#

i need a boost LOL

clever hound Dec 12, 2025, 5:09 AM

#

again it's all about fit, if there's one thing I've taken away so far it's that there's definitely a wide range of people that go here

#

just in terms of intellectual priorities

sweet rampart Dec 12, 2025, 5:10 AM

#

hows social scene

clever hound Dec 12, 2025, 5:10 AM

#

sweet rampart Dec 12, 2025, 5:10 AM

#

#

clever hound Dec 12, 2025, 5:10 AM

#

I mean a bunch of my friends go to UMich so like

#

sweet rampart Dec 12, 2025, 5:10 AM

#

clever hound Dec 12, 2025, 5:10 AM

#

clever hound Dec 12, 2025, 5:11 AM

#

sweet rampart Dec 12, 2025, 5:11 AM

#

like whenever

clever hound Dec 12, 2025, 5:11 AM

#

ok yea Im wrapping up my first semester rn

#

finals season rn

#

but like I go jogging on the waterfront which is fire

#

it's like a 30 minute jog to the national mall which i love

#

clubs are pretty good if a bit competitive

#

there's definitely some pressure in some circles to get into the consulting/investment groups

#

but there's no shortage of open access clubs

dry coral Dec 12, 2025, 5:12 AM

clever hound Dec 12, 2025, 5:15 AM

#

on the deferral letter they state that 10% of people deferred get in regular

#

dry coral Dec 12, 2025, 5:15 AM

dry coral Dec 12, 2025, 5:18 AM

Ugh no amount of nervousness will change anything but it would be so great to get in

FYI the admissions office (along with other administrative offices) has a history of lying about dates

modest briar Dec 12, 2025, 2:52 PM

#

lying?? 😭

stoic oyster Dec 12, 2025, 2:52 PM

#

I believe last year for RD they told people that called the office it wouldn’t be releasing on the day they actually released them

stoic oyster Dec 12, 2025, 2:54 PM

#

sweet rampart i lowk wish i did gov at cas instead of jpp

I (as well as the dean for all jppp students) suggest taking the intro public policy course and an intro level gov course at the hilltop freshman year

#

As well as visiting the Capitol Campus

#

To get a feel for both

#

It’s very easy to switch to gov your first two years

Rules around stats that you can tell others bc I realize I haven’t gone over it this year:

It’s rude to ask people for their stats right after they receive a decision. Let them celebrate if they got in, give them space if they got rejected. No need to make everything about stats all the time
That said, if someone who got decisions would like to give out their stats, they may do so when asked, but stats shouldn’t be attached to results posts (aka I don’t want to see a whole r/collegeresults post inside #✨-celebration-station #👻-the-medium-place and #💪-chad-rejects)

This is honestly so true, saying this as someone who went through the arduous process of applying during the end of freshman year

If you want to be in the SFS, best you transfer early; that way you get guaranteed access to prosems and cool stuff like mortara

I’d say I reluctantly agree with this. I do think that the SFS core is a little too intensive and quite the pain in the ass esp if you’re not into specific subjects (econ for ipol majors, for instance)

naive leaf Dec 13, 2025, 4:14 PM

You still need to apply if you’re doing it prior to the start of freshman. There’s an essay etc

That being said, they’re not going to scrutinize it to the same level compared to if you’re applying at the end of the academic year

sonic oak Dec 13, 2025, 4:16 PM

It definitely is rigorous. I did college to SFS, they look at your transcript, ECs, coursework, ambitions etc

it just gets a lot of flack because its a hard time for georgetown overall. theyre losing money and the decrease in international students (suspended visas) and no research grants under trump admin means money is tight

#

I will say (take this with a grain of salt but I heard it from other students too), your financial aid package will be higher the first year to get you to enroll

#

For example my aid package has decreased 10-15k every year even tho I've been taking on loan debt

#

Georgetown financial aid is hit or miss in full transparency

hey guys, need some advice
since the georgetown activities list only allows 6 activities and has a checkbox for deca, volunteer work, and model un, does this mean i shouldnt talk about them in my 6 activities?

i did a lot for deca and mun so i want to go into the specifics of it but im worried i shouldnt bc id be wasting space when there's already checkboxes for them

georgetown is so weird...it only allows for 3 awards too

no, the checkboxes are just in addition to show everything you’ve ever done

#

because there’s 3 fill in the blank activities

#

just copy your common app and either cut off 4 activities or condense them

I heard a UNC admissions rep visiting my school mention that, if you have something to add to your application that doesn’t fit on the CommonApp (more to elaborate on a specific extracurricular, different things you did/want to emphasize that aren’t in your activities and awards sections), he’d recommend including a resume. However, he said that it could be redundant and unnecessary to submit a resume, if it will generally just be restating what’s in the rest of your CommonApp, not adding any new info. UNC isn’t Georgetown, but I think that’s the general rule of thumb when deciding whether to submit a resume!

modest briar how did u guys fit caps in one page

mine was 628 and just over a page so i cut

#

you can do margins stuff because its a pdf

#

or change to times new roman because it's smaller than arial

#

i submitted mine in TNR

#

just because i felt like it was the most aesthetically matching

modest briar Jan 10, 2026, 7:24 PM

i mean do they have any guidelines

raw dagger Jan 12, 2026, 4:30 AM

if they don't ask for one it is best not to submit it

it will provide 0 value to your application
