[advice]Chance to be removed from Georgetown waiting list?

[danmark]

Yesterday I was informed that I was on the waiting list at Georgetown. IR sub field. Does anyone know how the waiting list works at Georgetown? What is the chance to be removed from the waiting list? Any advice about what I can do now since I have no offers but waiting lists...School visit? Contact professors? Or?? Need help..

PS: If anyone with Georgetown offers plan to decline it, I will be grateful..

Well, I'm comparative but have no idea whether they rank by subfield or not. The admissions officer was very nice but not very forthcoming on the the waiting list, saying roughly that when they know, we'll know. My general feeling would be that there is always a decent chance of getting off the waiting list, because they wouldn't have bothered if there wasn't. However, the results survey shows a lot of people waitlisted for funding at G-town, so not sure if they waitlist a much larger number than other schools (or if they have just done an official waitlist where a lot of other schools just do it unofficially.) But fingers crossed for both of us!!

Are you on the waitlist for admission or the waitlist for funding? If you're on the funding waitlist, you can probably talk to the DGS and get a sense of where you stand. That said, there is often not much movement on the waitlist until closer to the final notification date. If you're on the admissions waitlist, you might be able to have a similar conversation, but I would suspect that it is very unlikely to to move from being on the admission waitlist to accepted with funding.

I am on the waiting list for admission. I know that it seems impossible for me to be accepted with funding. My question is: if I have no funding, do I need to submit the tuition? Is it possible to apply for some external funding?
