Waitlisted from Georgetown
Just got waitlisted from Georgetown. Putting my deposit at my state school right now. Anyone know what my chances are? Anything I can do to help my chances? Is making the waitlist an accomplishment? I had a strong spring semester and got an internship Im really proud of this summer with very minimal nepo. The letter says they accepted 75 of 2700 applicants for fall 2026.
Here’s an excerpt from my letter:
Although you have not been selected for admission, the Committee would like to offer you a place on our waiting list.
“This waiting list will offer you consideration for fall 2026 admission, spring 2027 admission, or both if you wish. The University will welcome a cohort of transfer students to campus in January 2027, most of whom will be selected from this waiting list. You can find additional information about waiting list options for fall 2026 and/or spring 2027”
Happened on May 21st.
Thank you to everyone on this thread for the help throughout the process.
