Exactly
Cause thereās the world bank and IMF and stuff but like
Thatās for the Econ majors
No White House internships, no state dept, rip
And thatās like what? The UN?
Same
Wait
And Un internships are like impossible
Itās coming out WHEN
Donāt they send an email the day of saying it will?
CNN and the wash post will have to pull through for those journalism internships š
Is this just speculation
Based on what
Apparently
Oh
They didnāt answer me
So an email is coming out a 2pm est telling us it is released at 6pm est
Itās already 2:59
Well itās now 3pm est so
Damn
They said 2 hours before
I have nothing much to do but I still feel like my Friday is being wasted away lol
Same
I donāt want to go through this agonizing wait again on Sunday oh god
Maybe
I shouldāve kept in touch with my 5th grade āgirlfriendā from America and gotten that green card
Itās prolly Sunday I bet
And had normal internships
What internships would we even get realistically
Other than one at our embassy š
Genuinely no idea
I canāt even work at my embassy
I have no affiliation with that country aside from their passport
Lol
Never been there
I mean that will still get u an internship
I donāt wanna do that š
Guhhhhhh thatās so mid relative to like the state department
YEA
If I was a U.S. citizen the state dept would be a top career option for me
WHY ARE YOU EMAILING ME
If only
Lmao
So I mean
If weāre both into politics couldnāt we just discuss that to kill time
Can international students even join like
What do we think will happen to the role of the U.S. abroad under Trump
The college democrats and republicans
If not then like why even bother going to dc
Iād still like to be in a city where so much politics happens
Otherwise itās a downgrade from London
Anywhere other than nyc or DC is a downgrade from London I think
Iād be depressed in some random small town
If we donāt get an email at 4:00 itās not coming today
No
Sooooo
Wnana give them a call
Fucking Zillow just sent me an email and crushed my dreams
U should call
Call again
Alright
Iāll do it
Voice mail
Guys Iām losing hope
These are the last 50 minutes
I really donāt wanna go through this again on Sunday
Samee
And I have a math test to study for ugh
I wish their admissions account would be more active
If itās not out today Iāll actually be so mad
Itās not gonna be today I bet
No way everyone on Reddit collectively lied
I wouldnāt put it past Reddit
I have hope left
3:30
Thatās my guess
OH NY FOD
FORDHAM
JUST SENT ME MY DECISION
17500 scholarship
This was so random
Fordham?
This for GU?
No Fordham
Ahhhh gotcha
Bro if I get rejected from fordham itās game over
Bro I got a heartattack
Literally said that today
Got a scholarship though so thatās crazy
how do u check for scholarships and financial aid?
i got accepted but i gon nun š
where does it say the scholarship
It says it in the decision
Yep
Wait and I got the manhattan one!!
SAME
Idk if some ppl get the other one
My first U.S. decision wow
Atleast Fordham pulled through
Same
Also given we both got in with the same scholarship it makes me a bit more confident for GU
Same
Do y'all know what time stony brooksās ea will come out?
Still nothing?
Nope, but you should try looking on Reddit
Two hours ago if someone had told me I would be getting an acceptance tonight
Fordham got my back
I wouldāve 100% guessed GU and wouldāve been over the moon
But itās Fordham! Lol
Itās fine itās top 100 in the nation
Yup
And years ago I used to think it was quite fancy
Andddd itās in manhattan
So whoās complaining atp
Onggg plus a scholarship
What does this mean??
Do I have a full ride or what š
Because Iām thinking of NYU promise, is it perchance the same as that? šæ
I donāt think so the scholarship is like labelled
Thatās just describing the college
In large letters
Where is the GU decision guys
Love how youāre all so excited to come here cuz weāre in finals season rn and everyone here is just so depressed
šš
im going to piss my pants if its today
Someone should try calling again
Sydney do you wanna call
I have to study for tests next week over the weekend ugh can it just come today
Guys whatever happens regarding GU im guessing we all start winter break soon
Thatās keeping me going
SYDNEY
š¦šŗš¦šŗš¦šŗš¦šŗš¦šŗš¦šŗš¦šŗ
pls
has anyone called so far i havent read up
Yup but they didnāt pick up
i might when i get home then
Guys idk if this is allowed to ask but what were your SAT scores you submitted to Gu
I donāt wanna say
Iām feeling cooked
1390 š cause I didnāt study for it then 1490 then 1510
Itās over for me
Bro itās fine
Same canāt do math š
We should not share stats cause that Lokey just stresses everyone out š
Iām actually cooked
Real
my essays are pretty not good if that makes people feel better
Mine arenāt either aside from like 1 or 2
In the talent one I wrote about my passion for like world building and drawing fictional maps, being able to cook a steak perfectly without a thermometer, and being able to yap to anyone about anything non stop
Oo thatās cool
Esp the world building part
I talked about photography lol
Kind of boring
the world building one is super neat
But I tied it to how I like to capture historical events that tell stories like the kings coronation here
All of that in 150 words?
Nuclear accidents
Yep
Oo damn
It was super brief but I managed it
i think my talent one was about language learning
Oh
which is pretty cliche
Didnāt like my talent essay
but
Also there werenāt actual word limits it was more like āhalf a pageā etc
For the talents I just wrote several concise things
Prefer not to think about the content of my applications after theyāre submitted
This has nothing to do with whether you get in or not but I always tell people to just pick one skill and go in depth with that
yeah valid
Like bullet points almost
im not sfs
cas
Thatās a sound strategy and Iād recommend yall do that
I wrote about how living in a country with a history of war and occupation liek inspired my interest in international politics and foreign service
Sometimes I think theyāre genius sometimes I think theyāre laughable
where are you from?
Thatās super interesting
i havent looked at my essays since i wrote them
same
i will crash out if i look at them again i think
I wasnāt born here I was actually born in Central Asia but Iāve lived here for most of my life
Like since I was 3
But funnily enough the Russian occupation still applies
To either country
Iām from Nepal (though rn I live in London) so I wrote about nepals past history with democracy and how protest movements in Nepal inspired me and about the 2019 Hong Kong protests and I tied that to Nepals own history with protest movements
Iām banking on Nepal honestly š
Oh yeah thatās good
Hopefully that makes me stand out lmao
Guys I donāt think its happening today
Yea
Letās call them one last time perchance
i hope its today so i can stop worrying about it
Same
We just gotta wait till 4 lol
but yeah dont think its happening
I was so excited for it to happen today ugh
Iām so done with not knowing
I was A decision, whatever it is
i didnt realize it even could happen today and i had a world class tweak out about it
What if Georgetown jsut doesnāt send the email in advance
And the narcissist in me thinks that Iāll get accepted so the later GU is in releasing the decisions the more I have to delay my celebration
I donāt think Iām getting accepted ngl
Deep down I know I wonāt either
im expecting a deferral
So I actually like this feeling of uncertainty
I also did Chicago but I know they love ED and hate EA so
i think ive heard back from all my ea schools except georgetown and purdue
didnt ed anywhere bc of financial situation
When is Purdue out
jan 15
I see
Thatās quite late wow
Loll
If I donāt get into both GU and UChicago I may as well ED II to NYU
Idk
i mean why not
OMG THE HOLIDAY IS ON NETFLIX AGAIN
wait sorry
I have to go watch it
Bye guys
Good luck and Iāll be back if hereās updates!!!
I did American, Fordham, GU, UMD, northeastern and some other one Iām forgetting
This is lkterally the plan for me
how many have u heard back from
i have all acceptances rn cant wait to ruin my streak this weekend
Yea if Fordham had been a rejection I wouldāve lost all hope for GU
Ooo
Oh yeah
Maybe your streak will stay
all safeties so not like impressive
Iām gonna stay awake till 1AM no matter what
Lol
ill be home in like half an hour and i will
Thanks
Yayyy
Ty
Iāve accepted the deferral alreayd ngl like
Idk thereās just something about my application, I realized I donāt stand out with my activities
Beooo my classmates are getting into the Ivy League left and right the pressure is unreal šššš
Rip me
Dartmouth Harvard Cornell Princeton
My classmates are all getting into top 10,000 schools so thereās no pressure on me
I come from a very non competitive school
My school is apparently competitive idk
Literally me and my best Galpal are the only people applying to the US
Why are people I didnāt think were smart getting into the Ivy League help š no shade
my school is a little random with competitiveness
That increases my confidence for GU
like the class below me is stacked
but my class isnt crazy?
on average we send 3 kids to t20 adjacent schools
out of 550
I have a 40/45 IB and like Iām 2nd place in my class by the score, meanwhile last years class had like 3 people with 43/45
My class is COOKED
Thereās like 10 people actually trying and everyone else is literally coming to school to sit on their phones
We sent 4/10 to GU the last two years but like
i usually just sit on my phone tbh my classes are a snooze
We donāt do class rank but I know Iām nowhere near the top ten percent
Thatās so good
wait sorry this is back to the decision release topic
are they not coming today then?
Itās probably not happening
Apparently not
Sydney will call in an hour
I called and they did actually say they planned to do it today but no specifications
im top 2% of mine (will be 1% after this sem) but our gpa calculations are screwy so it hardly matters
Huh
Did you actually
Letās wait till 6Pm then
thanks for calling
That puts u in such a good position tho
Sydney you should call again though
I keep hearing that GU is obsessed with class rank
we have to email a counselor to see ours
Yes I also emailed them and got a response saying: āThank you for your email. More information on the timing of decision release will be sent out later today.ā
Oh wow
bc people started acting insane about it being normally available
I canāt attach images here
Ok then Iām back on the delusional train
so sounding like will be out sunday but announcement tn???
no but that could mean they will tell us today that they are releasing on Sunday
No I donāt think so
No I think they usually announce and release on the same day
im gonna crash out
Yea either both today or both Sunday
Ig letās wait till 6pm
we are getting an email today according to guadmiss lol
GU is really dropping the ball with this one
And that Fordham acceptance gets more tempting by the hour š«
they have to have made the decisions by now canāt they tell us at least when theyāre releasing them š
Exactly
Idk guys
Iām feeling it
Like
The email
I feel like I need to get my laptop and refresh
can anyone please confirm
PH MY GOD
watch itāll pop in our inboxes like now
today or not today
no because we donāt know :(
Apple watch is telling me I have dangerously high heart rate
what are we mutually agreeing on
they said they āhope toā release them today when I called
6PM est today
Pleaseeee ššš
lmao
Iām actually going to throw up
You need to take a breather
and they said in an email they will give us info today
Idec if Iām deferred I just want to get this over with
(Cope)
Fordham is giving me hope for GWU and AU
Same but then again it has a 50 something percent acceptance š
I think AU is a safety and GWU a target
Did you do the Fordham supplemental?
georgetown is the first school ill be getting a response from that had to like Really look at my stats and thats scary
Yup
I didnāt
Same
Damn
Value them
Lmaoo
I didnāt do the interview either
And you still got a 17k school
yeah Iād agree with this
Like
Maybe the IB score is carring
Their average is 34
Or something
Carrying
Or my common app essay is good
Idk
wtf my friend just got into johns hopkins now im fuckign im even more tweaking
Yea
shit
But I didnāt do much
just give me my admission
Oh lord
Damn
thats awesome
none of the people i keep up with have gotten in anywhere crazy yet
Me too
my school has a lot of people who are (sorry beinf mean) wasting their app money
Fr
Lemonade pls
I think theyāve blocked me
Wahh
Lmao
Bruh š
Guys Iām tweaking
Mellywelly they will rescind your offer now
dam
Getting blocked is wild
Idk but theyāre not answering me
im gonna open all my junk college mail to pass the time
Same
If you get l deferred just know you had actually gotten in until these calls freaked them out
Wait do you know how much like a uni can see about your classmates who donāt apply
Like will they see
My class average score
Versus mine
I donāt think so
Fuck
That sounds illegal
Idk like they see the average SAT score
they can see your schools average sat
So why not the average grade if itās anonymous
and a couple other stats
No one at my school takes the SAT
oh wait yeah
In my class 4 people have taken it
idk what they see then
I hope they see it because (humble brag) my 1450 is like 200 points above the second highest scorer
Some counselors will send your schools profile
And a 1450
Damn wow
Isnāt even
Doesnāt Georgetown require school profile?
Yea the school profile
Too competitive for GU
Thatās where they see everything
these handwritten letters from my safety almost make me feel bad
GUYS WHERE IS ITTT
Also I tried calling again their lines are full š
Ugh
Ffs
Guys I have hope itās coming today
I slept for 3 hours yesterday because I was watching The Game Awards
Now I feel like death
Damn
i did that too
But Iām still going to persevere till 1 AM
but it ended at 11 my time so it wasnt that bad for me
excited for mafia and Witcher
Elden Ring nightreign is the one thing keeping me from actually losing my mind today I think
im pumped about the witcher
Itās going to come out after we graduate college
Witcher looked great too
dude the potential lore implications of that trailer have made me nauseated
itās not canon
not explicitly but itās a ādifferent branchā of the story with no relation except the shattering taking place in both games
Guys
YOU HAD ME EXCITED FOR A SECOND
Well
What if they literally jsut donāt send the email
And do the decision email only
atp maybe
theyāre going to be breaking tradition or lying one way or another
And that the mail came a day after for some reason
im gonna go check my mailbox in case they sent me my acceptance letter š
Iām just happy I got into at least 1 top 100 US uni
(cope)
bc they said there will be an email on the decision date later today, when itās usually the morning of the decision
The best university in my country is ranked 6648 or soemthing
they technically close at 5 pm too I just realized
does that have any implication on when we may or may not get more info
Decision comes after 5
But in
Idk
Letās call again before 5
Actually banging my head against the wall
can you believe there wasnt an acceptance letter in my mailbox š¤Æš¤Æš¤Æ
its okay maybe the mailman just didnt come
So true
he forgot
Iām actually crashing out
What music do you guys listen to
Only radio pop hits
Bts
Now Iām going to listen to Lana del Rey since we can bond over the both of us being accepted to Fordham
my wrapped
Iāve been listening to TS to cope
thank you
No same
I CALLED AGAIN AND THEYāRE CLOSED ALREADY
ARE YOU FR
RU SURE
but it means we canāt harass them about when itās coming
maybe they closed early bc people are being annoying
Till 5
Cause itās closing time lol
Are they silly
Isnāt it
No
No its 5
40 more minutes
Bruh
Youād think they wouldnāt close early on one of the most important days of the year
āpeopleā (me)
Maybe theyāre like signing off and sending the email as theyāre leaving out the door
i wouldnt want to have 10 quadrillion high schoolers calling me with the same question
My most streamed album is Spotifyās top global album lol and my most streamed artist is Spotifyās top global artist
Iām so original
With the utmost sympathy for the people actually answering the phone, the problem wouldāve been avoided had the sent an email saying exactly when the decisions are releasing š
yeah i agree
no literally I am waiting for that email on āthe timing of decision releaseā
Guys I just have to get a decision
I emailed my college counsellor telling her about the Fordham update at 11pm
Iām going to check the portal again
i misadded one of my teachers as a counselor when doing recs and i think gave her an absolute panic attack about it when she like didnt have access to my transcript n stuff
so this is for her now
she also gave me interview tips
I have an extra letter of rec from my student council mentor/teacher I had for like several years Iām hoping it pays off because I worked my ass off as VP
I genuinely canāt believe it wonāt come out tonight
If so many people say itās going to
Oh my god
Arizona State
Just gave me a heart attack
Ok last theory
No warning email and just the decision email
At 6
If not
Itās joever
LOL I got the ASU email too
Lmfao
No way so many people are in on the troll
Of it being at 6 today
Right
holy shit New York Times needs to stfu
Wait is NYT doing a college info thing lmao
I like the theory that it will just come out at 6
No just newsletters and stuff lol
Did people actually call tho
I wonder if my LoRs were good
Same
Yeah Deadass
Is this like a sign of paranoid schizophrenia
But I feel like
Everyone is lying to me
Thereās no way Georgetown just lied like that
Theyāre so ad hoc
And arrogant sometimes
Just join common app and have a set date for decisions release omg
maybe theyll announce it at 5 and release at 6 ššš
Two more days of dreaming about SFS
Iām not quitting last moment
So true
Maybe so many people called they didnāt have time to write the email
Watch them just announce that decisions are out
Watch them not announce anything and just silently update the portal
And they normally release at 6 so theyāre closed anyways
Yea but them being closed has nothing to do with it
No like we canāt even call them and ask
Itās Taylor swifts birthday today so I want it today
Oh lord Iām scared
I did and they did say they plan to release tonight
I didnāt get the āitās 6 for sureā some of the Reddit ppl said they did
But yes itās not JUST delusion
Ok then I will wait
and again they did say theyād send info about when it is later today
in writing
in an email
I will officially turn Friday the 13th into a good luck day if I get in today
it would be crazy for them to lie about that right??!? RIGHT?!?!
Yeah
Yup
Uh
Unless they just donāt care at all about our mental health
Oh no
Itās technically a secret
The uh
Which reflects poorly on them
But it is today
But peopel called them
At 6
Just told me it was today
Itās not a secret I think
im going to start rolling around on the floor
If u called them they said itās today
they said āhopingā and that they would provide an update later today but yeah fair
But like theyāre not supposed to announce it
Honestly tho
They prob just didnāt finish
And werenāt sure if they could release it today
But ig they can?
When did you call
Guys
It lowkey annoys me that they donāt reject
Yeah ong
Sorry if this sounds like Iām questioning you but Iām going insane
Iād honestly rather be rejected straight away then wait 4 months and then get rejected
did you actually call, be honest
Same
Like the decision or the email notifying that the decision is coming at 6?
They mean in terms of the email saying when it will be out
Ur decision
Notifying
Is 6
Oh
How do you know
Well the email might come in 10 minutes it would make sense
I go here and know ppl who work in the admissions office
Wait so will
Do you think itās today
Oh lol
Just wait
I need to clarify
An hour and 9 minutes
Iām going crazy
My cope is that GWU will maybe take me
Holy fuck Brandeis please
No one asked for this email rn
Iām pretty sure it will but itās soooooo expensive and Iām only paying that much for GU or a T20
GWU is an amazing school imo (this is for me just as much as for you š)
esp if youāre interested in Georgetown
so uh what other schools are we considering guys š„š„
Itās actually so great tho! Quite a few famous names went there
and whats yalls planned major
And you still get to be in SC
GWU
DC
I really like Boston College
guys GWU actually has a metro station unlike GU
I jsut love Boston itself as a city
public policy with minors in teaching and Farsi š„
Intl political economy
GWU also has nicer dorms
Foggy bottom >>>
GWU is more central
farsi is cool
at georgetown id be doing environment & sustainability
Oo cool
I like arrogant people itās fun
but for a couple other schools im eco/evo bio
No shh weāre hyping up GWU
To prepare for the inevitable
gwu will also have arrogant people
They took me up there on the tour and we saw Kamalaās motorcade
bc they have honors program
That round thing that I always see when I search up GWU seems cool
I can see myself standing under there one day
and also a lot of people there are also probably interning in Congress lmao
Embassies are amazing tho
Idk thatās just like not what I really wanna do
But being a non citizen
Might have to
Also Jackie Kennedy went to GWU
If the Georgetown AOs saw how dedicated we are in this chat
Theyād deffo let us in
Weāve been here for like 4 hours
Lmao yea
Which makes it extra depressing knowing the hard truth
I wonder if people who get in would be in this chat or not
Like what if ppl who actually get in arenāt the type to do this š
I think this chat would have statistically above average applicants
They must be the nonchalant type
Hope so
This chat def has the above average applicant for Georgetown
Letās hope so
Applicant definitely
We all care way too much just to know I definitely will get deferred
Student maybe ?
Iām just hoping my sat pulls through
My SAT score is definitely the weakest part of my application
The fact that tens of thousand apply each year and we are like five ppl chatting on here shows weāre the most committed to GU
Is it coming out today
we care the most guys trust š
Guys even if we all get deferred maybe it was about the friends we made along the way
Yes
No
Oh man
Exactly
:(
Guys when we inevitably end up at GWU and gawk at the Gu students across the district
We should Lokey follow each other on Instagram if you guys want
Well know
I wish Georgetown gave an REA boost
Lmao
How many of you are committing instantly if you get in?
If we get in or end up anywhere in DC we need to meet up next year
Iāll wait till May but mentally Iāll be set
i probably wont commit till april
The only schools Iām applying to that are better than Georgetown
Are ones that I have -86% chance of getting in
Yeah same for me
Which are Yale and Columbia
Same, Iām not getting into duke and Cornell ā ļø
Oh and duke
Iām not getting into Columbia
those are my other top choices too!
Well itās 5:00. ow
Georgetown is my best shot at a top school
Me neither
Itās so me coded
Lmao
I am actually crashing out
im doing crosswords to distract myself
One more hour to go guys
What should I watch while I wait
Washington Post pls shut up I DO NOT care about trumps cabinet choices right now
Why canāt they do it Saturday ?
Even tho I usually do
Yes! We will meet up at GWU and start a cult
Or AU
Guys donāt you think GWU is all filled with GU rejects
Itās kind of depressing to think about
Literally saw someone call it
I alr have a different scholarship so yeah almost definitely
Lmao
Georgetown Waitlist Universirt
The Georgetown graveyard
No guys
GWU is actually better
In many aspects
Their medical program
Did you know that they sequenced the omicron Covid variant there?
georgetown waitlist isnāt really that bad of an insult lol
and also yeah
the student environment seems amazing there
Heard that fact while on the tour
Iāve heard the opposite
oh really
Yea I heard people at GWU are super smart
I mean itās a giant school but like
That thereās kinda little socialisation
Also the Elliot school is not too far behind SFS
from what Iāve heard it is very chill compared to other schools
also for me they have a top-tier Farsi program
GWUs main student newspaper has more followers than the Hoya
Ez
And within DC GWU is extremely well reputed
not gonna say better than Georgetownās so I donāt bite the hand thatāll definitely feed me in an hour but many would say better than GUās
I really appreciate Fordham and their scholarship but I REALLY do not wanna go there
I live near fordham and itās not awful
76K a year is still just too much
And even with the scholarship itās still like 60k a year š
But yeah
Yea lmao
Not worth price of admission and price of living in NYC
Like Iāll still go if itās the only place
AMAZING city (not biased at all) but expensive city
And I already got into SOAS which isnāt terrible and itās right here in London and will cost 9,000 pounds a year
So thatās my ultimate safety
We may know
dont remind me
Potentially our entire life will change
OUR ENTIRE FOUR YEATS
the next four years
and beyond
Ong
Good luck to u guys
And possible our future significant other
Ty
Thanks
Iām going to have to realllly re think my next four years if I donāt get in lol
Yes GWU but Iām just not passionate about it like GU
and itās expensive
Thanks UMiami for that email
The person on college confidential just doubled down that itās tonight at 6
So we wait
yeah from what I can tell they are similar quality if you look past the prestige (unless you wanna like publish an IR paper with your prof š) but GWU is way more expensive
We can still be delusional and think weāre going to get in when itās spring
But if I get deferred Iām letting GU go
Till spring
Donāt be afraid of a thing that wonāt happen šŖ (knock on wood)
I canāt have my hear broken twice
Same
same but I do plan on pursuing an RD application
But I wonāt be able to ED commit anywhere because that what if will always stay with me, like Iāll only truly let it go after that RD rejection
like Iāll send a letter of interest if they ask or wtv
Yeah same
My semester grades are shit
