I'm still waiting for another 20 or so schools, so I feel like this wasn't too long of a wait.
How long have you been waiting for George's response??

Actually never mind - got pre-II rejection today an hour later after I posted here. lol
II just now. Complete in mid August. Does anyone who's interviewed know if you can change your interview date online once you select it? Not sure what days I work next semester just yet.
how swag is that triple-pronged steth tho
So Gtown is expensive but absolutely in love with the program. Any idea on how easy it is to get financial assistance/ scholarships?
What is the general feel of the student community at Georgetown? Do students tend to be more collaborative, or is the class pretty competitive?
For those that have heard back post-interview around how long did it take? Just curious

Between 6-10 weeksHow long post-interviews do decisions typically come out? My paper notes have them saying 6-8 weeks, but then my computer generic notes says 8-10 weeks. I don't really remember which actually came from the admissions office.

Yes, just got the email
I'm sorry to hear that. =/Yes, just got the email
Just got the W.
Interviewed 10/17.
Anybody know the numbers on how many get waitlisted?
11/3I'm sorry to hear that. =/
When did you interview?
Hi all, I was just wondering if they stratify the waitlist. Did everyone on the waitlist get this message or did some people get a notification of a competitive applicant pool?
Yup I got the same thing.
"The Committee on Admissions has recently evaluated your application, and is impressed with your candidacy. Although we are unable to offer you an acceptance at this time, we are pleased to offer you a place on the wait list for further consideration."
Thanks!
You should wait to see if you're WL'ed. If you get accept/rejected, then you won't have to do it anyways.Hey guys!!
So I interviewed here a couple weeks ago & now I'm just waiting the 8-10 weeks to hear back from them. I already sent in my thank-you note the day after interviewing but I'm thinking of sending another letter of interest/thank you just to stress how much I enjoyed the interview day and what I love about GU specifically.
I thought my interview went really well but it was honestly pretty conversational and my interviewer interrupted me several times when I was giving my answers so I couldn't really give a complete answer.. Don't get me wrong, I still think it was a great interview and it became more of a conversation than a Q&A session, which I liked. But I'm worried I didn't get the chance to clearly express what I specifically liked about the school and how much I felt a good fit. So I'm hoping this LOI/update will help clarify that.
I know GU likes to hear from waitlisted applicants but because the committee hasn't met about my application yet, I wanted to know what the best course of action for me right now is.
Any advice would be great, thanks!!

I'd definitely draft the letter while it's on your mind, or if you have an update, you can kill two birds with one stone.

I am also applying this cycle, so I have no real insider information on this, but I wanted to share my thoughts and also ask others.
From what I have read and heard, the "thing to do" is to wait until you get waitlisted to send a letter of intent. I guess the idea being that A. You have had time to think about which school is best for you. B. It is unlikely that a letter of intent will sway them from rejecting you over to accepting you.
While I can understand both of those reasons to wait (someone correct me if they aren't the reasons plwase), I actually see it kind of differently. If you have multiple acceptances already, and you have taken sufficient time since your interviews to think about which school is the best fit, and you have real reasons why you think so, I don't see why it isn't actually STRONGER to send one before getting waitlisted (other than maybe doing it when you didn't have to--if you were going to get accepted anyway). My reason is that if you are sending it before you have a decision from them, they may be less likely to think you are only sending it in because you are desperate and need an acceptance at the end of the cycle. This is all assuming you have taken sufficient time to really think about what makes this school the best fit.
I'm not speaking specifically about GU with this by the way, just general thoughts.
Oh okay my bad. I say go for it if you've got something real and genuine to say about the school and you being a good fit which it sounds like you do.Thanks for the reply/thoughts! I meant letter of interest*** I definitely think a letter of intent would be a little excessive at this point because of the reasons you mentioned (it being too soon etc...). I just wanted a chance to clearly communicate my interest before they made a final decision. I just know GU is really into hearing why applicants like their school/why applicants feel like they would be a good fit and encourages letters of interest from those who are waitlisted.
Congratulations!Accepted just now via phone call (voicemail) !!! So happy!
