No idea on what it means for acceptances, though.
I'm not sure what the email said specifically, but my LOR writer made it seem very form and non-specific. Hopefully this is a sign that decisions are coming soon.

I just cruised c/o 2016, seems the LOR thank you letters don't correlate with any specific decision...one poster from that year says he got dinged after his recommenders received thank you notes.

Still have my fingers crossed for a letter before the end of the week.

Went through the c/o 2016 thread. Looks like the emails went out around this time in 2012 too. I found some correlations, but not timeline. It also seems to be a very small sample size. From c/o 2016 thread:

After a cursory glance at last year's thread, applicants who were both wait listed and admitted noted their recommenders received thank you notes from Georgetown (sample size: 3, 2 admit 1 wait list). So I think it's safe to say this has no indication of a decision. And the one guy who was wait listed didn't get his decision until February this year. I'd say the letters mean little to nothing.

Blah, the posting I found cited in c/o 2016 cited c/o 2015 info. I'm sure the system could change from year to year, but I don't think there's enough information to determine either way what the email means-- if it means anything at all.

Haha, yes! I have to get in all of my law school app obsessing in before my boss decides to come in somewhere between 12:00 and 3:00.

I don't know that an email indicates whether or not a specific applicant should expect a decision soon. I think it means that decisions in general will be mailed soon. Looks like in previous years the email didn't necessarily indicate acceptance. I'm bummed they took away the dates on the status checker. In previous years that seemed to be accurate of when you should expect a response. Either way, I'll be sure to update when I get my decision.

Appreciate your feedback.
deferred? what is that?

Peta probably means that he/she was rolled over from ED to RD.

no sarcasm! but like grey said, there will probably not be a lot of hating. which means that the hate will be all that more concentrated for the sad losers who tell you 'no, thanks'.

nice job grey!

to everyone: just fyi (from the "what to expect when you're expecting" thread), gtown sends decisions by snail mail, but you can also check the admitted students' website by clicking "no password" and putting in your information. it should allow you to make an account if you've already been admitted.
