goodbye gtown thread it was nice while it lasted

[potent relic]

To those of you who received unfavorable news, I want to remind you that this decision will seem inconsequential a year from now and I am absolutely positive that you will thrive elsewhere. To those of you who were accepted, congratulations, this is a huge accomplishment. I am so proud of you all. If any of you have any questions about Georgetown, do not hesitate to ask. Hoya Saxa and hang in there fellas

[potent relic]

You’re a good kid, God has better plans for you

[zinc quiver]

Thank you my friend

[rigid viper]

can i see someones waitlist letter

plz

[gray gull]

[rigid viper]

thanks

[rich elm]

georgetown's got to have the most underwhelming acceptance letter of all time do they

i couldn't even figure out if i'd got in based on the shortness of the letter and the font

[potent relic]

Sure!

[potent relic]

Yeah I remember that I actually stopped reading my letter last year when I saw it said “thank you for applying”. Then I looked again and saw I got in

[rich elm]

lol i feel you. honestly feel exhilerated to have been offered a place, they made life really difficult for me with EA with my interview being rescheduled like 3 times and having to do it during a natural disaster in my city and stuff

really glad it came off in the end

[gray gull]

got it

[indigo atlas]

[warped spindle]

For those of u who got accepted, did you get a finaid offer? I got in ea but I still haven’t gotten mine so just wondering if y’all’s came with it

[lone pelican]

i tthink it might come out later? when fafsa processes for everyone?

[warped spindle]

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking too. Just wanted to check

[upper nexus]

waitlisted georgetown mcdonough

[vocal basin]

:D

[rich elm]

i mean technically it's a deferral for EA right

[vocal basin]

Well yeah

[steel vault]

Rejected sadly

[vocal basin]

But EA can’t get rejected

So it’s basically the same thing tbh

[spice fox]

Sorry bro

[wispy cave]

@spice fox

[spice fox]

[signal phoenix]

does anyone know if georgetown does a physical package

[wispy cave]

they send like one card or something

[soft root]

Guys I’m opening my letter in 20 minutes

Scaryyyy

[hybrid summit]

[vocal basin]

What happen

[potent hinge]

Georgetown l

Fmlll

[soft root]

Waitlisted 😭

That’s my 4th waitlist

Welp if it’s time for me to leave this thread

Since I was waitlisted

Sayonara everyone

It’s been fun

[burnt belfry]

me too goodbye :(

[ebon sluice]

When do accepted students get their finaid packages?

[wispy cave]

ea students haven't gotten it back yet lol

also guys

for my fellow rejects <3

who eats at 8 pm

10 pm breakfast gang rise

[spice fox]

Its dogshit

Legit just a singular sticker

And a holiday card that only ea admits mightve gotten since it was december

They also send the acceptance letter physically

[true sleet]

Ur so lucky I wish

today im walking through gtown

post reject

[rich elm]

im guessing none of this is for internationals lol

[true sleet]

😭

[rich elm]

that would be pretty heart wrenching for me ngl

[true sleet]

it will be but I have no choice

I’m actually so sad

like I don’t even think I was this sad over my ed

I think it’s bc now it’s settling in after today there are no more decisions

[rich elm]

yea that makes sense. you're gonna get through this 💪

[true sleet]

Yess tyy good luck!!

[rich elm]

thank you :)

[vocal basin]

Tbh, Georgetown was like the only excuse to go live in D.C.

Well I have the gwu scholarship but it’s still more expensive than uva (instate)

I know I’m still coping because the georgetown dream, but it’s probably a blessing in disguise

[vocal birch]

i dont wanna go to gtown imo

the students there are hella rich and spoiled

[vocal basin]

Isn't that basically a bunch of elite schools ever though

Like for example, darmouth median family income being 200.4k

[stiff plinth]

I feel like it’s not as bad as

Ppl say it is

[quaint egret]

Did you guys get the missing finaid email?

I check and it said it was missing Fafsa and K-1

[rancid junco]

Fr that's my fear 😭😭 I want to network w important ppl but at what cost 😔☝️

[vocal basin]

isn't networking with rich people a good thing

[rancid junco]

Yeah but some schools/environments with a lot of rich kids breeds a pretty out-of-touch group

And it's always good to have economic diversity along with everything else 🫡

[vocal basin]

True true

[potent relic]

Honestly the complete opposite. I’ve gotten to know some people that were super down to earth and chill and then I learned later that they were apparently super wealthy

A lot of people avoid talking about their family background and are not pretentious

[pulsar cloak]

what's the soonest anyone on the wl would hear back

[gray gull]

probably early may

[ebon sluice]

guys the finaid office just told me i dont qualify for aid should i appeal and how would i do that??

[ember marten]

what’s your family income?

and yeah they are greedy with aid, only ~37% of students get it so an appeal might be hard

[ebon sluice]

200k, family of 6

[ember marten]

and they didn’t give you anything? does your family have assets that are worth a lot of money or savings that they reported?

never mind, i just saw that you’re international. from their website: “Admitted students who have requested financial aid and are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents will be considered for a very limited number of need-based scholarships.”

[ebon sluice]

nothing :( and I'm actually a US citizen, i just live abroad :(

[ember marten]

if you’re a us citizen then you should definitely appeal! unless your family reported assets that would make them deem you ineligible for aid. unfortunately idk much about that process, but i think this is a good place to start: https://finaid.georgetown.edu/undergrad/aid-for-undergrads/changes-and-special_circ/

also get in contact with your designated financial aid advisor (based on the first letter of your last name) and communicate directly with them. they’re actually very helpful and usually respond quickly in my (limited) experience

[ebon sluice]

thank you so much!! where can I find my designated financial aid advisor?

[ember marten]

here: https://finaid.georgetown.edu/contact-us/

you can also set up a virtual meeting, which may be helpful to explain your situation

also consider completing the net price calculator with the most accurate info possible so that you can get a better idea of what to expect from your appeal

https://npc.collegeboard.org/app/georgetown

[ebon sluice]

Thank you sososo much I'll try my best!

[rancid junco]

Wtf??? I was hoping Gtown might be able to match my Dartmouth or Williams aid 😭😭

Has anyone gotten a finaid offer from them yet(?)

[ember marten]

they MIGHT give you a similar package but williams is known for being generous and dartmouth just got a huge donation that means families with an income below $125k have to pay like $5k at most. georgetown isn’t known for aid at all 😭

[rancid junco]

Omg that's so devastating 😭 but im def going to appeal for dartmouth bc I think I should be getting way more money based off that information

[ember marten]

an appeal never hurts, but also remember they take into account things like whether you have siblings in college or whether your family has “typical” assets for its income range.

[rancid junco]

Yeah but I'm a twin and sometimes colleges forget to factor that into finaid, so it's always good to send a little reminder 😭😭🫡

[spice fox]

Which of the 3 is ur favorite

[rancid junco]

I really don't know 😭 actually my top choices are WashU or Swarthmore rn bc I've visted them before. But Williams is flying me out and I'm trying to go to Gtown admitted students day so we'll see

[warped spindle]

I haven’t still and I was admitted ea :/

[rancid junco]

Okay atp they need to get their act together 💀

[warped spindle]

And I’m pretty sure I definitely qualify 😭

It’s prob cuz of the fafsa delays

[spice fox]

I was admitted ea and got mine yesterday

My net price calculator said 32k

They want me to pay 86k a year

[warped spindle]

Wait so u got no aid?

Also did they get ur fafsa? Cuz I’m pretty sure mine already processed but they haven’t gotten it yet?

Sorry it’s just that no one else has given me any response on this 🙏

[rancid junco]

They're joshing you with that number 💀💀

Has to be a sick joke 💀

[spice fox]

I dont know man im depressed

I was ready to commit

[spice fox]

Measly 6k

I dont know what to do atp

Ivyday then this

And now stanford 💀

[warped spindle]

Omg wow

Well now I’m not sure I wanna get mine 😂

[ember marten]

you might not have all of your materials in. i was admitted ea but since i was missing stuff they didn’t give me an aid package until like 3 weeks ago.

[warped spindle]

I have everything but it says they r missing my fafsa

But my fafsa has been processed already

Did they use ur fafsa for it?

[ember marten]

no they calculated mine without my fafsa. they just predicted my efc and used that in the aid package

but my fafsa is processed now too and their predicted efc was spot on, so i doubt my aid will change

[ember marten]

actually i just checked, and they still haven’t received my fafsa. but that didn’t stop me from getting an aid package so maybe email them and ask what happened

[warped spindle]

Got ya, thanks!

[rich elm]

Hey guys, would any of y'all be kind enough to put in some comments this school x vs y that I posted yesterday?

https://discord.com/channels/786557653924708373/1223284131845378231

Would appreciate if any current students could respond to this as well. Thank you so much!

[gray gull]

Does anyone know a Georgetown student that was accepted off of the waitlist?

[potent relic]

Was not myself but would be happy to help in anyway possible

[gray gull]

I was just gonna ask if you submitted a letter of continued interest lmao

Cuz idk what to do for that

[stiff plinth]

If u ask for more aid

They may give it to u

It just may not be a huge amount

[cursive flame]

hey is anyone who was accepted to the MSB be willing to share their essay for the schol related prompt

APPLICANTS TO THE MCDONOUGH SCHOOL OF BUSINESS: The McDonough School of Business is a national and global leader in providing graduates with essential ethical, analytical, financial and global perspectives. Please discuss your motivations for studying business at Georgetown.

a friend of mine is trying to transfer and he could use some advice

also he wants me to ask if you can minor across schools

[rancid junco]

I'm confused on what the ID/user is supposed to be to access Georgetown Financial Aid 😭😭

[ember marten]

i’m pretty sure the ID is in your acceptance letter!

and then you have to make a Georgetown MyAccess account, which is actually kind of complicated

[potent relic]

Yeah my access is tricky when getting started

[warped spindle]

Anyone tried appealing their financial aid? If we have to wait on the fafsa to send for them to reevaluate our aid and we gotta commit by May 1st how are we supposed to have the time to appeal our aid? I got in ea, I come from rural Mississippi (which I told them) and their finaid net price calculator told me that AT MOST I’d be expected to pay 15k…. Just got my finaid offer and I’m expected to pay 30k. My family doesn’t even own 30k… so pretty crushed rn. Anyone in the same situation?

[spice fox]

Can i dm you?

[warped spindle]

Yes

[spice fox]

dead chat

[fathom remnant]

[wispy cave]

[unborn aurora]

anyone going to the open house this friday

?

[spice fox]

Yea i am

[ember marten]

yeah i am but leaving early

[covert forum]

anyone know what free stuff they give at GAAP weekend

[rich elm]

haven't you committed to somwhere else?

[spice fox]

Technically i have but my dad said i can decommit if i want and go here

[rich elm]

ah that makes sense

hope you have a great time!

[cursive flame]

do any current students know if you can apply to bsbga early or do you have to wait until april of your freshmen year

[rancid junco]

kinda late, but if their finaid calc said you should pay at most 15k, email the finaid office, or if youre on campus talk w an advisor!!

[spice fox]

not current but ive spoke to current and alum, afaik you have to wait until april of freshman year

[rich elm]

Is it normal for the fin aid office to like not respond to your mails very quickly?

Had some questions and didn't receive replies despite sending a follow up one as well

been almost a week and a half since I sent the mails

[ember marten]

not normal at all in my experience this year, they responded to me within 2 business days. you should try calling

also did you email your specific fin aid rep based on your last name? if not maybe that’s why it’s taking so long?

[rich elm]

yes I did, which puzzles me even more

[rich elm]

I live outside the US atm so that could be a bit complicated

[kindred wren]

did anyone also get the message about reconfirming their spot on the WL?

hello chat😭

[warped wagon]

I did too

do you know if all WL applicants got it?

[clever breach]

Yes, I think everyone got it.

[gray gull]

What

Oh yes I got one of those nvm

Has anyone heard back yet
