Completely different school.


And isn't that a good thing?


Depends on what the kid wants. Georgetown is unparalleled for its connections into DC. If that’s what a kid is looking to do, career-wise, Georgetown is the best.

Notre Dame is more your typical strong school with storied sports legacy.


NP. I thought ND was better than Georgetown academically, SFS aside.


Most people do. But this is DCUM and Georgetown is strong regionally.


Georgetown is respected nationally. Most people know ND for football.


ND's class is more diverse geographically than Georgetown's, but nice try.


Both schools have kids from all 50 states. ND has international students from 48 countries. Georgetown has international students from 94 countries.


Oh look what google found for me. https://www.collegeraptor.com/find-colleges/articles/2023-university-rankings/top-25-most-geographically-diverse-college-2023-rankings/

Most geographically diverse colleges:

Notre Dame #1
Georgetown #9

LOL


Ok and … ?


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.

ND is also more domestic students. Georgetown over 17% international. They love the full pay international kids. Basically, it's the St Andrews of America.


this is funny, although I do think they take too many intl kids.


Tell that to the other top schools, then - oh and you sound very ignorant.


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.

Thank you. Well said. OP does not make sense.

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.

I can't think of a top 20 school that doesn't require at least two extra essays.
