Georgetown University (2025-2026)

[sacred wraith]

ok but theres good brutalism vs… that

like i love the dc metro

why cant everything be like healy smh

[chilly skiff]

but the brutalist library is meant to be a replica of healy

which is kind of cool

[sacred wraith]

is the 20 minutes walk to the nearest metro reslly thst big of an inconvenience like i get why ppl stay on campus a lot but damn

foggy bottom isnt that far

[chilly skiff]

i mean its not that bad of a walk

but its just very inconvenient

[sacred wraith]

i suppose so

[chilly skiff]

but the bus is amazing

[sacred wraith]

isnt the nearest target in columvia heights

i remember being shocked it was just there when i was in dc for the summer

[chilly skiff]

it comes very close to gtown's campus and goes straight into downtown dc

[chilly skiff]

no

theres one in tenleytown

[sacred wraith]

where is that

[chilly skiff]

which u can also access easily w the bus

[chilly skiff]

more north

most gtown kids get groceries at trader joes, whole foods, and the giant nearby

[sacred wraith]

omg trader joes

the nearest one is 2h 17m from me

😍

[fresh fern]

i really want the 2048 cupcakes i wish i had mentioned it in my supp

[vestal shuttle]

no literally

i live 20 mins from the subway andi. walk all the time

i dont understand why ppl dont go into dc

like georgetown is a cute neighborhood but it lowkey just looks like all of cambridge mass

wait onion youre in jppp right

[modest briar]

they want midyear report but im not even in school nomo 🥀

js realised there was no where to indicate im even on gap yr in the entire app

relying on the hope they read the additional info LOL

[sacred wraith]

👍

[vestal shuttle]

oh cool

[sacred wraith]

[vestal shuttle]

[vestal shuttle]

[sacred wraith]

i hope to but im already visiting gtown now so idk

[vestal shuttle]

doesnt the metro close at 12

[sacred wraith]

i mean i have to take the blue line from DCA tir osslyn

and then transfer tioorange

i dont have any checked bags so idk

[vestal shuttle]

yeah that’s fine

you’re chilling

dca to rosslyn is deadass like 5 minutes

[sacred wraith]

i dont wanna be stranded somewhere in nova at 12am tho

[vestal shuttle]

jts like dca pebtagon arllington rosslyn

[vestal shuttle]

also the metro closing at 12 sucks

boston subway closes later

at lkke 1

[sacred wraith]

my curfew in dc is at 11 so like i legally cant be out by then anyway lmao

[vestal shuttle]

this is so insane to me

that they have a fucking curfew

what the helly

[sacred wraith]

eh for minors ig

[vestal shuttle]

but also you’ll be in nova the whole time

[sacred wraith]

i’ll br 17 until halfway through second senester

[vestal shuttle]

vro i be out and about until like 1 am sometimes

[sacred wraith]

😭 what the latest ive been out is like 11:30 pm

in dc my mom let me roam until like 10 and then i took the metro to maryland for airbnb

[vestal shuttle]

i just walk or sometimes im running

[sacred wraith]

my tour is at 2PM on friday

i hope i dont freeze to desth

it was 50 degrees down here in florida today and i was lowkenuinely dying

[vestal shuttle]

chile

east coast has been having a heat wave this week

[sacred wraith]

not this weekend

on saturday it says the high is 32 or smth

[vestal shuttle]

the high is 36

[sacred wraith]

like wtf.

[vestal shuttle]

yeah that’s warm 💀

for mid january

at least up here in boston the high should be 20

[sacred wraith]

well that’s in boston

[vestal shuttle]

dcs not that much different

[sacred wraith]

its pretty far down there

i have no actual winter jackets 💔

[vestal shuttle]

you don’t need one

just wear a sweatshirt

it foesnt ever get that cold anymore

[sacred wraith]

when i wax in boston in november i was wearing a hoodie and a light jacket and i was still dying

[vestal shuttle]

[sacred wraith]

it was like 25 i think

but also windy and i walked from prudential to beacon hill

[vestal shuttle]

that’s an interesting choice

[sacred wraith]

what

[vestal shuttle]

why would you do that

it’s just buildings

[sacred wraith]

because i’m starved of nice walkable cities and neighborhoods

amd beacon hill is pretty

[vestal shuttle]

fair enough

[sacred wraith]

i also wanted to see acorn street because i’m a dirty tourist

and yes i will be a tourist 1st semester in dc

[vestal shuttle]

i had to look it up

i knew the pictire though

dude i was on beacon hill last month with my friend

and this car with ny plates starts driving the wrong way

wbich is pretty easy to do

but this couple with a stroller rolls up and starts blocking them and yelling which i’m all in favor of but then the car won’t move and then the woman pulls a karen move and calls the police saying that the car bumped her

like what

the correct response to this is clearly to grab your dunkin iced coffee and throw it all over her windshield

[sacred wraith]

is that the boston version of “ey im WOALKIN ‘IA”

[vestal shuttle]

yes

well first you say YOURE GOING THE WRONG FUCKIN WAY KID

TURN AROUND BUDDY

or TURN AROUND ASSHOLE if you’re too nice to call them buddy

[sacred wraith]

whose idea was it to make boston have cars

keep it old fashioned

💔

[vestal shuttle]

we should all clop around on horses

[sacred wraith]

yall take all ts for granted btw 😭 im gonna have a field day in georgetown

[vestal shuttle]

whoa okay photographer

[cosmic egret]

O street is really nice to walk down

go to Wingos on a saturday night at like 1am there will be no one on the roads and everyone's walking

[sacred wraith]

what’s wingos

[chilly skiff]

do not go to wingos above the age of 18

[chilly skiff]

wings & sports bar thats popular and near gtown

[cosmic egret]

it's good for freshman

and for people who've never lived independently / in a large city

like i come from a pretty rural background so going down o street to wingos at like 2 am was a big deal for me 😭 for some people it isn't

[chilly skiff]

that makes sense

[stoic oyster]

Rosslyn erasure

But that target is kinda buns

Smallest one I’ve ever been to

[sacred wraith]

ew rosslyn? isnt that like the harlem of dc 🙄

i don’t wanna go to the ghetto

(sarcastic)

[stoic oyster]

☠️

[vestal shuttle]

isn’t it in virginia too LOL

that’s why they can build skyscrapers

[stoic oyster]

Yes

It’s tuff

And if you’re in goated new south it can be your view

[vestal shuttle]

i want to be in new south just so i can walk more easy to rosslyn

😭

[sacred wraith]

i want new south just for the view icl

i would wake up for every sunrise and watch it

[vestal shuttle]

yess

i’m kinda sad you can’t request

[fresh fern]

genuinely if i get into georgetown i’ll cry tears of joy

[chilly skiff]

why cross a river for target

[vestal shuttle]

i will cry tears of joy for you too

[stoic oyster]

The key bridge is the greatest architectural feat oat

[stoic oyster]

I have a new south Rosslyn view

cus I’m on the first floor so I can see directly into the hfsc LOL

And the sun penetrates through my blinds so it’s hard to sleep in

[chilly skiff]

well...

do no gtown kids just take the bus up to tenley im confused

[stoic oyster]

Tenleytown is scary cus AU is there

Rosslyn is closer though so I don’t know why anyone would go to that Target

[sacred wraith]

safety school taint 💔

[chilly skiff]

rep gtown merch and you wont get confused for one

[chilly skiff]

chick fil a

[stoic oyster]

We have one on campus

[chilly skiff]

oh

BYE

[chilly skiff]

ok but the walk to rosslyn is unpleasant asf

[stoic oyster]

We have shuttles tho

That said weekends the schedule is buns

So on weekends I do use Metrobus a lil more

[chilly skiff]

theres also a new ikea in gtown which i assume is very convenient

[fresh fern]

possibly being hoyas together

[chilly skiff]

although its small

[vestal shuttle]

AU students scare me i went to their MUN once oh jesus 😨

[stoic oyster]

I almost never shop at ikea in general but people say it’s alr

[fresh fern]

the only person i know at AU is kinda offputting

[chilly skiff]

i almost crashed into one on a lime scooter

tbf i was on the sidewalk..

[vestal shuttle]

yeah they’re all trying to be weirder than each other

[fresh fern]

hes on the track team

he’s just idk

[sleek wave]

are first years allowed to park on campus

[sacred wraith]

damn ur bringing a car 😭

[fresh fern]

just google

[cosmic egret]

it does not make a difference

copley is the best dorm and anyone who says differently is either a cockroach worshiper or lives in darnal (or both)

[vestal shuttle]

yeah one sec

you can jump to it

@swift canyon

we talked a lot about cura personalis

we talked a lot about how i could speak chinese

he didnt really grill me

mine was getting an MBA at mit and he was in tech finance so

30 something

im not really sure that gtown ppl are here to grill u

you got it

dude if you want to have any professional life i fear you will HAVE to do interviews

kt is SOOO lowkey

its just a conversation

they just want to learn abt u

i was lowkirkenuinely tweaking the FUCK out and my interviewer was late and i was like oml im going to pass away from anxiety and it was so lowkey it was very chill

45 min exactly

in person

yes but i also live in boston so there’s hella alumni

yeah exactly

you have to do ts

Oh rip

but yeah its good practice

[sacred wraith]

i walked onto campus to head to my tour and i wanted to pull out my phone and commit right then and there 😭

[vestal shuttle]

LMAOO

[sacred wraith]

it’s so freaking pretty wtf

[sacred wraith]

my sort of uncle is a professor at mccourt and he showed me around the new building

and wtf

[modest briar]

that looks like a 3d render wow

[fresh fern]

in my interview, we mainly talked about research (even though i’ve never done any) while she hated on other schools

she asked about my family, my friends, the clubs i’m in, things i actually like to do, why i was considering georgetown, my favorite classes in school, my least favorite classes in school

[dry coral]

Does Georgetown take LOCIs

[vestal shuttle]

AHHHHHH

WE are going there!!!

[bronze ravine]

anything else

any weird questions

wait r the interviews evaluative i forgot

[vestal shuttle]

yes they are

[vestal shuttle]

least favorite class was the only weird one i got

[bronze ravine]

oh shoot

[bronze ravine]

ok hmm

how long was urs

30 minutes ?

[vestal shuttle]

it’s a conversation but it’s also for admissions

[vestal shuttle]

45

[bronze ravine]

are u supposed to prep anything

like questions abt gtown right

[vestal shuttle]

yeah

and also just like why gtown

[bronze ravine]

how much did u prepare

[vestal shuttle]

not much

idr

[fresh fern]

i didn’t prepare at all

she gave me time to think too

i was like just give me a few seconds

mine was 90 minutes bc it ran long bc it was an actual convo

[bronze ravine]

oh nice

[kind glacier]

Mine was 1.5 hours long, and he was a CFO — he was super super nice and, when I joked about being nervous (since my hands were shaking lol 😭), he joked that “it’s okay, I’ll only write something bad about you if you turn out to be an axe-swinging serial killer.” I got in, even with joking about being nervous, and the conversation ended up being really lovely — so don’t worry too much about it!!

[proven lynx]

ack my interview's tomorrow and it's online

[kind glacier]

You’ve got this!! Best of luck!

[proven lynx]

i did a bit of digging on my interviewer 😭 and turns out he's a registered republican, given that and the current political climate is there anything i should avoid talking about? one of my most prominent ecs is a social justice club and ik georgetown has a lot of resources and initiatives for social justice that i want to talk about, i just don't want to leave a bad impression on my interviewer by accident

[vestal shuttle]

what kind of job does he have

[proven lynx]

he did international political economy/minor in history at georgetown and rn he's doing a masters in divinity at bc

[vestal shuttle]

so hes like young

yeah i mean gtown is pretty big on cura personalis

and community service

so its not really that detrimental for you to talk about social justice

[proven lynx]

okok gotcha thank you sm

[fresh fern]

omg 😭

my interviewer was so woke

i tried not to talk ab politics much though

so you should be fine

like i talked ab social justice without mentioning my own beliefs

it should be fine to mention that you want to be careful with the climate etc georgetown will prep u

[proven lynx]

lmaooo that's so cool

[fresh fern]

what’s your intended major

my interviewer tried to talk a lot about what i hoped to do so it might be the same for you

[proven lynx]

yeah obv i'm not going to be like hell yeah abortions and dei, but just mention the type of stuff my club did in my school

[fresh fern]

yeah that’s valid

[proven lynx]

math and sociology

[fresh fern]

that’s fire

are those both in the arts and sciences college

[proven lynx]

i mean the reason i want to do it is to improve disparities in health outcomes/health equity so if georgetown hates that (which they don't (i think)) then it's not the place for me ykwim

[proven lynx]

yeah

wbu what did you apply for?

[fresh fern]

that is super georgetown imo

[fresh fern]

i did sociology and justice and peace studies

my whole app was framed around like youth education in DC and stuff tho

[proven lynx]

ohh that's cool

[proven lynx]

are you from dc?

[fresh fern]

no i’m outside of chicago

[proven lynx]

ahh okay gotcha

[fresh fern]

hopefully the interview goes well for you 🙏 i wouldn’t stress too much, i honestly didn’t prep at all

[proven lynx]

but yeah i've also talked about stuff i want to do either through gtown or other local things in my app

[fresh fern]

she really wanted to hear about things that i did so just knowing how to frame that involvement is the most important thing

[proven lynx]

ahh thank youu

[proven lynx]

okok gotcha

[fresh fern]

and just be yourself but ofc you know that

[proven lynx]

lmaooo facts

[fresh fern]

my interviewer said she had a “few duds before me” bc they felt kinda forced

[proven lynx]

help

that's real though sometimes i think i just say stuff in interview-like situations

[fresh fern]

if your interviewer went to grad school or smth

def ask how the environment was different between the 2

mine went to grad and phd so i was like “what made georgetown different” and it stemmed into a convo

[proven lynx]

ohh okay, yeah i was thinking about doing smth similar like asking how gtown prepared him for grad school

[fresh fern]

ooh yeah

[proven lynx]

interview in 6 minutes and he hasn't sent the zoom link yet 😭

[proven lynx]

okay that went surprisingly well

i think

[fresh fern]

Ayyyy

let’s go

[stoic oyster]

copley community so ahh 😭

i think it's harbin

[vestal shuttle]

is darnall the worst

[sacred wraith]

i will gain at least 50 pounds at leo’s

[stoic oyster]

no you will not

it is more likely you lose 50 pounds

mostly trolling but most of leo's is ahh minus the pasta bar

i prefer epi's

[stoic oyster]

my rankings would be

well idk

harbin / copley
new south / reynolds
darnall

but darnall is not that bad

i like their lobby and they're close to leavey/epi's/st marys

[sacred wraith]

my tour guide said there was knock off panda express chipotle etc

i am a fatass and love most foods even mediocre

😁

[stoic oyster]

true...

i dont like real chipotle let alone knockoff chipotle so i haven't had that

but the knockoff panda express is alright

upstairs and downstairs leo's are very different places

[sacred wraith]

urgh i love panda express

[stoic oyster]

leo's is kinda gimmicky

the knockoff panda express is called 5 spice

they will make your noodle dish in front of you in a big ahh wok

but it takes forever

[sacred wraith]

ok then freshman 35 then

[stoic oyster]

does the campus tour go to the north side of campus

i.e. did they show you epis

[sacred wraith]

the furthest we went was the mcdonough school of business building and ended near the bookstore

[stoic oyster]

oh

so you didnt

just a lil further past the bookstore is the other dining hall

[sacred wraith]

theres another

?

[stoic oyster]

yes

epicurean

but everyone calls it epi's

it's kind of like a real restaurant because they allow hospital workers/patients to buy food there with "real" money

[sacred wraith]

its not included in all acces 7 right

or is it

[stoic oyster]

yes it is

but only 14 swipes a week there

that said it is de facto unlimited soda

because they dont care if you take the plastic cups without paying

[sacred wraith]

shit i’ll make up my tuition through that then

[stoic oyster]

they have an asian noodle bar there too that i feel is much better than leo's 5spice

with fake ramen and fake udon and stuff

and then an american style grill

if you end up coming you'll decide quickly which one you like more

[sonic oak]

best place is jacket

[cosmic egret]

jacket isnt bad

epis is the best on campus

[stoic oyster]

me personally

top 3 are:

1. leo's pasta bar
2. epi's noodle bar
3. leo's mac and cheese (limited time only!)

there's a theme

[fresh fern]

just for pasta or for everything

bc i’m sending a theme

[cosmic egret]

pasta tends to be the best college food indeed

[stoic oyster]

for everything

but i tend to gravitate towards noodle-baed dishes

i think royal jacket is overglazed

buffet at epi's is either elite or the biggest piece of dog shit

[storm comet]

is there a sheet or doc to help with interview prep

[cosmic egret]

#💋-interviews

good luck!

[tardy pumice]

anyone know how easy it is to get those townhouses for housing

and if they’re like super old inside or not

[stoic oyster]

you will not get them until 2029

[stoic oyster]

they are seniors only

but they did renovate them during covid

there are apartment style dorms though for sophomores and juniors though

[tardy pumice]

i knew that but is it still a competitive process for seniors or theres enough for most seniors who want one to get one

[fresh fern]

omfg https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8ftELmG/

[stoic oyster]

I believe most people get what they want

Many seniors live in non university housing too

[sonic oak]

some juniors get them too

not as competitive because we have New Henle and the townhouses kinda suck

that being said you need to sign for your senior house (if you want to live off campus) at the start of your sophomore year

[tardy pumice]

alr, thanks yall

[modest briar]

u got this

rizz em up

[stoic oyster]

Good luck brotato

The interview will only help you

[chilly skiff]

its very chill dw

[fresh fern]

It’s super chill

[rain snow]

ur welcome for not giving you this thumbnail

for the thread

[vestal shuttle]

jack!

[stoic oyster]

bro where was this photo even taken 💀

this is like southwest quad circa 2003

[rain snow]

no clue

[rain snow]

thats one of my dogs names

[vestal shuttle]

it’s also his name

do you happen to own the georgetown bulldog

[rancid latch]

does going to a jesuit high school give a better chance at a jesuit college(ie Boston College, Georgetown, Notre Dame, Fordham)

[vestal shuttle]

not really

[sonic oak]

yes

generally

[vestal shuttle]

ahhhh

did you guys get this

[fresh fern]

that’s tuff

[vestal shuttle]

i did 7 years of mun

i think they might just want me to commit

everyone probably gets sent ts just with whatever ec was their top one

[fresh fern]

i really doubt it

[sonic oak]

yes

super cool and congratulations

we would love to have you in the GIRC-GIRA community

[vestal shuttle]

how hard is it to chair NAIMUN? i’m a little bit burnt out on competition

like do you have to go crazy in a conference before that

but yeah in general i’m super excited for GIRC!

[sonic oak]

you need 0 experience at all to staff NAIMUN

after a year or two as a staff member you can typically chair

you do not need to compete ever

[vestal shuttle]

oh that’s great

yeah that’s been a dream
of mine lowkey

is to chair or staff naimun

[analog bone]

hello gamees

ganers

[graceful sage]

[rare plume]

Curious if anyone resubmitted any of their essays after the application deadline

[fresh fern]

i didn’t

[vestal shuttle]

i didn't

[graceful sage]

I had a dream where i got the 47 cent letter

[vestal shuttle]

@formal dove how was the gym in yates hall

was it always crowded

idk if i should just get a gym membership

[formal dove]

you’ll get everything you need from it that you’ll have at a traditional gym

correct me if i’m wrong but there isnt really a gym in dc that would be empty for most of the time

like do you really want to pay for an equinox membership too

also at least in my experience when ive been, the activity lulls in the morning

theres a lot of cardio machines too in number not in variety btw which sounds obvious but i mean you wont need to worry abt throwing hands to get on one

[stoic oyster]

anecdotally my friends that religiously go to the gym say before 9am ( ☠️ ) and weekends before noon are empty

[analog bone]

manifesting an acceptance

[vestal shuttle]

ok fire

thanks mac and nyc

[analog bone]

hello georgetown peeps

[fresh fern]

1 month until decisions 🤪

[spark stump]

yeah

[sweet rampart]

what day?

[rare plume]

They said by April 1 but no specific date, maybe 26th

[graceful sage]

Georgetown has never came out with ivies

[fresh fern]

maybe march 24 or 26 🤷‍♂️

last year it was wednesday 25th

or tuesday i don’t remember

[analog bone]

its probably on ivy day ir close

[rain snow]

It will likely be the week of ivies but they change their day a lot

Just go through all of https://applyingto.college/decision-calendar/class-of-2029 from 2024 to 2029 if you want historical data

You have to replace the year in each url or use the sidebar of the website

This year is 2030 for context

[fresh fern]

Ugh

i need a decision

i’m deprived

[sacred wraith]

why am i so ungrateful and wanting columbia now georgetown was literally my dream school 💔

[vestal shuttle]

FAHHH

WHY ARE WE TWINS

i think its bcs we didnt think we could get into our dream school

and now we're like

what if we had a new dream school we can get into

[sacred wraith]

nyc was my dream city for a while and then it was dc but now i keep seeing tiktoks

😩

[shut rivet]

i promise you dc is not allat

[sacred wraith]

i spent virtually my entire summer there last year for an internship

and i loved it

and it beats living in the florida panhandle

[vestal shuttle]

holy shit GU college republicans

what the hell

[stoic oyster]

yeah

the university has said they're investigating

and gusa/gucd/other affinity groups want gucr off campus funding

[fresh fern]

why?

[vestal shuttle]

yeah from instagram it looks like a shitshow

[vestal shuttle]

just look up like any GU student association on instagram

and ull see what the GUCR said

[fresh fern]

hmm ok

idk what to look up

[vestal shuttle]

gu college dems

[fresh fern]

[graceful sage]

[stoic oyster]

[fresh fern]

yeah i see it

thats disgusting

[vestal shuttle]

also homophobic comment

so nasty

[fresh fern]

props to the groups for recognizing/standing up to it ig

although most groups would

[ornate mango]

does anybody know specifically what was said?

[ornate mango]

oh jesus

yeah i checked their accnt page and also saw they said "muslims dont belong in america" according to comments

i wonder if there are gay and muslim people in their own club?

[stoic oyster]

WHY are you on fizz bro

[modest briar]

yikes

[sacred wraith]

i was bored one day

and i realized i had a georgetown email set up

[stoic oyster]

Folk

[vestal shuttle]

they’re essentially copycatting the comments of a house member who is being censured for his comments

[analog bone]

they’re so shit

if i go to gu i’ll join the dems

[sacred wraith]

hoya saxa fuck you chicago

[late drift]

[rain bone]

As the days past I literally like Georgetown more and more

I was so worried about applying because I was under the impression Georgetown only super scored SAT and not ACT. But my counselor, who used to work at gtown, said they internally will look at highest subscores across all tests.

[vestal shuttle]

🔥 🔥 🔥

[ornate mango]

day 1 of begging georgetown to accept me

[frosty cape]

I always wonder why does ggt wants to see our past sat scores

[sacred wraith]

they accept a bunch of students who have like 1300s tho so they're not super strict about high scores

not that 1300 is bad

but like

[frosty cape]

so if I got a 1100 on my first try then ended up with a 1500

[vestal shuttle]

georgetown > grinnell frfr

[vestal shuttle]

ehh its just a relic of their old policies

[sacred wraith]

my sats went down from my 2nd to 3rd attempt

if anything progression helps

[vestal shuttle]

yeah i agree

[ornate mango]

HOW DARE YOU

MODS DEMOTE THEM

[vestal shuttle]

lowkey, a 1300, 1400, 1500, 1590 is more impressive to me than just a 1590

[stoic oyster]

from what i remember:

• the breakfast and neighborhood tours were mid (but you got to meet lots of new people)
• the academic panels was kinda interesting (but long)
• the residence hall tours were helpful (they showed actual rooms and it dispelled the myth that we have the worst dorms in america)
• campus activities fair made me realize how pre-professional the campus is

[sacred wraith]

i'm only really planning to go the residence tours and the activities fair

do you remember how the longer day was?

(friday)

[stoic oyster]

[stoic oyster]

• campus tour was the same as the regular one
• the College open house was ok from what I remember but it lowkirk got boring
• welcome reception wasn't memorable
• icebreakers is the first real chance to meet other kids so definitely show up to this
• info sessions depended on your major, the guys at the College were pretty knowledgeable
• faculty showcase you choose a random professor that you sit in a fake class for
• student panel lowkirk also got boring but if you have any questions they answer truthfully
• spotlights you choose a random georgetown administrative office to learn more about
• convocation was awesome they got ed cooley, charles deacon, and the govt department chair to talk to us

[ornate mango]

DAY 2 OF BEGGING MY DREAM COLLEGE GEORGETOWN TO ACCEPT ME

[ornate mango]

day 3 of begging georgetown to accept me

[flat sparrow]

h

any speculation on when georgetown is gonna release

[fresh fern]

possibly march 24

[ornate mango]

I LOVE YOU GEORGETOWN

me and georgetown sitting in a tree

kissing

i really hope it's on the 20th

[ornate mango]

is there a way for me to add the ecs that i wasnt able to mentiond ue to georgetown's 5 ec limit?

will it work if i use the upload materials rn to add more info and say all my ecs

[ornate mango]

update i found a hack and just uploaded my resume that has all updated info and all ecs

i didnt at first but i just did rn

hopefully they get a notification and will see it 😢 i got over half my ecs cut off

[modest briar]

oh fck i never uploaded resume

holy shit cooked

[vestal shuttle]

I didn’t

[rain bone]

You don’t need to upload a resume. Plenty people don’t and they get admitted.

[modest briar]

okay

all my letters touch on different activities too

we'll find out i guess

[fresh fern]

i didn’t either

[stoic oyster]

125 E mentioned 🗣️

[sacred wraith]

took this earlier

😎

[ornate mango]

is it too late if i uploaded my georgetown resume yesterday

cuz my resume had up to 15 activities while i was only able to talk about 5 activities due to georgetown appli capacity restraints

[fresh fern]

oooh

[vestal shuttle]

ts tuff

[vestal shuttle]

yes

itll be seen if you get wl

[analog bone]

that’s my score

[sacred wraith]

exactly so you’ll get accepted

[analog bone]

i feel good about my application

[analog bone]

georgetown PLA

PLS

[ornate mango]

day 4 of begging georgetown to accept me

[analog bone]

day like 1000 of begging georgetown to accept me

[ornate mango]

is it true that the great georgetown is releasing on ivy day?

[modest briar]

rlly 😭

[rain bone]

I think it’ll be on the 24th at 6:00 is my guess

[modest briar]

why

last yr it was march 25th so 2 days before ivy the yr before it was the 27th so one day before ivy and the year before it was the 30th on ivy day

so they js be releasing whenever the fuck

[sacred wraith]

i tried making a little montage with some shots i got yesterday for rd (i have zero experience whatsoever pls dont tear me up) but hope this gives good luck to y’all

https://youtu.be/f245aCgV9Gg?si=zvOFlNw81PpZauNY

[sacred wraith]

[sacred wraith]

[vestal shuttle]

[vestal shuttle]

[shut rivet]

when is regular decision coming out

oh nvm we dont know

still hoping for good news for my deferred friend 😭

[idle sparrow]

2/3 accepted for dc schools. Come on Georgetown complete the streak 😭

[stoic oyster]

Last year the big deacon accidentally revealed the release date at gaap

[vestal shuttle]

onion and i will keep an eye out 🫡🫡🫡

[stoic oyster]

I saw some gaap kids sitting in front of me in micro class today and my friend and I lowkirk pissed them off cus we kept whispering ☠️

[vestal shuttle]

what. isn’t gaap tomorrow

are they doing hsw

[stoic oyster]

Yeah

[vestal shuttle]

i see

u made me panic

[sacred wraith]

how do i get over gw dawg my imposter syndrome just got like 1000x worse

[vestal shuttle]

im on campus rn and im having the same thing

im randomly walking around and this feels like among us or something

[unique shale]

GW puts demonstrated interest as considered on its common data set, its likely they yield protect

dont sweat it

GTowns awesome

[vestal shuttle]

yeah lowkey it is a yield protect

[sacred wraith]

i did research there…

and i got a rec letter from the pi

idk im just at the tidal basin feeling miserable as fuck right now

[vestal shuttle]

lowkey a yield protect then icl

cause like doing research at gw is crazy

[sacred wraith]

that gives me incentive to attend though

[vestal shuttle]

i mean does it really though

[unique shale]

maybe college admissions have a bs definition of demonstrated interest

[sacred wraith]

truth is i’m not just fucking good enough

[vestal shuttle]

i don’t think they could count it as DI

[sacred wraith]

it’s the most obvious answer

[unique shale]

cause ive seen them track shit like visits or clicking on emails

[vestal shuttle]

you got into georgetown early ts has like 1/4 the acceptance rate

[unique shale]

dont say that, ever

[vestal shuttle]

ppl get rejected from like state schools and then get into ivy

maybe ur AO spilled coffee while reading ur app and was in a bad mood so they rejected u

[unique shale]

college admissions in general are never an indication of your worth or potential

[sacred wraith]

final nail in the coffin is bout to be pomona in 3 minutes

[vestal shuttle]

no u got ivies still

u never know

[sacred wraith]

😂

[vestal shuttle]

bro fuck gw

actually

they’re called georgetown rejects for a reason

GW = Georgetown Waitlist University

U deserve Georgetown

[sacred wraith]

so i’m georgetown reject at georgetown

[vestal shuttle]

btw

wtf

[sacred wraith]

[unique shale]

[unique shale]

[sacred wraith]

[rain bone]

[sacred wraith]

[sacred wraith]

[stoic oyster]

The fake ones on campus are but the tidal basin ones aren’t really

Is it true you guys have a catered breakfast in Healy today

If so I’ll be cosplaying as a high schooler and getting good food

[sacred wraith]

it was so mid icl

the muffins at least

[stoic oyster]

Yeah get used to it

When they bring out Georgetown Catering that’s the good stuff

[stoic oyster]

The cherry blossom wrapped buses are on the Wisconsin bus today guys

[sacred wraith]

ts is draining 😭

[vestal shuttle]

it was in hfcs

oh wait no that was the lunch

we met the mccourt dean she was wicked cool

did you hear about the 5 year MPP

[sacred wraith]

dude convocation is so cool

[stoic oyster]

they gave me the stink eye when i tried walking through bru

i was just trying to go outside

[sacred wraith]

i thought i researched a bunch into gtown but damn there’s so much information and atuff

i’m sold ngl

[vestal shuttle]

lowkey same

[vestal shuttle]

do you know dr wisler

she seemed like an interesting character

[stoic oyster]

i saw a group of gaap students at 111 mass

there's no way they sent you guys down there right

[stoic oyster]

i met her once or twice

she does CSJ right

[sacred wraith]

how is everyone gere so talented wtf

[sacred wraith]

that was great @vestal shuttle

[vestal shuttle]

yeah

[vestal shuttle]

[vestal shuttle]

[sacred wraith]

[sacred wraith]

[vestal shuttle]

[sacred wraith]

lol i didn’t know there was a storm

there were 3 different acapella performances at convocation

and like a mexican dance thing

[vestal shuttle]

oh thats fun

[analog bone]

https://tenor.com/view/please7tv-please-beg-pray-hope-gif-3860103425950934673

even if i dont get in i am going to DC so i dont feel like a total failure

@vestal shuttle @sacred wraith brotha the Georgetown website says the releasing results on the first

Usually, it says by the first, but it’s not it says it’s on the first

https://tenor.com/view/anakin-liar-star-wars-lying-gif-8634649

[stoic oyster]

Make sure to check out the all gender Japanese toilet bathroom

It’s incredibly nice

Just incredibly quiet too

[stoic oyster]

It always releases before

[whole flume]

when does georgetown come out

[vestal shuttle]

lmfao what

the dean said everyone complained about the bird sound that maya lin put in

but it sounds nice

[sacred wraith]

the bus back to foggy bottom was like 15 minutes late after my friend and i got dinner 😓

i hope the shuttles are timely

[stoic oyster]

On the fourth floor (and likely every floor too) outside the elevators one of the all gender bathrooms has a Japanese toilet

The elevators in 111 Mass are also really cool you select the floor you want while waiting

[vestal shuttle]

wow

why were you in 111 mass today

gu politics?

[stoic oyster]

Shameless plug but I rode every guts bus and put it on my YouTube which is in my profile ❗

On weekdays the shuttles run generally frequently and adhere to the times (at rosslyn and dupont during rush they lowkirk just randomly show up every 5-10 mins), on weekends it’s pure cheeks and Metrobus typically makes more sense

[stoic oyster]

Nah I went downtown to catch the cherry blossom wrapped Metrorail trainset

And wanted to use the bathroom LOL

[vestal shuttle]

theres a metrobus to foggy bottom that runs on m street that seems decent

68 or something idr

[stoic oyster]

Most GU politics stuff still happens on the hilltop

D80 folk 🥀

Yeah it runs frequent

The walk to Wisconsin is painful in the rain though

[stoic oyster]

like most speaker events, almost all the fellows hours, and random popup things will happen in the gu politics living room in healy basement

[sacred wraith]

d80 was the one that was like 15 mins late

[stoic oyster]

it technically runs every 10 minutes but that's a lie

[sacred wraith]

me and my friend ran back inside to insomnia cookies cuz it was raining and thats where i opened colgate

😭

[stoic oyster]

did you get in?

[sacred wraith]

yeah

not going tho

[stoic oyster]

yay

oh

LOL

[vestal shuttle]

oh interesting

the dean of mccourt made it seem like they had kidnapped gu politics

[stoic oyster]

wisconsin av insomnia cookies

[vestal shuttle]

but the fact that they do election forecasting at 111 mass is so tough

[sacred wraith]

did i miss this part of the talk 😭

[vestal shuttle]

you must have zoned out

[sacred wraith]

dude i was so tired like halfway through the luncheon

i think i talked to too many people superficially and thats why i didn’t really make too many lasting connections

[stoic oyster]

some guy walked in once while my friends were there around midnight and kept saying "put your hands up for the dope rhyme spitter" 💀

[stoic oyster]

DDHQ i believe did stuff at 111 mass last year

[vestal shuttle]

yeah

[stoic oyster]

but gu politics election night watch parties will happen both downtown and on the hilltop

[sacred wraith]

lowkey the parents were more competitive than the kids

😓

some guy was talm bout “will the mccourt program as it expands become more competitive as opportunties are diluted”

like damn

[vestal shuttle]

some guy asked about expanding the JPPP and whether that would dilute the opportunities 😭

ur 50 years old

shut up

[stoic oyster]

LOL

the guy that runs JPPP specifically is a cool dude

[sacred wraith]

the gay guy

hes gay right

[stoic oyster]

what

[sacred wraith]

hes so cool

[stoic oyster]

the black guy?

[sacred wraith]

oh

idk

[vestal shuttle]

oh

[stoic oyster]

bro

[sacred wraith]

some bald gay guy

[vestal shuttle]

we didnt see him

[sacred wraith]

talked

[stoic oyster]

WHO are you talking about

[sacred wraith]

HAHGAA

[vestal shuttle]

he was like the assistant dean of student affairs or something at mccourt

mcknight or something

[sacred wraith]

ooohhhh

[stoic oyster]

anyway in my opinion JPPP leadership aren't focused enough at keeping the students integrated with the rest of the undergrad community

[vestal shuttle]

omg some guy also asked "whats the median salary for jppp graduates"

[sacred wraith]

i forgot abt that 😭

bro just leave atp

[stoic oyster]

im not familiar with him

[sacred wraith]

i feel like they sorta dodged the question there like they just said “yeah theres shuttles so you can go back and forth”

[stoic oyster]

this guy didnt speak at all with you guys?

[sacred wraith]

nope

[stoic oyster]

interesting

[sacred wraith]

maybe we’ll see him tmr

[stoic oyster]

yeah

[sacred wraith]

oh we saw ed cooley

[stoic oyster]

ed cooley is a terrorist

[vestal shuttle]

ed cooley was so funny

[sacred wraith]

btw what’s tall dude’s name again i don’t wanna try to stare at his nametag discreetly again

[vestal shuttle]

the bald guy was decently focused on the improvement they were making on that front imo i think by the time id get there in 28 it will be better since they have their first cohort now

as long as i fw with the ppl in jppp it will be good i think

[vestal shuttle]

brendan

[sacred wraith]

i wanted to join that table but i felt bad leaving my mom so much

[stoic oyster]

yeah

the first cohort only moved in this year and a lot of them were complaining

which i think scared people in my year (including me lol) to switch out

[vestal shuttle]

a bunch of kids from long island talking about bullshit

[stoic oyster]

over time it will grow

[stoic oyster]

LONG ISLAND MENTIONED 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

[sacred wraith]

is everyone at georgetown from long island or new york omg

i met ONE other florida guy.

[stoic oyster]

no

the joke is that half the student population is from jersey

but yeah the northeast corridor in general is a majority of the population here

and of course DMV

[vestal shuttle]

i only met a few ma kids

like 3

[sacred wraith]

idk im kinda scared of some ppl

like the tall guys who look like they major in business

[vestal shuttle]

some of the girls r kinda fake but all the guys seem nice

[vestal shuttle]

the way we walked into that class in MSB and the demographic shifted dramatically from the JPPP students

[sacred wraith]

im ngl i felt so stupid there
