For those of you that did get into Georgetown, may I ask your stats?

Haha, thank you for your kind words. It is a shame that C's in Electrical Engineering and Thermodynamics -required Academy courses- might have kept me from Georgetown (especially since I earned As in the two courses they recommend: Micro and Macro). I am sure, though, that there were other service academy grads and/or veterans that applied and had much better grades. As long as you beat out other applicants in your field, I am sure that you will be fine. As for me, I am already excited about enrolling in classes at GW. As always, good luck.

2.85 GPA (obvious weak point) from the Naval Academy. Everything else was strong: (3.7+ in major) 790Q/730V 2.5 years in Japan working with US Navy 7th Fleet 1 year in Iraq doing counter-IED operations (awarded Bronze Star) Currently work in both the Pentagon and White House Excellent Recommendations SOP vetted by multiple people Applied and was rejected for Spring '10. I asked Tiffany what I could do to improve my application. She told me to keep everything (SOP included) as is as they loved every part of my application except for my grades. She then said to submit a GRE (I was unable to take it the first time around as I was deployed to Iraq) and that she would get me in. Based on her advice, I took GRE, scored 1520, and reapplied. It looks like it wasn't enough. Good luck to the rest of you guys! Perhaps we will see eachother at a policy forum in DC.

I was the one who posted the rejection. I live in DC, so perhaps the letter had a shorter delivery time than yours. I did get into the similar program at GW and am waiting to hear on Hopkins. Do you guys mind me asking you your stats?

I know Elliott said that they wouldn't post results until Monday (as per their e-mail), but the security program posted theirs as of about an hour ago. Good luck to everybody!
