Georgetown Waitlist 2012 Forum

radio silence on my end.

and it seems my prediction of a june 3/4 response was a complete fail

reaaallly starting to feel a certain way about this...

Your prediction failed because the admissions office was closed june 3/4.
My prediction for you is june 7/8.

woo! optimism partially restored. thanks for that.

and yes, hah, june 3 is clearly a sunday.

My Andy email said the 5th which is when they sent out a feeler call yesterday. No USA or anything like that though. I'm nervous that not answering the call made me miss my chance.

+1 forreals.

are most folks riding it out all summer? i think i'm quitting after june 11. too much mental anguish already this cycle to still be undecided at that point.

[camillefisch]

Has anyone heard back? I was all settled and happy with BU. Now I feel like I'm slowly dying.

Me too. I am moving to NYC this month.

[nellie_bly]

I'll be riding it all the way. *fingers crossed I won't have to wait that long*

Have ya'll checked out the Georgetown Waitlist forum thread from last year's cycle? It pretty much looks like we don't stand a chance. From the timeline of last year, it appears many emails were sent out, continuing to string applicants along with a sliver of hope, only to find out in late July/early August that you officially are NOT accepted. Which they could have told you a lot sooner, and saved you the mental anguish we are all feeling. There are even posts of the email text that was used last year - and even though they change up the wording slightly, the point is basically the same. I hope this isn't too much of a downer - but I figured ya'll might want to know too.

While I want to ride it out, as a practical matter I'm going to have to concede sometime soon. I've been accepted at another school already and am in the midst of trying to find housing with two other people. If we're going to get cheap housing, we need to commit to a place soon. Once I do that, though, there's no way that I'll be able to go to GULC, even if I do get off of the waitlist.

I've just been hoping that GULC would show some movement. Frankly, I'm at the point that I'd be content even if they sent me an email telling me that I've been rejected: I hate hanging in limbo, putting off plans until I know for certain whether or not I still stand a chance of getting a seat at Georgetown.

[Law4889]

Anyone get an email yet?

[goldeneye]

Not yet. They could be waiting until 5pm to break our hearts, though. Still hoping though.

[Law4889]

Just got it from Andy

[Jimi Thing]

Got the email.

"The response to our second deposit deadline last week was very strong and we ended up admitting only a very few students. At this point in the season, our class is full. It is still possible that some spaces may open up in the next few weeks. If they do, we will of course be in touch as soon as possible with an update. But, in any event, we expect to be able to provide you with another update by June 25th"

[goldeneye]

Did everyone get on from Andy, or others?

[camillefisch]

In!!

[ricsllscir]

Just got an email from Alison asking if I was still interested...hopethis is good news

[nellie_bly]

Uh oh... I haven't gotten anything... but I was just admitted to GW off the waitlist.

[illy22]

just got the dreaded wait-but-you're-still-in-a-special-group-email.

blergh.

I hope this email finds you well and enjoying summer. I’m writing today to once again update you on Georgetown’s wait list situation.

The response to our second deposit deadline last week was very strong and we ended up admitting only a very few students. You continue to be part of a group to whom we will turn should any spaces become available. We promise to continue to update you with news as we closely watch the class. It is possible that our updates could just be to tell you there’s nothing new to report. But, we do want to keep communicating with you to let you know what’s happening on our end just the same. We promise you a much more definitive answer by June 25th at the latest.

As always, I thank you for your patience and interest in Georgetown, and wish you a terrific summer.

Best,

Andy

How did they notify you? Still no email for me here.

Just got this too. It sucks, but I was terrified I was out of the running. I will definitely be in DC so I will even wait it out until the first day classes. Don't you see how much I love you GULC?!

Correction: I just got the email that illy22 quoted above. Bitterly disappointed, and somewhat disgusted.
