Care to give any details? I'm interviewing on 9/18.

Interview is super laid back and straight forward. I was nervous at the beginning of the day, but the admissions people really did a good job of getting you to calm down and be confident about the whole thing. Very good impression overall. Georgetown definitely jumped up on my list.

Yep. There were only 10 of us so we all got to know each other. I highly recommend going to the optional breakfast and lecture before the tour begins. This gave a few of us an opportunity to have easy conversation and get comfortable. The students that interacted with our group directly were all very friendly and the students we saw around campus seemed happy and talkative. A presentation by an admissions representative really sold the school and like AiyaTuc said - Georgetown definitely jumped higher on my list, as well.

This makes me really excited to be there in a few weeks. Hope to see some of you on November 1st!
 
how long is it reasonable to wait before sending a letter of interest? do you ever send one before being offered an interview? really love this school!

To those who have already interviewed-

any good deals on hotels close by? Did anyone use the hotels G'town suggested (with the promos for interviewees)?
 
Rejected too! Complete 7/17. Good luck to the rest of you!!

All teh hotel seemed pretty expensive, I stayed at the Holiday Inn in Rosslyn because its right off of the Blue line Metro coming from DCA (Reagan) airport and the GUTS Shuttle comes there.

Not that I mattered, cause I got on the wrong bus in the morning and had to walk a ways. But took the GUTS shuttle back and it was super easy!
 
How were you all notified of your rejections/did your status change??

Tired of no one responding to this so I just logged in to check... rejection via status page with a letter dated 9/4. I'm sure they'll send out emails as well.

I was notified via email that the ad com came to a decision about my application :scared:. Knew it was downhill from there.

Exactly. Then it tells you to log in. When you go to your status, there is a rejection letter (PDF maybe?) to click on and view.

Ohhh these are my exact stats :/ and I was complete in July. I'm nervous now!!

No worries - there is so much more that goes into the process.

+1 But got a few other II so not terribly disappointed. Good luck to everyone else in the running!

I'm not disappointed in this one particularly, but considering my rejections are already approaching my number of invites, I'm starting to worry! This is especially since I haven't heard good news since 8/22...but have had 3 rejections in the last 8 days.
 
Can someone please post the link for the status page? I accidentally deleted that email! Thanks.
 
Haha got it - thanks!

Mine still says "Application Status: Completed on 7/27/2012" - I guess I'm still in the running for an interview? Not sure why they're keeping me in limbo, strange!
 
Rejected, complete late July! Can't say I wasn't expecting it at this point...
 
Rejected as well! Darn! 3.8/33 complete July 17

3.00s/3.14c/33Q OOS URM. Submitted Date: 7/11/2012 2:40:00 AM EST Application Status: Completed on 7/17/2012 4:04:00 PM. At least I'll save money not traveling for an interview. 😀
 
Is the status everyone is looking at just the one that says "Application Status" on the page that appears immediately after you login?

No there's a link to see your application decision under that if one has been made
 
Can someone post of PM me the link for the post-secondary section where we're supposed to submit the photo. Can't find the damn thing
 
All aboard the rejection gondola.
