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

It is never over until it is over. If you’re an anxiety-ridden bean doom scrolling through here, I hope you find whatever it is you’re looking for by stalking my stats and profile o-o

**My generic number one piece of advice is to get applications in as soon as possible. **Obviously don’t rush things to just submit stuff but start as early as you can, plan to hate your first two drafts, and have a friend look your materials over once or twice.

I applied with strong letters of recommendation, average to maybe above average essays, and in February. I worked as a barista for a year and did not have the cycle I hoped for. Going in my top choices were Georgetown, NYU, and Harvard (gotta dream big lmao). In the end, I got into GULC and that’s where I am going!!

How I did it: I first applied to Georgetown February 1st. I got the group interview invite March 5th, interviewed a couple of weeks later, and got my initial WL decision on April 1st (obviously it was an April fools joke). I responded the same day with a LOCI in the form of an email, replying to the decision telling them I would attend immediately if accepted. I attended the WL info session and got a feeler email a week later. I sent in a formal LOCI telling GULC I would attend immediately and providing my career updates. After sending this in I emailed a week later basically saying “I would attend regardless of scholarships as Georgetown is my top choice”. It was radio silence from that feeler for the next month until I finally got the A! Don’t give up, don’t email annoying them every day, and don’t forget to lean on your support systems!
