weeks to reach gt

[urban briar]

Do you have all the letters of recommendation and counselor report submitted?

[foggy tusk]

no lol

but theyll prolly be submitted by the end of the week at most

i had like 16 deadlines last week and exams this week completely forgot about georgetown lol

its over i think

[regal cipher]

i think thats fine

[trail gorge]

hi guys, is it due 11:59pm EST or local time?

[urban briar]

EST i believe

[dense yew]

pay for expedited shipping if you want

itll probably take under a week

won't count against you either

this is what it look slike when you are late

and EA was due november 1st iirc

so you have atleast a 1 week cushion to get the SAT scores in

at least that's how it was for ealry

[rapid timber]

Is Georgetown really competitive for polisci? Not in terms of getting in but once you’re in, does it feel very cutthroat and stressful?

[dense yew]

i have heard that it somewhat is but not really

but there are a handful of current students here who could definitely answer better than i

@ hoyasaxa and @ will are both current students if you would like to ping them

i don't think they mind normally but

also idk their majors

[bronze barn]

can i send my aps today

or will it take too long

[radiant geode]

thoughts on 11pt font for essays

it perfectly fits my essays into one page but idk if that's too small

[urban briar]

I think that should be fine. Personally, i did 11.5.

[upper nexus]

wait when do ap scores need to be submitted by?

[midnight ether]

i wrote a thing ab how i have an adventurous spirit (surf and snowboard) and how it wld translate at gtown

[wicked fog]

is the interview for gtown chill? any weird questions they ask or just the og ones?

[indigo pilot]

my interviewer asked questionst that tehy werent supposed to

so

idk

it is generally chill

[vocal basin]

So incredibly chill

It’s literally just a conversation at starbucks

[leaden bobcat]

what did y'all write your "change your mind" essays about, if applicable?

[indigo pilot]

?

[frozen pelican]

there was this essay?

[bronze barn]

they might be doing george washington and went to the wrong thread lol

i think they have that prompt

[bronze barn]

could i do standard delivery for ap scores

or nah

extra question: can i list spanish as a fluent language if i have a deal of biliteracy and have been taking classes since 5th grade. i also practice it in my free time

[outer prairie]

I talked about how my experience volunteering at a summer camp for children with disabilities shifted how I view advocacy, whereas you can advocate for something in other ways than writing/persuasive speech.

[bronze barn]

W description

Tua is really a fraud

[bronze barn]

i don’t really watch games unless it’s an important one

I can't believe you don't let a sports team decide your mood for the week

[bronze barn]

i’m a nets fan brodie

i’m depressed often

i watch basketball and soccer a lot, i keep up with most of the games. it’s just nfl im not a huge fan of

[outer prairie]

At least you’re not a pistons fan

[bronze barn]

we only have ABA ones from the 70s with a player who doesn’t even see us as his main org

[outer prairie]

Oof

Could not relate 🔥🏀

[bronze barn]

that’s the right mindset

[regal cipher]

🤝best of luck to u if u applied

[bronze barn]

i did, thanks

you too

[vocal basin]

I wrote about “The Metamorphosis” by Franz Kafka and how it changed my perspective on my late father

[bronze barn]

i’m ngl that sounds fire

[vocal basin]

That works

It all about how you write it tho

You can make any subject matter sound epic or boring

[leaden bobcat]

V true

[crisp idol]

is he rd deadline in est

[vocal basin]

Yeah

So it’s like in 20 minutes

[crisp idol]

bruh

[dense yew]

no time like the present 💯

[exotic willow]

how are you guys formatting the essays

im doing font size 11, times new roman, single spaced on docs

[crisp idol]

SUBMITTED WITH TWO MINUTES LEFT

BOTH LONG ESSAYS DONE IN 20 MINUTES

I WISH I HAD KNOWN IT WAS IN EST SOONER

NO REGERTS

i'm sahking so bad though

[vocal basin]

I did size 12, but on libre office because I’m one of those foss nerds

Anyways my LOCI draft is 905 words long 😭

What an amazing time to be editing

[indigo pilot]

I fucked up my interview so much i barely put much effort into the supps

Like obv some not to waste the fee, but enough to where there will be no surprises

[vocal basin]

I mean

You never know

Time to wait 3 months in agonizing pain

[leaden bobcat]

the interview really doesn't matter much

[dense yew]

it does matter though

[dense yew]

what happened?

[regal cipher]

ah shit man

i forgot to italicize the title of the book i used for prompt 4 in the last paragraph but did it everywhere else

that hurts

[dense yew]

i wouldnt tweak abt it

i doubt when they deliberate on your decision they r gonna point out one missed italiticization be like "yep this kid can't come here"

[regal cipher]

haha yeah

i feel like the logical side of me agrees with you rn, but its just slightly annoying to look at lol

also does anyne know the difference in having sibilings vs parents who went in terms of consideration

i got neither just curious lol

[frozen jasper]

submitted 🙏

[vocal basin]

“Sorry, you akshually put a colon instead of a semicolon here. We will proceed to blacklist you.”

[dense yew]

alumni/ae relationship seems to be considered? i doubt it has a huge impact but it's one of those little things ig

[dense yew]

exactly

[cold whale]

yo guys do u know that checkbox on the app that asks if ur studying in a non us institution

i accidentally checked no

but i acc am

is it a big deal will they combust when they get my transcript

[dense yew]

maybe just email admissions and let them know?

i feel like that could matter but idk

[cold whale]

yeah i just filled otu the change form

thanks scoobz

[rich dagger]

Hi

Does Georgetown use common app

I’m finna submit my 26 act to them if they don’t

[bronze barn]

no

[rich dagger]

Alright

Submitting an app cause appearantly I submitted RD in July????

So confused

But let me be a trial for other low act applicants

[rich dagger]

Do they look at ur ec’s?

[bronze barn]

yes there’s an activities section

[rich dagger]

ok..

[rich dagger]

Wdym I see no ec’s?? On the normal app or the supplement?

[bronze barn]

uhhhhh normal app ig?

[rich dagger]

? I checked there and I couldn’t see anything

[bronze barn]

on the left side? idk you might just have to play around and look

[agile swallow]

their ec section is weird you rly have to upload a resume

[rich dagger]

Oh ok 😭

Is this under the supplement or normal app?

[wicked fog]

wasn’t the deadline yesterday?

[agile swallow]

After you pay the fee

[steel vault]

4 on APUSH, 5 on Lang, 5 on BC/AB, 4 on Chem.

Would this be okay to submit applying for a joint public policy major? I'm also not too late right? I was told there's a grace period for these kinds of things.

[rich dagger]

Nope writing deadline extended

I did the app long time ago

[wispy cave]

I'd submit

[potent relic]

Yeah submit

[tropic trellis]

anyone else interview was waived? (due to availability)

[wispy cave]

mine i think bcuz i never got a request

[frozen pelican]

mine also

[rich elm]

you should probably email the AO and check. Did that a few times myself

[analog cloud]

i got an interview hehe

my first interview

easy af

[pliant iris]

yay gl!!!

[frosty trellis]

Who do I address the loci too

[vocal basin]

@frosty trellis

[soft root]

Anyone have a good website for how to write loci?

[true ice]

How did it go??

[bronze barn]

it got moved to tuesday lol

thanks for asking though

[true ice]

Lmao I’ve been thinking about it

[bronze barn]

really?

[true ice]

Good thought lol

[bronze barn]

i think it’s because my interviewer is so young

[true ice]

Is it a grad student?

[bronze barn]

he didn’t reply for a week after we set up friday and then told me he had a meeting that day so asked if we could do it tuesday

[bronze barn]

not as far i can tell, on his linkedin it says he works for a start up

[true ice]

Hmm interesting

I’m sure he’ll be nice.

[bronze barn]

it’s fine, i’m glad i got him because from his emails he seems more lax

which i think will be nice

he said “super sorry man” in his email lmao

[true ice]

Lmao

[bronze barn]

you had your interview already right?

how did that go

[true ice]

Are you near dc? Like Va or Md?

[bronze barn]

nope

NJ

[true ice]

Oh I’m not apply to Georgetown but I take classes there rn

[bronze barn]

that’s so cool

[true ice]

Ok cool

[bronze barn]

what classes?

are you on the campus then?

[true ice]

Last semester I took 20th century poetry, dope ass class. Classes just started again but I’m taking Dostoevsky and Medieval Sicilian Art. Just auditing.

[bronze barn]

are you in the dc area and could take the classes?

[true ice]

It’s fun, Im just lucky to live in DC.

Yeah

[bronze barn]

so you live on campus!
?

[true ice]

Just in the city

[bronze barn]

oh ok

[true ice]

It’s a small city

[bronze barn]

that’s fun

i’ve been to dc a lot before, it’s nice

[true ice]

Will you go to GU if you get in? Like number 1 choice?

[bronze barn]

uh

i did ED2 uchicago

so i have that above georgetown

i’d say georgetown is number 4 probably

[true ice]

That’s valid

[bronze barn]

why did you choose not to apply

[true ice]

Because it’s just too close to home, I need to get away. I’ve spent so much of my life in Georgetown (the neighborhood) and as much as I love it, I need to see more. Also, what I want to study is really specific and not offered.

[bronze barn]

yeah is feel that

[spice fox]

this is real

[agile swallow]

omg I’m taking Russian there this semester we only had one class but it’s super chill

[spice fox]

i applied to my local school

[bronze barn]

it’s a good choice tbh, i respect it. good luck wherever you go

[spice fox]

not gtown

[bronze barn]

@spice fox my man

[spice fox]

but im def not going

[bronze barn]

[spice fox]

wbu

[true ice]
