[quote=Anonymous]I guess because I'm older Georgetown has never seen "all that" to me. I had classmates go there in the late 70s who were somewhat above-average at a typical FCPS HS in the pre-TJ era. At some point in the 90s, Georgetown admissions started to get more competitive and the admissions director was quoted locally as saying GU didn't want to look at any kids from NoVa public high schools who didn't go to TJ. In recent years, my kid's non-TJ public in FCPS has been sending 2-5 kids to GU per year. They are very good students, but not Ivy material, and similar to the kids getting into U. Va. My overall impression is that the school isn't quite sure how to present itself, and maybe it still appeals the most to some starry-eyed kids from Arkansas or Kansas who think going to school in DC would be a big deal.
