in their "file full" email...its says not to call the admissions office looking for "status checks"

i haven't heard back in a while and really want to call and check, what do you think? cardinal sin or not?
 
what was the "file full" thing? I called Gtown last week and they didn't seem to mind at all that I was checking on my status. even if they're annoyed by having to do so many, I don't think that they'll put a black mark on your application. just call them.

The person who answers the phone would be Georgina. she is very nice but does get very angry when applicants call. I was there when some did call and she was very curt and then went off about them afterwards to me. I doubt it is recorded in your file with a huge X if you call, but still I would highly suggest you don't.

I didn't talk to this Georgina. A guy answered the phone and was quick but very polite. Good luck!

Georgetown and George Washington do respond to e-mails pretty quickly. You can probably e-mail them.
 
i called and got the guy
my file is 'under review' and was complete in 'late october' and the admissions committee will get to these applications right after the 'holidays.'

according to the guy. he said in mid-late jan i should know of a possible interview. hope i get it, really like the school.

Hey, you gave them 100 bucks didn't you? Well, for that kind of money you should be able to them for at least 5 minutes.
 
I heard letters of interest at Georgetown are looked highly upon.....I sent one in and I have an interview, but I dont know if they would have interviewed me without it or not

yah, the same with me. he even transferred me to the admissions director regarding my issue.
i think georgina is the one who answers the phone when you schedule interviews.

and in response to the poster above me: i think you are very right about the letters of interest thingy.
