Georgetown University had a new discussion posted by elmarceleste

What is the average student like at Georgetown?

That's what I've found to be the great thing about Georgetown, there isn't an average student. Granted, most are very bright, very driven individuals who want to make the world a better place, but how they intend to do so is different for each person. Most are a tad preppy, but not to say stuck up, more like put-together.

That is very encouraging, thank you. :) People always talk about the preppiness of Georgetown, but you would say its not a bad thing I am guessing?

I've found it to not be a bad thing. I'd imagine like everywhere else, there are all types of people. The main thing is everyone I've met have been incredibly kind.

Carnegie Mellon University had a new discussion posted by elmarceleste

What is the competition like at Carnegie Mellon? I mean, do people still take the time to get to know each other and have fun as well as study and work? What would you say the average student is like?

Competition is fairly high, but the average student takes time to get to know others. Networking is highly encouraged, from the start.

I just got accepted and am University Honors College eligible. I wanted to know more about what the program is like in general. Also, what is it like living in the freshman honors community? How hard is it to get selected to live in that?

I'm in the same boat & would like to hear the answer to this question as well! Also, elmarceleste aren't you on that Penn feed about early decision too?? I think I recognize your username haha

Yeah that was me! I have an odd username, I know, and I remember you too! Haha small world. Were you rejected or deferred to Penn? The only posts I saw on there afterwords were acceptances. And yeah, I'd love to know more personal information about this program!

I was deferred...I'm guessing you were deferred as well? It looks like we're looking at the same schools! haha (:

I was actually just straight up rejected haha, but ohhhh well. And yeah, it does seem that way! I mean that kind of makes sense, if Penn was our first choice, the other schools we are looking at are probably similar.

Aww I'm sorry to hear that! You'll end up where you're supposed to though! (:

Anyone who goes to Pitt wanna answer the initial question that started this conversation? :P
