I know GULC asks applicants "not" to request interviews. But as an international applicant (from the middle east), I know they will not invite me for an interview even if they wanted to.

Would it be a good idea to send an email expressing my interest in traveling to DC to interview if they wanted me to interview? Or would this be the same as "requesting" an interview?

I think it would be the same thing as requesting an interview.

Also being an international applicant does not mean they will not invite you for an interview. You can do a phone or Skype interview as well - I doubt they ask anyone outside of D.C. to interview there. I did a phone interview myself.

What part of the Middle East are you in? I live in Qatar and I received an interview invitation this morning.

Checking in. Finally sent in my app to GULC.

Finally got into ASW website!!! I am a reverse splitter( LSAT 25% to median, GPA >75%). Complete around 12/4. Good luck to everyone who is still waiting!

Has anyone else been able to have their ASW username and password sent to them, but then have the website consider that to be an invalid combination? Keeps happening to me. Have not received anything in the mail yet, so got super excited when it generated log in info for me.

Edit: Went back more carefully through this thread. Verdict seems to be that I should be "cautiously optimistic?" Hopefully it'll work in a few days!

Yes! Same thing happening here.

Happened to me too but I was eventually able to log in - I think the fact that you can generate it is good news and if you keep checking it will work soon.

Applied today after bump in Dec score. My first choice now, so hopefully I can get in. Congrats to those accepted!

What are the rejection/waitlist/acceptance numbers for those who group interview? Does a group interview bode well for your chances?

Does anyone have information about the alumni interview? I've already gone through this thread and couldn't find too much about the questions that were asked.

I'm between 25% and 50% for LSAT and at 75% for GPA, so the interview isn't for YP purposes.

Mine was really informal. My interviewer was super nice. Why law school? A few questions about my resume. And mostly just laid back chatting. I asked a few questions. My interviewer gave me helpful advice.

Don't stress.

Ditto for me. Be sure to have your 'why gulc' down though.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how much applying ED to Georgetown would help to boost the application? I know there's some article out there that claims applying ED hurts you, but I really don't buy that.

(I know sticker at Georgetown is pricey. My grandparents are footing the bill.)

If you're an LSAT > 75th splitter, there's a boost. If not, there's no boost.

I'm not a splitter. I don't understand the reasoning behind that though. Wouldn't they want to secure applicants early on that they can count on for paying full tuition? Is Georgetown really wealthy enough as a school that they don't need to worry about that? I always thought that the ED applicants are helping to provide scholarship money for the higher scorers.

Given the data on splitters getting a sizable ED bump while the overall ED applicant pool is less successful than the RD applicant pool, I'd guess that people applying ED to GULC are just, on average, significantly weaker applicants than those applying RD and any sort of ED bump Georgetown provides isn't enough to counteract that. This seems to make some sense intuitively as those with marginal T14 prospects at best might be inclined to throw a hail mary ED app Georgetown's way. Anyway, I'm just speculating but I can't think of any other rational explanation for the discrepancy.

That crossed my mind as well but the Spivey article mentions that he controlled for LSAT score and GPA.

[pamphleteer]

Huh, then I have no idea.
