Sounds like Georgetown gains it's geographic diversity from international. Therefore it is basically a regional school with a lot of students from abroad. Kind of like Georgetown Prep!! |
They have representation from all 50 states. They’re the 9th most geographically diverse university. But sure. Let’s go with your description. |
Ivy League average is 12%. So Georgetown almost 50% higher. Now, I realize the Ivy League a much higher level of school, but for schools in the 20-50 range, I think 17% is even higher than the peer group. |
I’m a Notre Dame graduate. Just the other day there was a GT versus ND thread and we don’t need another one. That’s not what this post is about.
I also have been posting on this thread that I don’t place much stock in lengthy posts bashing any school that the poster’s kid hasn’t actually been accepted to. OP’s original post didn’t just talk about the bad impression that he and his student got from the campus tour - it added a lengthy diatribe bashing the school more generally. You have to wonder why they toured the school at all. Very odd. |
OP, tell us why you care so much about Georgetown, such as to create frequent OPs on the subject - all of which quickly and illogically veer into nothing that your primary OP addresses.
|
Georgetown is also not a common app school. Which I doubt you knew because neither you nor your child bothered applying there. |
+1 Thank you. Well said. OP does not make sense. |
THIS. BRAVO. |
Much higher level of school? lol ok. |
we all know this. and they still ask for a picture!!! so insane. but still, doesn't impact how many intl students they accept |
Moreover, SFS at least requires additional essays. The fact that the acceptance rate is as low as it is is a testament to how desirable of a school Georgetown is. |
You don’t get it, so let me spell it out for you. Their acceptance rate will naturally be higher because kids can’t just throw the Common App at them. The fact that they still have only a 13-15% acceptance rate is very impressive. |
technically 21-50 range. |
what app it uses doesn't impact how many intl kids there are.
|
I can't think of a top 20 school that doesn't require at least two extra essays. |
