From what I have heard GT has the prestige factor... Which when two schools are as closely ranked at GT and GWU it's a big factor.
GW sent me a similar letter, no funding, but I made it in. UofMaryland offered me a great funding package (at the end I'd pay $1,000 and living expenses to go there), but they were my backup school...
Georgetown sent me my email acceptance on the 13th of Feb...and then emailed me a few days ago, earlier today their scholarship committee met and they needed an additional essay from me to gauge my "interest" in Georgetown to see if I'd qualify from that.
Anyone know whats up with that?
I was honestly surprised I made it in there... I have an immense amount of internship experience, but no work experience which they stressed quite a bit.
Still waiting on responses from UChicago, UCLA and UMichigan (where I did my undergrad:) )... hopefully they will come soon... Georgetown was my 2nd choice though, so if I can pull funding I'll be very happy to go there.
