So today I got rejected from Georgetown, they were my first choice, I really wanted to go there, so I’m pretty bummed. So I jokingly told a friend I’m going on a bender tonight. Said friend showed up at the door an hour or so ago holding A BEER IN HIS HAND. Of course, I was out mini-golfing (I’m really rusty after the offseason) and cheating on Passover, so my mom answered and he ran back to his car and sped off. I came back and opened the door, picking up a jacket so my other friend and I could go back out, when my mom answered the door.
So I’m grounded for tonight, at least, even though I told my mom it was just a joke. To make things worse, my sister’s having a sleepover so I’ve got six of her ugly and annoying sophomore friends running around the house, making certain activities impossible. Tonight was going to be fun, but Georgetown ruined it. So fuck you, Georgetown.

Hey, BKB, I went to Villanova…I think something in our student creed dictates that we’re not allowed to like Georgetown in any way. I’ll join you in waiving a colossal finger at the heart of Washington.
Res, my dad went to 'Nova and I have one of those “Friends Don’t Let Friends Go To Georgetown” shirts from back in the day. I think the bookstore still sells them.
Of course, here at Syracuse we don’t think much of them either. Granted this works with any school, but after all the basketball games the members chant “What time is it?” “It’s —” “And Georgetown still sucks!”
Don’t feel lonely, BKB, I got rejected from Georgetown today, too. This is actually the second time, since I applied there early and got deferred. But in the last month I realized that I really didn’t want to go there anymore. The kicker was during an interview, when I asked the guy what kind of performing arts they had and he said “Oh, we do some performances…in the Church. And we’re thinking of building a performing arts center…”
Add to that the fact that I want to study journalism, and Georgetown doesn’t have a major for it.
So kiss my ass, Georgetown. But kiss BigKahunaBurger’s first, since you ruined his night. (Six sophomore girls? <shudder> Good luck, man.)
I as well got rejected from Georgetown today… My new goal is to go to another college, become rich and famous, and say something about how Georgetown had a chance to take me, but passed on it…:rolleyes:
I would have applied at Georgetown, but I decided that I was too cheap to pay the $60 application fee. I’ll give the law school a shot in about 5 years. Besides, I didn’t want to have to move to D.C. this early anyways, I’ll probably spend the rest of my life there. That’s why I gave James Madison a shot. Much smaller college, but still strong in my intended field of study. International Relations.
So yes, fuck. Fuck Georgetown. Fuck the John Walsh school of Foreign Service, I didn’t want to go there anyways…:mad:
Well, they do have a good English major, which is all I was really looking for when I started applying. But that slowly graduated into a search for liberal arts, and then that turned into journalism. So, I guess I grew out of my desire to go to Georgetown. They, of course, never had a desire to have me there in the first place. The bastards.
Sorry Jester , but at least you didn’t want to go there. So it’s okay. As for how I knew? Well…let’s just say that…I hoya-d it through the grape vine. (Yes, I know you’ve heard the pun, but it was just so good, I had to post it and share it with the world.)
Oh, and BigKahunaBurger , I’m sorry about your loss, too, but that’s okay, because I’m sure you don’t need G-town. Let it be there loss.
BKB Georgetwon sucks, you didn’t really want to go there. They’re parties are really lame, they finish at midnight. What you could do though (and what many have done, specifically because they got rejected from Georgetown) is come to George Washington. Most people think they’re the same school anyhow. And if you can’t get into GW apply to American or Howard. From there it’s places like George Mason, which at least still has a “George” in its name.
Oh and most of the girls at Gtown are unattractive. And the ones that are attractive are what some might call prude or they’re engaged to be married as soon as they finish law school.
As for the grounding your friend really needs to learn to call first or something.
Jester: There is a lot of performing arts on campus, including the oldest theater group in the United States (Mask & Bauble) but it’s not particularly well-supported or funded by the University. For example, in every musical I saw during my time there, 1/2 the cast couldn’t act and the other 1/2 couldn’t sing. The theater space is tiny and awful. The English dept. is great and there are a lot of opportunities to write on school papers. But there is no journalism major or professional support for budding journalists, so you are truly probably better off somewhere with a journalism program.
Some other things to make y’all feel better about not going to Georgetown:
Seriously shocking student loans.
A student body incapable of having sex unless completely drunk.
No condoms on campus.
Expensive everything - food, housing, clothing, and entertainment.
Isolation in a whitey-white neighborhood full of obnoxious, vindictive rich people.
Dean Pirtle.
See, don’t you feel better now? Rejection sucks and I feel for you. I’m sure some vastly inferior school will accept you all, and you, smart people that you are, will rise above those circumstances and do great things with your lives.

(Let’s have a little reunion this weekend, SuaSponte. You bring the maps, I’ll bring the crayons.)
G’town Law class of '04 here. One of my professors is the head of the admissions committee for the Law School. For the upcoming class of 400 some-odd students, we received eleven thousand applications. There is no way to pick the 400 ‘best’ students from that pool – thousands of equally qualified students will have to be turned away. Good luck wherever you go!
