Anyone know how the scholarships are here, hope to get accepted but the tuition seems unreal

From the info sesh they made sure to say that there was no merit-based anything, only financial aid unfortunately D :

Also got an A off the WL!! Interviewed on 9/4, WL on 12/7 and sent a fat letter of interest the same day

Can I ask you what topics you focused on? I submitted an update literally the day before getting waitlisted lol so I have no additional ones, but was wondering how exactly to craft a letter just for interest. thank uuu

 

[salmon boy]

That’s awesome! How long was ur letter? Wondering abt the length bc i know they give us a decent amount of word space. Thanks!

Mine was about 300 words!

 

[intriguingcritter]

Mine was about 300 words!

Thank you! I just submitted mine. When I clicked submit, nothing really changed - hoping that was the case for everyone else who submitted these. The submit button was still blue after .

Is there an admitted students GC?

 

[bonesaw420]

[premed123321]

Is there an admitted students GC?

I'd also be interested in an accepted student's group

This might be a dumb question, but when you submit your post-waitlist letter of interest, does your text box page still look the same and it allows you to edit the text even after you press submit?

Yeah it was the same for me, nothing changed. I lowkey pressed it more than twice so hopefully its fine lol!

I interviewed on 1/10 does it make sense to send an update letter about an abstract and poster presentation + oral presentation that I will be doing

Update once they are all done

 

[medschoolfailure12]

once what is done?

 

[pedneuro6894]

You said the presentations you will* be doing, update once you have actually done them. Has your abstract been submitted yet?

 

[medschoolfailure12]

My abstract has been submitted. The presentation is at the end of March so I feel like the committee will have already reviewed my application by then?

Okay that def changes things. It could warrant an update, and Georgetown is really friendly of updates, so I don't see a problem with submitting one.

 

[randomusername614]

Where in the portal can updates be submitted? I can't find the tab. I assume "Post Submission" but my portal says "Sorry - the post submission form is now closed." Can I no longer submit updates? That seems odd being that it is only the middle of December, but I could be wrong

Same thing happened to me

is georgetown generous with financial aid?

 

[pedneuro6894]

is georgetown generous with financial aid?

No. They don’t offer any merit based aid and are quite limited in need-based. It even says it on their website

 

[LeafyGreeen]

Do you guys know when the majority of the waitlist movement will happen? I've been on the waitlist since 12/07/24. J curious!

 

[solarflare1230]

Can someone explain the post-II timeline? I interviewed mid November and am wondering when we are supposed to hear back

 

[hungryhippos]

they send decisions chronologically and they just sent out mid to late october interview decisions

 

[flowerplant2000]

hey, just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on when to best sent out an update letter/letter of interest post interview? maybe in a general sense? and if georgetown is a bit different, is there a different timeline to follow? from what ive seen, they like to see students interest

 

[roadtomd1]

When are we thinking the next round of decisions/ waitlist decisions coming out? It's been relatively quiet here for a while.

This might be a dumb question but I’m just making sure- I already filled out FAFSA and the questionnaire for GUSOM but i’m looking at CSS and realizing i’m not going to qualify for need based aid i don’t think. If I just don’t submit it I’m still eligible for any merit scholarship in theory (I know they don’t really have any) and loans and everything correct?? It seems like a huge hassle to do CSS for probably no reason

Georgetown doesn’t do merit based aid. I would do the CSS if you can, you never know what will happen

fair enough! but if i didn’t in theory i am still able to get normal federal loans and stuff from fafsa right

Advice on post-interview pre-decision update letters and letters of interest or intent? I know Georgetown likes to receive these letters, but I am feeling somewhat lost in regards to the timeline. I personally thought letters made more sense and would be more effective when sent if waitlisted. Would not sending a letter while waiting to hear back hurt me in any way, or vice versa? Can a letter with meaningful updates at this point in time possibly turn a R into a WL or A, or a WL to an A?

They accept letters of interest/update post-interview and pre-decision. They don't accept letters of intent pre-decision.

I'm not sure about the rest. Probably sending it sooner than later is good? It takes them roughly 3 months to review applications post-interview.

 

[babaganoosh?]

How do you know they don’t accept letters of intent pre-decision?

Aw congrats! Did you get a call or an email? I'm surprised they released decisions late in the day. Also did you send any post-II letters?

 

[golden_retriever_fan]

does Georgetown require we update documents on IDOC? I dont see it listed.

 

[Hitman964]

I don't think Georgetown requires that we upload documents to IDOC. A few other schools may so they need you to upload those documents and it'll say which schools on your portal.
