[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a lot of CATHOLIC Catholics and they would never ever ever send their kids to Georgetown.[/quote]

Oh for heaven's sake.  DP.  Our family is CATHOLIC Catholic and we would be very happy to have any of our children at Georgetown.  It is an outstanding school.

Not to muddy the waters, OP, but we've heard that Georgetown places more value on class rank than test scores.  Our kids looked at Georgetown but we live close by and they ultimately decided they wanted to be a little further away from home than a 10 minute drive!  Understandable.  :)

Anyway, keep encouraging and supporting your daughter.  I hope she lands at the school that is the best fit for her, whether that be Georgetown or not![/quote]

Not sure how GU is measuring class rank when most schools do not report it.  And I don't know how you can say they don't value test scores when until this year, they required three SAT II tests (I believe they just brought that down to 2 for this year).

[/quote]It is what I heard from 3 different people at the school who would know (regent, 2 senior admin).  Their first question/statement out of the gate was where our kid was vis-à-vis class rank and was s/he in the top 3 or 5.  We were just doing our due diligence ahead of time so no skin in the game.  Just reporting our experience so I'm not going to argue back and forth with you about it.  You can choose to accept my statement or not I don't really care.[/quote]

Well I know a few kids that are going to GU next year from my son's high school, and they were nowhere near the top of their class.  It depends on the high school.[/quote]
