What do we wear to the group interview? Is this a suit up occasion, shirt and tie and jacket? shirt and tie, shirt and just jacket? ahhhhh

Suit up

The e-mail they sent out said business casual. I attended one earlier and wore a shirt and tie, the other five guys I saw did the same. I would say a jacket would be a bit much.

Good luck though! Some interesting facts Dean Cornblatt said that he is planning on interviewing 1000 applicants in group interviews this year (in comparison to 700 last year), and that the group interview acceptance rate is higher than the average applicant.

I also heard from a friend in the admissions office that Georgetown has not seen a decrease in admissions numbers this year, for what it's worth.

UCR #2 today

[Cicero76]

Has anyone received scholarship information? Does anyone know when recent admits should expect scholarship information?

This is of interest to me. Maybe we could look in last year's thread?

News about $$$ doesn't come out until February.

What do you mean by admissions numbers? The number of applicants or Georgetown's medians?

[edamame]

So the rule is three completes (i.e. date changes) after the group interview?

Just wondering.

Just got my fourth update today via the status checker. Now the waiting begins

I am an ED and had an interview

[xjustyoursmile]

Thinking of attempting the short video since my application is stuck at the second review (which I'm trying to remain calm and unsuperstitious about). I know this has been asked before, but I haven't seen it answered--has anyone tried the video this cycle or cycles past?

Yeah, I think a TLSer named Elle tried it a few years back. It got her into Harvard.

I just realized what you're referring to!!

Awesome. )

What is the consensus on being invited to a group interview vs individual?

Is there a trend either way?

[LexLeon]

Anyone going to the City on December 28th?

PM me.

[bzzingbee]

Got an email yesterday about interviewing. I assume I won't hear from the interviewer until after the holidays. How badly will this hurt my chances, since it will certainly delay the application review?

has anyone with a 3rd update on 12/17 received anything via usps? it looks like a couple people with 3rd updates on 12/17 got dinged or waitlisted. i haven't heard anything, so i'm hoping to receive a letter soon!

[pedestrian]

If they tweak your address on your third update, that means you are getting an acceptance letter, right?

NO ONE TELL ME OTHERWISE

ABSOLUTELY!!!!

[bellagio]

Finally made an account! Has anyone had their final update on 12/10 with nothing afterwards?

[danitt]

If your getting dinged, the dean wont show up in person to do it, right?

Not unless they have a sick, sick sense of humour.

Sorry, I was trolling to add a little levity. I giggle every time someone asks if you could get dinged via phone call or via FedEx overnight package...thought I'd take it to the logical extreme.

Will they give me a stipend to defray my travel expenses for DSW?

It seems that merit scholarship offers started coming out around March 1st... and only a handful at that.

I'm envisioning a giggling Dean Cornblatt torturing applicants via acceptance letters on the end of a fishing rod, then rejecting them after a few tries.

Acceptance Letter today third update 12/10.

AA URM/Non-trad 162/3.92

Congrats! Snail-mail I'm guessing?

Is ~10+ days an unusual amount of time to wait to hear back about an alumni interview? Got my third update a while back and it was followed by an interview request (which I obviously said yes to) but I haven't heard a thing since.

Does this warrant a follow-up email or phone call or is this normal?

That is about how long it took for me, and my interviewer contacted me the day that he heard from Georgetown.
