[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, I went to Georgetown back in the mid 90s and I still live in the area. I attended for free because one of my parents was faculty but I didn't enjoy it. I appreciated graduating with a respectable degree and doing so gratis, but it is not what I would have picked at all. My DS is a senior this year and we did the tour last fall mostly out of it being close by and convenient. It isn't for him either and doubtful he'd get in anyway (1300/3.9, white, athlete), but yesterday they sent us an email basically begging us to apply and iterated several times that the class of 2028 still has several spots open.

So my question is- have they slipped so much that they need to beg kids to apply? Is this some legacy email deal? Is their AO so sloppy that they send this out to any prospect that have an email for?

He's not going to apply, but I can see this being very misleading for the kids that are interested in the school.[/quote]

I don’t have an answer for you but I went to Wake Forest and I received a similar email urging me to encourage my daughter to apply - and she never even toured or expressed any other interest in the school. [/quote]
