[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are a NYC family. Visited GU last week and it seemed great. Super social but not frat heavy, which would suit my DS. He'd love a midsize school in or near an East Coast city. Probable major is social sciences. We can pay in full and DS has a strong SAT score (1530/1540 from March/May). Any reason not to REA? Downsides that weren't obvious? I figure GU is a known quantity on this forum![/quote]

From our DMV private Georgetown REA helps a little for the very top kids who would otherwise ED/Rea an ivy/T10: based on scoir Gtown REA is a higher percent acceptance than the same tier of students in RD, tho it is close. RD seems to indicate a slight yield protection issue with the very top students in that top group. Lower ivies do that too though, the WL as YP of the very top Val/sal kids, when higher ivies let them in RD.
If the student is not in the top ivy-competitive group, Georgetown REA vs RD is not different. 
The downside is your student misses the chance to ED to another T15 type school.
Everyone seems to want a midsized school near an east coast city. Best of luck! The scores will help a lot since Georgetown sees them all and values them highly[/quote]
