Georgetown Waitlist 2013
So georgetown is my ultimate first choice and I'm depressed to be on the regular waitlist after hearing about this preferred/special-preferred business. Anyone else out there??? Anyone heard of people getting in off the regular-old waitlist? I'm hoping the best for us waitlisters!

I know some folks have gotten in late off the regular waitlist (and of course there are people that get in off the preferred and special-preferred lists too) last cycle, so there's hope.zz888 wrote:So georgetown is my ultimate first choice and I'm depressed to be on the regular waitlist after hearing about this preferred/special-preferred business.

GULC was my first choice, but got put on preferred waitlist. Given the kerfuffle with scholarships (or lack thereof) to already-accepted students, I'm not optimistic about getting any money even if I get in off the waitlist, and the prospect of paying sticker anywhere is extremely discouraging. I'm daydreaming of them desperately trying to shore up their LSAT median in May/June and offering me money along with an acceptance, but I'm beginning to make plans elsewhere.

Glad to know there are some people getting in off the regular waitlist! Maybe the lack of scholarships from GULC this year will cause them to have to pull more from the WL. Best of luck!

Hi! I'm on the preferred WL for the P/T program. Are you sending in LOCIs now or waiting until around May when they said they would reach out to gauge interest?

Also, I have an impending deposit deadline on April 1. Should I send them an LOCI regarding this or just an update?cowabunga85 wrote:Hi! I'm on the preferred WL for the P/T program. Are you sending in LOCIs now or waiting until around May when they said they would reach out to gauge interest?

Re: Georgetown Waitlist 2013
I'll throw my hat into the ring too. Got the "preferred" waitlist email last week. Seems at least anecdotally that Georgetown utilizes their waitlist much more than other schools. Here's to hoping...

Re: Georgetown Waitlist 2013
It's been about a month since I got waitlisted...
I guess I should write another LOCI, except I have nothing new to say
Really tempted to re-send my original LOCI... or the second one lol

Re: Georgetown Waitlist 2013
I was put on the preferred waitlist about a month ago, it was a reach for me to begin with so I'm happy (but getting in would've been nice too). I'm planning on sending a LOCI around mid-april since I'll have put down a deposit somewhere by then.

Just got asked to do a group interview with Dean Cornblatt. Can anyone shed light on what to expect?

Re: Georgetown Waitlist 2013
Thanks! As far as I can tell it means acceptance, but I'm trying to restrain my excitement in case this doesn't hold true. I asked for an expedited decision due to upcoming scholarship deposit deadlines, so I thought that would result in an expedited rejection.RetakeFrenzy wrote:That means you are in, right?

I looked through last year's waitlist thread and if that USA update is any indication, then you will get an email saying something like "we cannot tell you you are in, because we don't email acceptances, but you will be able to log in to admitted student website"

does status date changing to 3/18 mean anything?

Was it after you got waitlisted? I guess it could be a good thing. I think it means they are looking at your file again....perfectheight411 wrote:does status date changing to 3/18 mean anything?

Re: Georgetown Waitlist 2013
April 1 was the deposit date for scholarship people, and there's no sign of any WL movement since then. They must've gotten a good yield on that date.
Based on last year's thread, people began receiving emails from GULC around this time basically asking them to update level of interest so that the admissions committee could render some decisions between May 1 and May 11th.

Re: Georgetown Waitlist 2013
I was put on some kind of preferred waitlist and withdrew. Good luck to all.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
