Graduate School Admission Results

International student. Crap undergrad GPA. Grades all over the place - even had a retake. No GRE. Yikes! I'm posting lots of information here so professionals with similar experience don't hesitate to apply. I almost skipped Georgetown because I thought I couldn't make the cut. Extensive 8+ years work experience in private sector and projects with international orgs. Extremely invested in the profession. Lots of media appearances, talks in conferences, and similar experiences. I knew exactly why I want to go into the program. I think I wrote a very strong SoP and PoS as well. References were great. 1 Professor and 2 Professional.

Ignore interview. Nothing from GU. Is it IR?

A very pessimistic sounding waitlist letter...

Notified that all invitations had already been sent out upon inquiring about application status.

Waitlisted. Is it realistic to still hope for it?

Email to check portal.

Email informing me I have been placed on the waitlist at GU

Applied for Applied Linguistics. 3 national, 1 international book chapters. 5 articles (1 AHCI, 2 ERIC). Check portal. Rejected by being said there are more than 10.000 applications to the grad school, and wishing the best for my future career. I was expecting this.

Official results will be sent out "this week" (maybe that means in the next 7 days as opposed to tomorrow). I emailed coordinator directly because I realized there was a problem with my transcripts, and he gave me an appreciated. unofficial notice. BTW -- all my replies get marked as spam for whatever reason, so I probably won't be able to respond to you if you comment.

No GRE and one incomplete on my transcript. Great references and work experience

MA in Global International and Comparative History (MAGIC program)

Got an email to check the portal. Subfields: syntax & language acquisition.

Full tuition + 35K & 29K Scholarship each semester + 17k fellowship each semester. Tuition and stipend for 5 consecutive years. While other lower ranked programs rejecting me, this one is in.

Ignore the waitlist; anyone hear from Georgetown recently? I have seen few people posted their results in early February but that's it. I am still waiting. Is this a good news or bad news?

LOL
