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

[Confusedlawkid]

what's the consensus on being complete for a month and not receiving an interview request?...or anything actually...

In the same boat. Just repeat to yourself: "No news is good news" and then drink a lot.

I've been complete since mid December with no requests for interviews or any communication. No news means alternating between checking the ASW and your email every few hours instead of paying attention in class. Of course the occasional drink never hurt anyone

Got my acceptance letter in the mail today. Still no change to my status checker or email. Either way, I'm excited. The letter they send is super aesthetically pleasing.

Questions: Did you try logging onto the ASW before getting your letter? If so, when was the first time you were able to get on? When was your letter dated, and when did you apply (and interview if you did)?

Sorry for the barrage of questions - maintaining sanity in limbo

No worries. Acceptance letter was dated the 2/22. Received it in the mail today (2/25). I did try accessing admitted students a few days ago. Haven't been able to successfully log in, even though I was accepted. Applied 11/25, complete 11/26, interview request 1/15, interview 2/11. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Wow! Thank you!! Yeah one more - when were you first able to generate login credentials for the ASW (even if they didn't work)? As in, when were you first able to request a password?

Does anyone have a feel for what scores/GPA are interviewing? I applied a month ago, sliiiiiightly above 75th on both according to their website. Should I expect to interview before I hear anything back?

This process is exhausting. I need a drink

I was asked to interview, but was unable to because of obligations at work. I wonder how this will affect my chances?

[ProductofUnreality]

Just got the alumni interview invite.

In general, schools interview three kinds of applicants: borderline applicants who have weak numbers but could save themselves with a great interview, scholarship candidates, and flight risks who have great numbers and will probably get into better schools (last two groups obviously overlap quite a bit). Some schools want everyone to interview, but it seems like those three groups are the big ones.

ETA: way above both 75ths and did an alumni interview

The conventional wisdom seems to be that there is no definitive rhyme and reason to interview requests as people who are above both 75ths have been asked. As well, it seems interviews are heavily based on geography. Many people have gotten in after interviews and after not being invited to interviews.

I'm sorry if this is a really stupid question, but did those of you with interview invites get them via email/status checker? Has GULC contacted you by phone for any reason?

I got mine via email just now.

Only phone call I've gotten this cycle was from Penn. IIRC, they email you about the alumni program and then you fill out a web form accepting or declining an interview. Then they find an alumnus in your area and that person emails you directly. You find a time and send your interviewer your resume, then you fill out a second web form to tell GULC the date of the interview. Finally, I suppose the interviewer sends a report to GULC.

I was able to request a password for the first time this past Monday, 2/22, which, unbeknownst to me at the time, happens to be the date that my acceptance letter was sent.

I also was unable to interview because of obligations at work and received my acceptance letter last night (2/25). If anything, not attending the interview might make your wait time a bit longer, but I think if you have a legit enough reason to not attend and seem genuinely interested in the school, they won't hold it against you. If it helps, I was asked to interview 1/27.

[shineoncrazydiamond]

Thanks everyone, and congrats as appropriate!

[OtterLaw]

Received an alumni interview request via email a few minutes ago. I will be interested to see if they find someone here in the Seattle area.

ETA: Complete 1/27. Reverse splitter.

Well that is a bit of relief I suppose. I was asked mid-February, so it sounds like I still have some time to wait.

Anyone group-interviewing in DC next week?

So for anyone who interviewed from 2/12-2/15 with no answer yet, we're now past the two-week mark for hearing back on the ASW. How are you all doing?

[UpstateXO]

Got the letter today!! My app was originally held in January with a promise of a final decision no later than Feb. 26. No update on the status checker. So unexpected and so excited!!!
