Should the "Why Georgetown" essay be single or double spaced?
I did 1.5 because either of those options looked obnoxious to me

Depends how much you have to write. I did mine single spaced because it was already over 1.5 pages haha.Should the "Why Georgetown" essay be single or double spaced?
How in the world is yours that long? I am really struggling to get mine to even be a page.Depends how much you have to write. I did mine single spaced because it was already over 1.5 pages haha.
I really, really like Georgetown and their mission.How in the world is yours that long? I am really struggling to get mine to even be a page.
I love both of those too! Good luck!The more I read about this school, the more I like it. Esp. the Mind-Body Medicine classes/ Health Justice Scholar Track. Good luck to everyone applying!
Same! Good luck! Hopefully the wait won't be too long!Just submitted! Now the wait begins
Same as last year's prompts.

Just noticed there is a mistake in the secondaries posted in this topic!!! The PDF you have to upload needs to be ONE page, not 1-2. Sucks because I already wrote a long one
@WedgeDawg
I thought so too! There was even a big discussion about that on this thread ! That would be terrible cause I submitted sometime back ..Wth? I remember it said 1-2 pages in the secondary when I submitted it.... I guess submitting early was not a good idea lol

Yes I can swear that it said 1-2 pages , I am pretty sure that they changed the prompt. They may have done that to limit the length for the people submitting from here on. Not sure if that's ok to do..Hopping on the nope train, because my essay was also 1.5 pages and I submitted it the same day I got it.
Georgetown, let me love you, goodness.

But I am planning to call them in the morning and tell them about it and I would strongly urge everyone who has already submitted a longer essay to call them and let them know that the earlier prompt was longer ... So that we are not penalized for it
The reason I said more people should call is that it will make it more credible. The chances of disregarding a single call or complaint is more than that of multiple calls. Atleast if there were a handful of phone calls they will probably send out an official email. I will try calling in any case. I think it's good to let them know that more people are concerned about this.I specifically remember it saying 1-2 pages. Luckily I only wrote one page (felt like I was able to express it all in just a page) but I would have gone on longer if I felt it necessary. None of y'all are crazy.
Also, let's let one spokesperson call them. No need to overwhelm their office with 50 people calling about whether their essay was too long.

In that case someone could test the waters and if disregarded, then we can have multiple callers.
Eh... eh? I'm digging my idea.

Sounds good , am at work , will try calling when I get a chance and let you know.Agreed with the above. I see the point @ishiningstar. Let's have you call first and if you feel like it's not taken too seriously or something of the like, post back and a few more of us can call.
Jumping on this bandwagon a little late! Mine definitely said 1-2 pages when I submitted as well!! I will call too if necessary once we hear back from @ishiningstar!Sounds good , am at work , will try calling when I get a chance and let you know.
Ok guys good news ! I called and even before I completed my question , the lady said "don't worry about the downsizing, it was a recent change and nobody will be penalized " . LolSounds good , am at work , will try calling when I get a chance and let you know.

For the guys - Anyone of you wear a tie for your photo? I took mines without a tie, wearing a button up, clean shaved. Already submitted, but I'm having second thoughts as to whether or not it's too much on the informal side. Thoughts?
