[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone whose kid is a year away from starting the college application process, this is depressing as hell.

Why did so few kids apply to Georgetown compared to other area schools?[/quote]

My guess - cost.  And Georgetown doesn't give merit scholarships, it's all need based.  So the donut hole families don't want their children taking on massive student loan debt and won't pay $80000 a year.

It looks like no students applied to GWU (George Washington U.)  Their tuition is $62000 and the school doesn't have the reputation/rankings that Georgetown has.

Tuition costs for local schools:
Georgetown is $62000  - 
American University is $27,000 
Catholic University is $52000 - they will give generous merit aid if you have decent grades & they also have a "scholarship" for registered Catholics (those who regularly attend their home parish)
George Mason is $14000 in state
Howard is $30,000
Marymount is $34,000
Mary Washington is $14000
UMD is $40000 out of state[/quote]
