Hey guys!
So i have a interview here next week. Im really unsure of what clothes to wear and pack for the weather. I live in an area that rarely gets below like 70 degrees. So, i'm probably more sensitive to the cold than most. The weather in DC next week says about low of 40 High of 65. Do i need long sleeves, boots, and a coat or short sleeves and a thick coat? Its really embarrassing to ask a question that seems like common sense, but idk lol.

For your interview, your suit jacket should keep you warm enough while you're outside. For walking around otherwise, I'd definitely say bring a coat, but it doesn't need to be that thick depending on how sensitive you are to cold.

Does anyone remember how long after your interview you're supposed to hear and on which day the committee releases decisions? Thank you in advance.
 
I was also waitlisted today, and I interviewed on October 13th. I'm sorry if anybody has asked this question before, but does Georgetown release any type of ranking for the waitlist?

Waitlisted post-interview! Interviewed on Oct. 3rd 🙂

Not sure about the waitlist ranking, but I know that Georgetown focuses on waitlisted applicants who communicate with them post-waitlist. So make sure y'all update them on your intent to go and anything else! I just remember them saying applicants who fail to communicate after a waitlist decision are pretty much never accepted. Best of luck!
 
After I was WL I basically sent them a LOI/update on the portal but I know they like you to keep them up to date, and you are allowed 5 submissions. Just curious what each submission should contain? Seems redundant to send them 5 LOIs, and I haven't done much in terms of volunteering etc since I was WL because I work 40+ hours a week as a scribe. Any thoughts on what to write?

For those that have been accepted, how soon after the phone call did you get further correspondence, be it email/portal change/letter, to confirm your acceptance?
