CaptainBlood '23–'24 app cycle Class of 2027 class year

I would recommend writing a ‘Why X’ essay for schools you are very interested in, particularly if you are below median (see my WL offers). The only exception here for me is W&M.

William & Mary - Wrote Why X. WL on 2/21, invited to interview for admission on 2/29. They were straightforward about most admissions off the waitlist not happening until ~the second week of April. Sent LOCI on 3/8

Georgetown - Wrote Top 10 Books I read in 2023. Interviewed on 3/17, went about 10 minutes over time, received the “exceptional group” comment + dean andy’s personal email. sent a ‘thank you’ to dean andy on 3/21. Accepted 10 days later, on 3/27 (my group was told 3-4 weeks, ymmv).

GWU - Hold on 2/27, Accepted on 3/19 with scholarship offer same day.

NDLS - Appealed scholarship offer using UMN and GW, denied.
