They asked me to write a loci. I actually didn’t see there email because something is wrong with my gmail and they followed up lol.

🧑‍🍳

bronze barn

true ice
#

I sent it a few days ago and it felt awful

bronze barn
#

why

true ice
#

Idk I just hate writing these things

bronze barn
#

i’m sure you did fine dw

true ice
#

And there are significantly less resources on LOCIs so I wasn’t totally sure what I was doing

#

Thx

glossy pulsar
#

Just had my interview, 55 minutes

#

Went great

#

Now we pray

#

My strategy on the LOCI was to be more brief than elaborate. Inflating my LOCI with stuff that I had already mentioned in my application sort of defeats the purpose of the LOCI.

spice fox
#

fax

vocal basin
#

But honestly

#

I think the thing that’s gonna suck is waiting til april

#

Only to get inevitably blue balled by the tuition at best and by a rejection at worst

spice fox
#

or is it by april 1

#

some schools change the date

wispy cave
#

by April 1

#

Released earlier last year

frozen pelican
#

when did they release last year?

rich elm
#

Does Gtown do rolling admissions?

spice fox
#

March 30

wispy cave
spice fox
#

#

wispy cave
#

🙄

rich dagger
#

what did y’all put for the special talents essay?

#

I got an extension for the writing supp until the 15th

#

idk what my special talents are

#

And I applied public policy at first

#

Should I switch to healthcare management in the school of health?

#

Idk if I can get in with an easier major?

spice fox
#

Yea but internal transfer isnt that easy

spice fox
rich dagger
spice fox
#

Yes

#

Just had my interview… I flopped

#

It was only 35 minutes long 😭 and the last 20 was just me stretching it out by asking questions

agile swallow
fathom nebula
agile swallow
#

yeah like if you think about it, your interviewer is an adult with a job and probably family obligations theyre not going to take hours out of their day to talk to a teenager

steel vault
#

who are they admitting tomorrow?

#

ohhhh lma

#

@true ice i just had my interview

true ice
#

How was it?

bronze barn
#

guy was 24 and kinda wacky

#

talked about himself a lot

true ice
#

Lmao

bronze barn
#

global business

pulsar cloak
#

What kinds of questions did y’all ask during your interview

bronze barn
#

my guy asked me what other schools i was applying to but i thought they typically don’t ask that

frozen jasper
frozen pelican
#

could u share what they hated lol

frozen jasper
#

the sports ppl were apparently a clique 😭

pulsar cloak
#

tysm both of you

spice fox
#

It says on the handbook manual

#

For interviewers

rich dagger
#

I decided not to apply at all here..didn’t compete writing supp and they gave me an interview assignment

#

I feel pressured to finish the app quickly

#

But I’m scared of getting rejected cause my act is 26 despite having really good achievements in my chosen major

#

And good grades,course rigor

#

What do I do?? Idk if I wanna open a rejection but I feel like crap rn and don’t know what to do

#

For context app is to the college of health for health policy

#

Idk if college of health is less competitive

brave mulch
#

Didn’t you have to already pay for it? Or did you get a fee waiver

bronze barn
bronze barn
#

i would’ve mentioned iverson or some shit

rich dagger
frozen pelican
#

how do u get fee waivers

rich dagger
#

Sorry

#

Idk how I submitted without paying anything

#

I need help y’all 😭

frozen jasper
frozen jasper
rich dagger
#

Buttt I’m so scared

#

I don’t know why I applied to schools with lower acceptance rates than Gtown andddd

#

I didn’t feel scared because I was so disallusioned from applying

#

But I’m so scared to submit

#

and get that rejection

#

and my act 😔

frozen jasper
#

I mean rejection will give u closure

#

If u don’t apply you’ll never know

spice fox
#

I got asked like 2-3 questions then asked her 2-3 questions

#

Then we talked about random shit

#

Like basketball

#

And the texas rangers

#

And the importance of enjoying 2nd sem of senior year

frozen jasper
#

Thats exactly how mine went 😭 we talked about Korean culture ? But im Chinese so ..

wraith horizon
mystic thorn
#

How do you answer that

#

Just list em?

#

Or list them then extoll Georgetown's qualities

wraith horizon
#

no i didnt want to say so i just said oh i'm rly aiming high and i like staying on the east coast

#

and then we moved on

#

he was very chill though and super nice

bronze barn
#

and he was like “interesting…”

wraith horizon
#

idk man my high school culture is just very hush hush about where ppl are applying so i was used to just dodging the question

agile swallow
#

honestly i think thats just something the interviewer wants to know, they probably won't mention it in the report

wraith horizon
#

^^^ yeah he didnt write that part down and i had already talked abt why gtown so i just left it at im aiming high

mystic thorn
#

Alright cool thanks

misty ether
#

this is the only question i stuttered on

#

i didn't know how to not shit georgetown

bronze barn
#

these new interviewers getting a little too comfortable icl

misty ether
#

and answer the question

#

lmaooo

bronze barn
spice fox
#

Mfs arent reading the manual lmfao

spice fox
misty ether
#

😭😭

#

Yeaaa I struggled with that question

#

I was like it’s not Stanford is better than duke

#

But I preferred west coast weather more

#

And then he talked about how he was accepted into Stanford and Georgetown at the same time

#

And he listed out the reasons he chose Georgetown

#

He’s a good interviewer

#

I wanted to go to gu more after the interview

spice fox
#

Also as a gu admit id pick Stanford over gu in 0.0000005 seconds

#

I didnt rea stanford or ed penn bc i knew it would be a likely reject/defer

misty ether
#

He applied to Stanford stem

#

Though

#

But he just liked foreign relations more

misty ether
spice fox
#

Sfs makes sense

misty ether
#

Defer form Stanford

spice fox
#

A defer is great lol

#

They defer very few

#

Youre still def in consideration

#

Whats your major

misty ether
#

Honestly yea I m most sad cuz it’s so competitive

#

Not*

misty ether
#

What abt you

spice fox
#

Im ngl id go gtown ir/polisci over stanford

spice fox
#

Stanford is the dream (behind wharton ofc)

misty ether
misty ether
spice fox
#

Honestly im glad i didnt rea stanford

#

Bc my ea essays were shit

misty ether
spice fox
#

Ik rd is just as difficult but i feel i have a better chance now

#

Bc better essays

misty ether
#

Yes definitely

spice fox
#

I applied gov/polisci at ivies

misty ether
#

Plus it’s reassuring to know that you are going to a great school if nothing works out rd

misty ether
spice fox
#

Yea that was kind of my thinking

misty ether
#

For schools that don’t have international relations

spice fox
#

Its not my favorite but its a good school so i kind of applied strategically bc they dont consider legacy or athlete ea, and most ea kids are sfs or cas so msb is slightly less comp and my ECs are public policy/business

wispy cave
spice fox
#

Yep

#

Bro do u live in a library

#

Why all ur pfps in the library

wispy cave
#

bro i wish

#

the previous one was from Pinterest😭

#

this is something i took when i went to a bookstore

misty ether
#

They give off very classical academia vibes

wispy cave
#

if you mean me im honoured

#

academia is my dream but i don't think it pays well unless you're like actually doing groundbreaking research

misty ether

glossy pulsar
#

in person at a cafe

dense yew
wicked fog
#

how long were they?

#

im just a little dumbfounded how u can have a 15-30 min chat in person and just part ways

#

I was expecting like at least 30-1 hour if it was in person

brave mulch
#

I think mine was an hour?

#

But it was in September so it could have been a bit shorter if I’m just forgetting

wicked fog
#

ahh i see

#

im having mine this Saturday

#

but my interviewer still hasn’t replied w the exact time or location and she said she was really busy

glossy pulsar
dense yew
#

my interview was lowkey an ass

radiant geode
#

my interview was like 2 hours at a cava lol

#

we originally went to a coffee shop but it closed the moment he got there and we didnt know that so he ended up just driving me and we talked in his car and stuff on the way to cava

#

was lowk fun

wraith horizon
#

that sounds so nice lol

radiant geode
#

yeah it was my first ever college interview and it felt like a nice starting point

misty ether
#

gu interview is the best interview experience i ever had

wraith horizon
#

mine was around 45 min and it was in the lobby of his office building, he was super chill and nice tho

wraith horizon
misty ether

agile swallow

spice fox
#

My interview was in person

#

They called all admits today

#

I didnt lift the call

#

So they left me a voicemail

#

Congraulating

dense yew
spice fox
#

Ah ok

dense yew
#

nice that's it semi-personalized

#

like im sure a handful of people got the IRC one but at least they wrote out a separate thing for those peoples interests

misty ether
#

i want this email 😭

earnest hemlock
#

did anyone else do their interview on zoom

#

im doing mine tmr and im lowkey nervous

dense yew
dense yew
#

sooo do with that what you will

dense yew
# misty ether wait for sfs?

i think that my "spike" in my applications was my involvement in mun/youth government so i guess the personalized aspect of my letter was the IRC?

earnest hemlock
#

i wish i could do it irl but my interviewer lives in a different country 💀

dense yew
#

LMAO unfortunate 🙏

#

just make the best of it, i doubt it will hurt your chances of getting in

#

like my interview was in person and shitty as fuck and i still got in

#

don't stress be you ur great 💯

earnest hemlock
#

LOL thank you 😭😭😭😭 lowkey nervy just bc it’s my first ever admissions interview

dense yew
#

have you thoroughly stalked your interview

#

i stalked mine on linkedin, it helped a little but not rlly

vocal basin
analog cloud
frozen pelican
#

are all admission letters semi-personalized?

earnest hemlock
#

no linkedin or anything 😭😭😭😭

spice fox
spice fox
#

They sent a very slightly personalized email now

indigo pilot
dense yew
#

Yeah thats how these things go 🤷‍♂️ hit or miss

dense yew
#

just out of curious for any admits, what did the personalized aspect of y'alls letter say?

#

curious what the different "options" were

the study abroad in florence at the villa looks so cool

stone breach
spice fox
#

Cool

dense yew
#

recruit me

#

im basically d1 mun

#

wait @stone breach is IRC and like the mock trial/moot court club separate?

#

there should be an admitted students discord 😒

spice fox
dense yew
#

true

#

do no gtown students have an online presence

#

ive seen like 5 people combined across every social platform that go to gtown

spice fox
#

Nah its just that most gtown ea kids are aiming for ivies rd

#

Its not the same as stanford or yale or harvard rea

#

Where the kids are basically committed

agile swallow
#

yeah exactly

dense yew
#

true but i think a lot of people like gtown and have enrolled/committed

agile swallow
#

ive seen some ppl on Instagram with Georgetown 28 in ig bio though

dense yew
#

because it is a top school for a handful of majors in the country and a really good overall school

#

t20 and depending on major/list maybe even t10

spice fox
#

Judging off their bio/posts

agile swallow
#

yeah true

stone breach
dense yew
#

do you do mock trial or anything

#

i never did it in hs but i wanna do it so bad

fathom remnant
#

i joined on accident'

#

im an eng major too

#

the mock trial club at our school is like avery close knit community too

dense yew
#

be a patent lawyer

fathom remnant
#

i didn’t apply here tho lol

dense yew
#

oh

#

lol

#

well i live in georgia so i know a bunch of gatech students

#

and a handful of them are doing an engineering bachelor and then trying to go to law school after and doing some interdisciplinary patent law/business type ordeal

#

if you wanna switch look jnto that, definitely seems like a strong field to enter into

fathom remnant
#

i’ve considered law for a while

#

i’m prob gonna go the business route at the end of the day

#

mba or somethn

dense yew
#

me too but yk a lot of big business and finance folks get their jds

fathom remnant
#

yeah

#

law seems cool too ( i watched suits)

dense yew
#

literally

#

i lowkey wanna be a judge

#

seems so cool

#

but like big time criminal lawyer or something

#

not some like small district traffic asshole

#

i just feel like a jd as a degree has so much versatility

fathom remnant
#

fax

dense yew
#

law, politics, business, academia, econ kinda

#

and then you can trickle into stem too but not rlly

earnest hemlock
#

wispy cave
#

#

i love mun sm

dense yew
earnest hemlock
#

i cant tho bc she’s not from my country

#

like i’m in hong kong and she’s in china so calling her would cost money i think

#

i emailed her likd 3 times and waited an hour but she didn’t reply to any of my emails and didn’t join the call so i left

#

gtown doesn't have my major unfortunately so

dense yew

Hey guys, just got a mail from G'town saying that there is now an option available for me to upload my mid-year report the same way that previous reco letters and school reports were done

#

find this to be a bit weird as earlier today my counselor had sent the mid-year report to a specific application materials mail

analog cloud
#

nah i think they sent it to everyone

#

im pretty sure

rich elm
#

should be yea

#

just found it to be weird timing

urban briar
#

For Georgetown's financial aid, do they look at every applicant's IDOC or do they select certain applicants when looking at financial documents?

#

because i submitted my CSS profile a while ago to Georgetown and i don't see them on the IDOC

frozen pelican
#

is the mid year report 'Secondary School Report'?

#

I'm not sure if my counselor has submitted my mid-year, but my portal says everything is turned in

rich elm
#

you need to submit the mid-year report as a separate document

#

go to recommendations, select 'Mid-Year Report' and the same procedure as the other reco letters

#

should be good to go once they send it

frozen pelican
#

so if my counselor has sent it, it would appear on my Application Checklist?

#

currently mine looks like this

rich elm
# frozen pelican

you should go to 'manage recommendations' and go through your recomendations specifically to check if it's been sent

To current students- does Georgetown feel really cutthroat or competitive once you’re in? It’s supposed to be amazing for polisci and I love the city, but I heard it can get very intense

Omg my Georgetown interview was better than my Harvard one 😭 she strongly recommended that I pursue a PhD, and said that "she wished she could write my graduate school recommendations" 😭 I'm so happy

This might take the cake for my best interview to date 💀

CAS

#

Personally don’t understand the sfs hype, cas allows for much more flexibility if you don’t know exactly what you want to study and you can virtually choose all the same classes as an sfs guy if you want

#

Made more sense for someone like me who’s not entirely sure where I’ll end up 👍

ik georgetown says that their EA acceptance rate is the same for RD, but is this true in actuality?

Prob

#

Georgetown doesn’t fill that much of the class with EA

interview tomorrow noooo noooo noooo

#

they mostly defer ea anyway

spice fox
#

They accepted 13% rd

#

9% ea

#

Georgetown is one of the few schools where applying ea is actually a disadvantage lol

so it doesnt really matter

have y’all seen that Reddit post of what an elite private high school thinks of the ivies and other colleges

#

like it literally says “Georgetown: for some students, our college counselors will consider this a target-safety for them”

I doubt it’s actually a safety anywhere

You do realize you can email your interviewer between now and then right

#

Of course, can’t say it’ll be on the report, but I mean I was told that it would sometimes be considered if it’s early enough

But if you’re satisfied with it, that’s great!

#

yea im confused

IMG_7420.jpeg
wispy cave
# regal cipher yea im confused

yeah i'd say email your interviewer and apologize, saying that you got no email and you chanced across the invite while logging into the portal or something, since you assumed you'd receive an interview

analog cloud
#

nah im kidding bro

#

its probably not too bad

#

u have like 2 weeks anyway

wdym 2 weeks

regal cipher

this is what was written in my email: "It is your responsibility to reach out to your interviewer to set up an interview as soon as possible. Please contact your interviewer within one week of receiving this notification."

ur just a little bit over tho

@potent relic do yk if they have a deadline for interviews

#

sry for ping

#

potent relic

ah alr

potent relic
#

did you wait too long to ask though?

regal cipher
#

potent relic
#

if given the chance just send those emails usually within 3-4 days or so

Yo how do we submit the mid year report

#

It says go to manage recommendations, but I don’t see anything after I get there…

  1. almost no one applies to both gtown and MIT, they are polar opposite schools

Congrats btw

spice fox

I didnt get into mit im trolling

#

But i did get apply to ut Austin georgetown umich and usc all under the early round

#

I was deferred mich and usc

#

Usc doesnt accept loci

#

Mich does

#

I was joking that i dont need to write a gtown loci but i do have to for mich

Mich has a form tho and restricts to 250 words

as someone who is in college now, literally no one here cares about the rankings. would prioritize going to the place that makes the most sense for your career and where you will be happiest

there are a lot of miserable people at t20s, don't be one of them!

like i know some public policy people applying to school known for stem just cuz they’re ranked high

Is it fine that my mid-year report is submitted a few days after the feb 10 deadline?

because my mid-year grades don't come out until feb 9, and i highly doubt my counselor would submit on time, given the quick turnaround.

all the politics kids think they’re activists and it just breeds that environment

Theres megalibs everywhere

we dont have either of those

dont get me wrong we have those megalibs

but they just look like normal ppl

theyre just annoying asl

agile swallow
#

oh damn that’s surprising for texas but ig it’s a swing state now

in dc too everyone is pretty liberal so ppl feel empowered to be annoying about it

spice fox

in rural texas its prolly not like that at all

agile swallow

#

where i live theres lowk too many tho

#

i want an area with a little diversity yk

agile swallow
#

lowkey i was just at georgetown and it doesn’t feel very diverse i was just thinking that

#

bc dc is super diverse it’s majority non-white but georgetown doesn’t reflect that at all

spice fox
#

thats fair

true ice
# wicked fog really can u elaborate?

It’s a bit hard to explain but I’ve observed a couple groups of people. There are a lot of people, mostly males, that aren’t particularly smart but wanted to go to a good name brand school. Like they are wealthy and probably paid a lot for tutors and SAT coaches.

#

A lot of people project the vibe that they are better than everyone else but they are really just incredibly boring and follow trends. But there are also a lot of really cool people, it’s just not for me.

#

Being from DC, people are actually pretty interesting. Living in a city makes you interesting imo, and Georgetown ppl are the opposite. They come to a city from the suburbs and think they are cool for going to a “city” school.

#

BUT AGAIN! That is just a part of the school! Not everyone is like that OBVIOUSLY

vocal basin
#

Tbh I’m kinda worried I’m perceived that way as a person from the suburbs

#

Of course, I don’t go around trying to be a crowd pleaser because defining yourself on the basis of other people is really sad, but I want to try to find batshit crazy people that I can get inspired from

#

Of course, that would mean that fundamentally going to a “perceived prestigious school” would be counterintuitive because it’s not too hard to guess what type of people are usually gather there. However, I have an excuse to live in D.C. to my parents.

#

Maybe I said that wrong lol

#

“I just wanna make movies and meet friends who like making movies, but I also want a backdoor in case shit hits the fan” is my mentality

#

Agh, I went into a tangent (sorry)

Bro Georgetown is a great school

#

😭

#

Its a t20

#

Also i def wouldnt have got in rd lol

#

I got in EA bc they dont consider athlete or legacy Ea

#

Also tbf all t20s are ivy rejects

#

Like most kids at a school like vanderbilt or rice got rejected from the ivies

#

Shit even kids at the ivies got rejected from the other ivies

#

The label of ivy reject is just stupid
