Georgetown C/O 2019 Applicants (2015-2016) Forum

[squirtlesquad14]

Can people who got invited for an interview post their completed dates and their stats? I'm getting super nervous.

169/3.31. I interviewed AWHILE ago (12/23 to be exact), and I still haven't heard anything yet

Same here (interviewed a while ago). My numbers should be pretty solid for Georgetown so I'm a little confused. Maybe our interviewers really hated us .

Did your interviewer give a timeframe for how quickly they would get their eval submitted? I had an alumni interview on 11/30 with a 3.3/169 and was told by my interviewer he would submit it within 24 hours and I got my acceptance a little over 2 weeks after that (I believe it was dated the 15th). So with things slowing down as the cycle progresses, I wouldn't be surprised if it takes 4-6 weeks after your interviewer submits their eval to hear back at this point.

It was before the holidays so I suspect that the interviewer may have been delayed in submitting. Thanks for the data point! I knew I always picked Squirtle for a reason.

The snow storm also skewed timelines for everything in the DC area, they have trouble handling a light dusting of snow, let alone 20-30" of it.

And Squirtle really is the best.

In the G'town spreadsheet, I see an entry for a non-URM who has been accepted with 164 and 3.7 with 2 years work experience. What am I missing?

That applicant? Was JOHN CENA

Maybe they had incredible softs, or wrote a great essay, or had military experience, or it could be any number of things. I don't think those numbers are that far outside the realm of what Georgetown would accept.

I got in with a 3.3 and 169, 2 years out of UG, so those numbers definitely don't seem that out of place for admits this cycle. Though I did have an alumni interview that focused a lot on my softs and my interest in BigFed work, which I'm pretty sure was a big part of my getting accepted.

I'm sure your LSAT score didn't hurt either.....lol

No, but my GPA did. It's all a balancing game...Georgetown seems to be relatively splitter/reverse splitter friendly as far as you aren't too far below 25% on either GPA or LSAT. My softs definitely helped explain my GPA though as I spent a lot of undergrad working outside of the classroom.

This may have been talked about, but if my decision was deferred until 2/26 should I write a LOCI and say Georgetown is my top choice?

Just got WL at Berkeley so I'd really like to get into GULC!

If you were "held" I would probably err on the side of waiting and only write a LOCI if you are waitlisted. If you didn't write one of the optional responses though, you could probably go ahead and write that and see if they will add it to your application before they make a decision at the end of the month.

Just submitted my PILS essay! Anyone else applying?

From what I've seen/heard/read, it seems like Georgetown is more partial to splitters than reverse splitters. That does make perfect sense though, considering schools like UCLA and UT Austin, which are just behind Georgetown in the rankings have 169 as their 75th percentile, while Gtown's is 168. Probably trying to boost that bracket a bit.

I feel like most schools, at least the ones I've applied to, are favoring splitters this year. UT Austin is most certainly favoring splitters (if you check LSN, hardly anybody under the LSAT median is getting in regardless of GPA). Show us reverse splitters some love people! haha

FYI - the number for GULC admissions on the website is not the correct number. This is the correct number: (202) 662-9010

Also, this is the correct email: admis@law.georgetown.edu

Just a heads up. I kept trying to email the wrong address and kept calling the wrong number (which I had found on the website).

[CiscoDisco]

Hey guys,

My SO got an email saying along the lines of "I'm delighted to once again congratulate you on your admissions..." and she got her own login credentials and everything, but she did not get an actual admissions email/letter. This is the only email she has received besides the email with her login. What does this mean?

She ended up getting the letter! She's officially in! Thanks to all.

I called them today on the number listed on the website (202.662.9015) and it worked fine.

Ugh really? Every time I called it said they were unavailable. Maybe it was just the times I was calling.

I wouldn't be surprised, might have been on another line or something.

[bmurp]

I had previously been held, but dinged today. Just an update for anyone else who was held! Probably good news for anyone else who didn't receive an email today!

[lurker816]

Uh, dinged today after being held and sending LOCI. Retaking the LSAT tomorrow. Waitlisted last year with a lower score and generally weaker application. Wtf?

[Jrr13]

Just got rejected. Oh well, was going to retake and reapply next year anyways. Good luck everyone!

[dizzylizzy]

I'm a member of the group of applicants that have been held for the end of February and I was seriously thinking about sending in an optional essay. I didn't include one with my application, and I had to turn down the interview offer because I didn't have transportation, so I'm worried they might be questioning my interest. Does anyone have ANY idea of what people have done for the "fill-in-the-box" option?? I'm a painter in my spare time and was thinking about doing something creative with it.

Someone I talked to at ASW literally made a glass-shaped wine stain and some handwritten-scrawled notes. They want you to use the space in a cool way, so go nuts.
