Georgetown c/o 2017 Applicants Thread (2013-2014) Forum

[Frozinite]

I'm considering declining the interview. I feel like my probability of going to Georgetown is very close to 0, even though it would be my highest ranked school by a little so far (UCLA is 17). I really want to/need to/should stay in California for family reasons. The dilemma!

I mean either withdraw you're app or do the interview. Don't see any point in the middle ground.

This. I mean the least you could do is interview for the experience? If it's an alum, maybe they will buy you a coffee?

Good point, it would be good interview experience.

Placed on the waitlist today. Couldn't make the interview because I was seeing my wife for the first time in a month. So fuck them if that earns me a waitlist.

17x/3.9x. Withdrawn.

WL. the streak is over! had a horrible interview, imo. my interviewer also gave me a VERY bad impression of the school/himself, but i tried not to let it bother me too much. in any case, will be withdrawing. good luck everyone else!

Sorry to hear that. Best of luck. Don't let them get you down.

[NotASpecialSnowflake]

Preferred Waitlist. Ugh. Really bad cycle for me.

[SparkyZZZ]

Regular WL today. Oh well, at least I don't need to worry about dealing with that crazy DC cost of living on top of tuition. Good luck everybody!

[CookieDough]

Preferred WL. Meh.

[BentleyLittle]

Reg WL

[NotASpecialSnowflake]

Does anyone know the chances of getting off this Preferred Waitlist? It seems late for this to me. ugh.

[SparkyZZZ]

Reg WL

Looks like I might see you at ND amigo...

Indeed! Making plans for ASW as we speak.

The odds are 100% if you withdraw

J/K
I actually feel like you have a good shot off of the preferred WL. Write a solid LOCI, and I think the odds are in your favor.

[Question Everything]

Does anyone have any insight into the likelihood of a part-time program applicant getting off the Preferred Waitlist? My assumption is that this is probably harder than for full-time applicants because there are fewer slots, Georgetown has the best part-time program, and the individuals that applied part-time probably already live in DC and wouldn't be likely to not attend after being accepted. I'm feeling desperate here.

Do I have any hope of getting of the Preferred Waitlist as a part-timer??

[SparkyZZZ]

Hmm, looking at LSN and a TON of people were waitlisted today. It might be harder to get in off of the WL this cycle than I originally thought.

[controo]

Preferred Waitlist today. 3.9x/173-175. I declined a group interview earlier in the cycle.

I will be withdrawing.

[calle_25]

Joining the preferred waitlist crowd. Submitted 1/22, UR1 2/6, decision today. LSAT and GPA between 25th and median, URM. Will be withdrawing.

Best of luck to all of you still in the game!
