Georgetown Wait-List 2015-2016 (Class of 2019) Forum

That feeling when you get the GULC wait-list video message from the Dean and you feel your soul slowly withering away because you have to keep waiting..

I don't understand why they sent that, lol. It is almost exactly what the email said.

Can we send a video message response back?

Was this video for the preferred or regular waitlist?

I'm on the preferred and received no such correspondence

[redrose_2121]

I just got it! Also on preferred. Maybe they're sending them out in batches.

I'm on the regular and neither have I. I wonder what determined who got a video and who didn't (and why they sent a video in the first place - never heard of that before).

Edit: Nvm got the email. Interesting indeed

Regular waitlist here. What an odd, yet kinda cool in a way, manner to contact us.

[WaitWaitDontSay]

New poll idea. Who got the video and what list were you on.

[Anonnonnon]

Are people planning on briefly responding to the email?

Are they coming in small waves; or if we have yet to receive one, should we not continue to refresh our emails.............? Jw.....

[vhopeful88]

How many people think the class is actually full? (I don't, lol)

Skeptical too, but they may be waiting for Harvard to officially start pulling as decisions trickle down, so that they have a better sense.
Any update on the FB numbers? Last check had a lot of openings. Also, the one admissions officer had mentioned they were looking at 40 spots originally and I can't imagine based off reported WL->A that they filled all 40. So I'm with you, but also don't want to get my hopes up if I'm wrong.

Exactly. Knowing that forums like this exist, I am not sure why they say the class is full when it really isn't. However, I agree. Once Harvard and others start pulling from the waitlist we should see some movement.

[redrose_2121]

Does Harvard start pulling from their waiting list on a certain day? Or do we just know that they haven't started yet?

FB is up to 512, so a lot of people definitely have been added (I think it was in there 460s a week or two ago). Maybe someone just wasn't approving people for a long time or something.

If they released people on the reg waitlist this early, I have a feeling it may actually be pretty full (or more so than we want to think). I don't remember from going to the earlier waitlist threads, but I don't remember reading that people were released this early...

While trying to stay upbeat, just remember that the fb group also includes incoming transfer students and is for all admitted (and not necessarily attending) students.

Keep looking up people! Especially us reg waitlisters

Just did a quick glance at the Harvard Wait-List thread and they sent out invites for a first round of WL interviews on May 18th/19th. So there will be movement shortly, but not until after those interviews.

[Law2511]

Actually, since Gtown is at the bottom of the t14, we are in a decent position. There hasn't been a whole lot of movement off of many of the t10 waitlists. When there is, there should be quite a few spots open at Gtown.

Did anyone else get a call asking about your continued interest? I received a call today from Georgetown. No offer, they were just wanting to gauge my interest.
