Thank you! I interviewed on 11/29.
And just incase anyone was wondering, I sent 3 thank you notes immediately after my interview and an update 2 weeks ago (nothing major new T.A position and volunteering).

Does Georgetown reject anyone post interview or basically waitlist everyone that they don't accept ?

I think the common thinking is that 20 get rejected, 20 accepted and 40 waitlisted in each batch of 80.

Rejected. Interviewed mid-december. I'm absolutely crushed, confused, and heartbroken.

My interviewer said nothing but glowing things about me, frequently mentioning how I would be an excellent fit here along with other highly encouraging comments that suggested to me that the interview went as good as it can go. But after all that, I couldn't even manage to place into the waitlist category. This definitely makes me question if theres a red flag in my app that sank me. Really wish I could ask for feedback. Oh well, time to prepare for reapplication.

Your LizzyM seems pretty high, what makes you think you had red flags in your application? Also, how many schools did you apply to?

What makes me think I have red flags is the fact that I had a stellar interview and then ended up with a post-II rejection. The interview portion of the admissions decision was more than likely positive, so when evaluated on my merits (ECs, LORs, essays, etc.), something there did me in. I've heard it's highly unlikely to have had a bad LOR if you're receiving interviews, but the idea is still floating around in my mind. Maybe I didn't convey great fit with the mission statement or willingness to attend if accepted? God knows I would've attended in a heartbeat though. PM me if you want to know about where I applied.

I think applicants with red flags in their applications don't end up with any interviews, it looks like you ended up with three which is a pretty good number!

This may be a stupid question...but if I accept the admissions offer here is it binding? Or can I still wait to hear back from other schools?

I believe (not 100 percent sure!) that you can hold multiple acceptances until end of April!

Anyone know if there is a facebook page for accepted students? Searched this thread but couldn't find it. Thanks!

So... Georgetown is one of my choices. Actually, it's my top choice. But I do have some much more affordable options, so I'm feeling a little torn.

Does anyone have info on what happens on second look day? Is it worth going to? ...and when is it??

Did we ever figure out the answer to this question? I'm waitlisted here but I'm (optimistically) trying to plan second look days. Thanks!

Also waitlisted, also trying to find out the date of second look day! I’ve searched all over the website and from past years it seems like April. Not too helpful, I know. Side note: are you from Chicago (Go Bears)?

Thanks! It does make me feel better to know I'm not the only waitlister that's trying to figure it out.

And no, Cal Bears but I generally take the stance that all bears should go. Go every bear.

Also, I interviewed 10/3

Wow that sounds fun and exclusive. You need a +1?
 
Sorry to write in this but I was wondering if any first year Georgetown students could speak on the new syllabus? For those of us who r waitlisted and may not get a chance to go to second look?

What is your mcat score? And EC’s?

MCAT 515. I had a lot of EC's that demonstrate a commitment to social justice. Probably the biggest one was that I was a Jesuit novice at one point.
