Georgetown is not finished (contacting)!
well i found out today for sure that i did not get accepted.... so they are finished with me... lol
-
Ok well its a wrap for me folks.. thanks everyone for your support and keeping me sane through this process.. Rlayla you rock and good luck at whatever grad school you decide to attend.
mmmmuwah to everyone -
A miracle happened to me. Sort of. I thought I was totally out at my last school, since my friend heard via e-mail, whereas I didn't. I am, however, IN at my last school!
Problem now: No funding, yet. *gulp*
Hope the rest of you have miracles, too!
wow congrats... wooohoo
i'm still waiting on georgetown.. does anyone know if they accept people via postal mail....and just email those they accept.
-
nothing from georgetown today... :?
-
well i called Georgetown... and was told by the grad coordinator that not all acceptance notification are done by email and all decisions have been made.. :| .. i don't know what to think anymore..
-
Does anyone know if Georgetown is done accepting people? i would greatly appreciate it if anyone has any inside info to share.
Thanks
-
Sorry to hear it, fenderpete... Take comfort in the fact that you're not alone. A lot of us aren't happy about how this season has worked out.
Sorry fender... don't worry you are in good company...mmmuwah
-
OMG thanks everyone for the kind words and support..i thought that other poster was being mean; but you know what? at this point i'm not up for a debate... but i really appreciate everyone's support... mmmmmmuwah

Thanks zoberg and enantiomorph !!!

Plenty of people have high scores and a good CV. Plenty of people have a chance. Doesn't mean you don't need some safety schools.
I'm definitely sending you all the best and hope you get in, but I think that even the best candidates are wise to cast a wider net.
fair enough...
-
Maybe you shouldn't have applied to such high tier universities? Don't want to be mean but you don't really have a right to complain unless you've bothered applying to "safeties" and have been rejected by even those.
:roll: excuse me but i didn't apply blindly.... considering my experience, GRE scores and talking with advisors, i thought i had a chance...

become an overly paid lobbyist in Washington D.C.. (lmao)
-
Is that you?...
-
awww thanks rlayla
-
Yup - posted on Results board and on the last page of this topic. Princeton is my last chance, and tbh I've already started applying to internships and am on the verge of rebooking a GRE test slot.
Rejected here also... my last hope is Georgetown, hopefully they admit some more people around the 20th as they did two years ago... :roll:

I'm right there with all of you. I'm in the midst of what I think is the biggest depression of my life. I don't think I can look forwards to ever doing something like this again. I can't bring myself to write up my resume though; the defeat is near but so far away yet (or so I hope!). I don't know what my chances are right now but I am so hoping I get in somewhere.
*Shudder*
ugh welcome to my world :?
-
i can't figure out georgetown... the last couple of years they notified around mid-march...are they just notifying early this year?
-
I'm in the same boat, although not quite as impressive of a pedigree as you. Good GRE's, non HYP Ivy BA with a double major in PoliSci and Philosophy,Great LOR's from the top philosophers and political theorists here, I got chosen as an undergrad to be a TA for a class in the PoliSci Dept., have been a Research Assistant for a prof in PoliSci, 3.7 undergrad GPA (i came out of Freshman year with a 3.3 but then did well after that), with 3.9 major GPA in PoliSci, and still no love from anywhere. That's right...no acceptances. I guess my SOP must have been really awful or something. It's pretty disheartening to be honest. I'll give it a go again next year I guess, unless Northwestern pulls through for me...i doubt it though.
geezes i thought it was just me wondering what it takes to get accepted.Graduated with honors from a private well known university, Masters from an ivy league school, LOR from well known professors, two who actually got their PhD from two of the schools i applied to, currently teaching (adjunct) at a private university, research assistant and worked at a think tank in D.C. strong quant. skills, i don't get? i feel like i had a better chance getting accepted somewhere straight out of college with no experience.
-
anyone heard any news from georgetown? acceptance or rejections?
-
im not sure whats the deal with georgetown.. i called yesterday because i needed to know ASAP what my decision was because i have a job offer i need to accept or decline this week. i explained this to them and was told that all decisions will be made by the end of this week.
--- i think someone else should call and ask whats up?
-
hmmm i don't know what to think... seems like they are done :roll:
-
so its a wrap for the rest of us who haven't heard from Georgetown? :?:
-
From your lips to God's ears, my friend. But I'm not feeling too bad about it, been assuming rejections were on the way since I applied, basically.
I think the most difficult thing at the moment is the idea that I'll have to go tell girlfriend/family/friends about it. I hate the 'disappointed sympathy' look. And I dislike trotting out the "it's a tough year to apply" line like it's an excuse.
If we did this stuff in a vacuum or a bubble with no-one else's expectations to satisfy the whole thing would be a total breeze.
God i know that feeling... at this point i'm avoiding advisor's and anyone else who might ask "hey, you heard from any of the schools yet" ugh i hate that feeling...
---my last hope is georgetown
