Yeah, I guess that makes sense. You may have withdrawn just in time because I just received a rejection email, first one of the season! Luckily, I have received 3 IIs before that rejection, so the blow to my already low self-esteem is not as large hahah but this will be my last post here considering I am now rejected. I hope you rock your 6 interviews 🙂
Good luck to everyone else too 🙂 I hope you all destroy your interviews!

Was anyone who was complete in mid July rejected in this wave? Not sure if still hanging on or just haven't gotten the axe yet.......
Wondering the same... Complete early/mid July (7/12).. Don't know if it's a good sign or we're just in the next batch of rejections to come.. 🙁

Sorry to hear, when were you complete?
Late June. Lizzy M 76-78.
Did they send you an email about the rejection? I still have not heard anything.
Yeah they did.
Just received my first rejection a minute ago via email from here! Oh well, onwards and upwards!

When did you submit?
Rejected too and oddly not sad about it, so wasn't meant to be! Adios... best of luck to everyone else!

And there it is! Rejected :/
All these rejections seem to be to people who were complete early July. Anyone complete mid to late July get a rejection yet?

7/12. I can almost feel GT glaring at me, ready to pull the trigger. It's coming soon.

Just went back to last year's thread...it looks like they sent out rejections for a few days and then IIs right after that....so I guess just try to stay calm, hope for the best, and just.keep.swimming.
That little green check... So menacing.

Yield protection, my friend.
Hey I see this is your third cycle. I just want to say best of luck to you, I can't even imagine doing this process more than once. May your perseverance be rewarded.
thank you! last few years have been literally sweat and tears, but if you really want something, you'll find a way...especially in this kind of process where there's no real formula and everything's a guessing game. I wish you the best of luck as well!
Complete mid-July *nail-biting ensues* they're coming for me.
I got the "Secondary Application Received", "Secondary Application Complete", and "Notification of Payment" emails at the same time. This was all immediately after submitting.
Does anyone know how many secondary applications Georgetown sends out in relation to how many overall applications they receive?
they don't screen - so to all applicants
I was complete 7/27. Do we have a lot longer to wait?

Man this has got me nervous! I was complete shortly after that and I'm worried I'm next! Did you find out yesterday as well?
Sorry dude. I assume the guillotine will be dropped on me tomorrow. complete 7/22
If I go to the portal's Status tab, it's got green check marks next to "Application Submitted," "Fee Paid Status," and "Letters of References." But next to "Application Complete" it's got a red exclamation mark and says "Application not yet complete." I'm assuming they need to process the secondary? I'm really confused.
No, I found out today
Actually I wanted to offer you more than just good luck. If you want, you can PM me a little about yourself, your stats/ECs, and a school list. This is what trips a lot of applicants is picking the correct schools for their application. Not trying to brag whatsoever, but I view myself as very adept at doing this (look at my signature). Let me know if you want the help, it's yours.
That's so weird. I'd give them a call if you've waited for a few days now. It almost sounds like your app broke the website LOL
From what it looks like, I'll also be getting the axe tomorrow/soon as well. People complete around me have already received IIs (according to this thread) and I've been "under review" for more than a month now. Oh well. I really liked Georgetown but life goes on.
What a strange feeling it is to wait for the axe to drop... 🤔 Georgetown is one of my top choices for sure, show me some loooooove!
You know, if we just cover our eyes and bury our heads maybe they won't notice us and we'll end up magically waitlisted.
