Holy shit Georgetown,

You take the cake for the most thoughtless, insincere rejection of the year. I gave you 80 bucks and this is the best you can do?

Dear Mr Chico:

After careful consideration of your file, unfortunately, the Committee on Admissions is unable to approve your application for admission to the Law Center for the Fall of 2010.

Last year, we received almost 12,000 applications for the 575 places available in our first year class, and each year the quality of our applicant pool continues to increase. Consequently, the Committee must make the difficult decision of turning down many well-qualified candidates who have the potential for success in a law program.
We appreciate your interest in Georgetown and wish you success in attaining your academic goals.

Sincerely,

Andrew P. Cornblatt
Dean of Admissions
Associate Vice President for Graduate Admission

My status is now under review 4/2/10 ...even though it is currently 3/31...anyone else?

I guess they are planning to review it on Friday

[taw856]

Holy shit Georgetown

What was wrong with that letter? Said it was difficult to turn down well-qualified applicants. Wished you luck in your future.

I mean, when the answer's no, they can only polish a turd so much.

(Btw, just got the same ding here.)

"the Committee must make the difficult decision of turning down many well-qualified candidates who have the potential for success in a law program."

They say well qualified for success in "a law program". Meaning well qualified, just not well qualified for our program.

I also just got back to the office from a long day at the office and got my ding email. I knew it was coming, but it still sucks. God it really really sucks. Sorry everyone. Looks like HayZeus was the only one with our DR that escaped?

[heyzeus]

well fuck. I guess it takes time for an email to get from d.c. to the south. Just got it but it was timed 138 that just blows a big dick. Oh hey you escaped the slaughter today...NOT! says georgetown. Still waiting for duke to get my hopes up as well why cant these law schools just auto ding why do this. Also suing georgetown for lost wages Hahaha

[lunu]

i'm so sorry for everyone who was dinged today. i know i've been pretty negative about how throughly they've gone over our applications but.. you know.. i bet they're being completely honest with you when they say it was a tough choice. there's a reason why you applied to GTOWN (its because you're awesome) you will make great lawyers one day and you will do great things at whatever law school you end up going to.

now, it seems like the a lot of the FT/PT's are still around. do we want to start a tally of those left standing? or are we all just bracing for another round of dings?

(if we're tallying again - i'm still in... UR 3/09 then 3/29, LSAT 164, GPA<3.5, FT/PT, URM)

[taw856]

They say well qualified for success in "a law program". Meaning well qualified, just not well qualified for our program.

They also don't say that the dingee was well-qualified.

Meh. I think I'd be more upset if they said I was fully qualified but they were dinging me anyway.

I know it's been hard for me to get the rejections or waitlists because it feels personal even though it might not be....but my numbers are def not an auto admit for Georgetown and Dean Cornblatt wrote a really nice personal note on my acceptance letter so he seemed like a nice guy to me

[MissLucky]

hey, for those on the wait list - for additionally letters of rec - how should the recommender send them? to LSAC just like with the original letters of rec or does GT have a specific protocal for after the wait list? thanks!

[pollaclc]

anyone who's left, add to this!

UR 2/17 (and some time in like early january i think?) 167/3.4

i'm still in... UR 3/09 then 3/29, LSAT 164, GPA<3.5, FT/PT, URM)

[hoyasaxon]

[FunkyJD]

hey guys,

The Caboose of the T13 status check just updated; application complete: 4/1 and decision rendered: 4/1....

+.1, I just went from 3/29 UR to DR 4/1.

I'm going to blow up my hotmail today. If they can't send me an e-mail, they can't ding me, right?
