Shouldn't Georgetown be higher? Otherwise sounds about right. [/quote]

19-25 isn't right.  USNWR will continue to have ties like they did this year. I think Emory is out of 25 and WUSTL is too high.[/quote]
Emory is fine and so is WashU. The school thats most precarious is Georgetown. The t25 with the lowest endowment. [/quote]
But Georgetown is one of the schools that shows how off USNews is. A tougher admit than 1/2 the schools on this list, and super prestigious for what it does. Once it adopts the common app, its acceptance rate will be well into the single digits — without ED. At a certain point you have to listen to kids (who are very prestige-conscious) and how they are voting with their feet.[/quote]

georgetown is exactly where they belong. us news is not a selectivity rank but quality of programs. georgetown has no science or engineering programs and is lacking in top programs in general save for sfs which is losing relevance. mcdonough business is very meh.

even if it were selectivity based, what schools above is it actually more selectivity than? most already have single digit acceptance rates[/quote]
US News is off, is the point.
As for selectivity, you are simply ignorant. Georgetown has no ED and is not on the common app. ED brings down admissions rates; ED2 brings them way down. The better question, for you, is — once normalized — which non-HYPS schools in the top 25 are actually more selective than Georgetown? Certainly not Chicago, for instance…
The better question is[/quote]

you are grasping for straws here. chicago even before these ed games was more selective than georgetown.  most of the privates could go EA and still be as selective. If the schools really wanted to game the system, they could just take more off waitlists vs ED which they dont do[/quote]
Chicago takes 70% of class ED.
Georgetown could likely double its apps simply by adopting the common app.
Math is not your friend, but keep drinking Kool-Aid and, by all means, hold onto your straw.[/quote]

Georgetown sucks at stem and this shows. Show me where [b]chicago takes 70% ED since they dont release ed stats you clown[/b][/quote]
They might even take 75-80%. Why would they release, with gullible people like you thinking it is a tough ED admit?[/quote]
