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

Able to request password on asw!!!!! Freaking out. Serious reverse splitter. LSAT<25%, GPA >>75%

I am too, but the username/password combo isn't working. Is yours?

If you can generate the credentials, you are in. It can take several days for them to actually become valid to login. I was able to generate credentials on a Monday (when they mail out letters) got my letter on Wednesday, and was able to long-in for the first time either Tuesday night or Wednesday morning.

Did they send you an acceptance email the day you were able to generate credentials, or did it come later? Basically I'm wondering if I shouldn't be expecting an acceptance email from them if I can't generate credentials yet.

I was able to log-in today, and my letter was dated last Thursday, so it takes a few days (I couldn't log-in yesterday).

Georgetown doesn't send acceptance emails. It comes via mail. If you can't generate credentials, a decision hasn't been rendered yet (dings and WLs have come via email in the past).

Ok thanks! That's good to know.

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!

Sorry about the ding! Would you mind telling us when you got held originally?

I was held of November 6th! Good Luck

Hi everyone!(:
I had a few questions,
1) is it okay if ED is taking longer than 3 weeks right now? Getting super anxious.
2) is it safe to assume that GT tends to send acceptances on mondays ( so that is when Asw typically becomes available) and rejections/waitlists/defferments on fridays?
And all kind of around 5 pm?
^ that all just scares me because I am afraid since I was unable to log in yesterday, there is still nothing in the mail for me and thus I will be rejected on friday.

My acceptance letter was postmarked on a Thursday, so it definitely varies. (Although, I wasn't ED.)

It takes longer than 3 weeks. Start checking your mailbox around week 5.

Finally (presumably) in via ASW! Alumni interview was before the holidays. Hope that helps anyone still waiting.

I'm sure this was asked before, is the interview a pre-req for admission or have people gotten in without it?

You can get in without it!

It seems like the people who have gotten interviews tend to be splitters/borderline applicants to get a better idea of the person beyond the numbers, and high number applicants to gauge their interest in the school. It also has a lot to do with where you are -- I'm pretty sure Andy tries to do group interviews with as many people as possible (either if you are within a day trip of DC or he is on campus visiting near you) but they don't have control over what cities they have alumni willing to do interviews as well.

Do you guys think getting an email from the director of admissions is a good sign?

What's in the email? Andy is very much more vocally involved than other Deans.

GULC sent my recommender a thank you email. my recommender thought it was a good sign, but I think its just a generic thank you with no significance. anyone else get one?

If you go back in the thread, it seems pretty common. Not sure if everyone gets it and not everyone's recommenders let them know, or if they only send it to certain recommenders. But not really a sign one way or the other.

Same thing happened to me. I'm assuming it's just a generic response because it reads like one.

My recommender got a thank you email and I got in. My friend's recommender got a thank you email and she got dinged. So yeah, seems to be a generic response

any idea on what to wear at the interview? thinking about just a suit with a coat instead of a suit jacket.

[Leagles5161]

Applied ED back in September. Deferred to RD in November. Nothing but crickets since. Anyone else on this same boat?

any idea on what to wear at the interview? thinking about just a suit with a coat instead of a suit jacket.

I had a group interview on campus last week, and the email said to dress business casual. I played it safe and wore a suit, but hardly anyone else did. I think what you described should be just fine.

Most people actually wore suits in my interview. So basically wear what you're comfortable with. I erred on the formal side, and it worked out well for me!

Interviewing with an alumni this week. What questions are generally asked? Any other tips are also appreciated

Does anyone know when scholarship info will be released, or if it already has?

They haven't given a firm timeline, but based on history some folks might start hearing end of February, most of the decisions going out in March.
