[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No need for Georgetown to change. Why should they? The only reason would be to get more applicants so they can lower their acceptance rate and increase their ranking. But guess what? Thankfully, they're not focused on that. They take applications from only those who truly want to attend, so they yes, they get fewer applicants. But the students who attend, do so happily. Jesuit spirit alive and well at Georgetown.[/quote]

as it is, the admission rate is around like 12% and [b]SFS is more like 8%[/b]. If they went to the common app, these would both drop significantly[/quote]

No, higher: 15%. But it is a self-selected group by and large.[/quote]

Right. The lowest rate is McDonough, then the college, then SFS. [/quote]

Everyone always told us that SFS was the hardest admit, such that it would be better for my kid to apply poly sci or govt or history to the college vs to SFS.

I know the published data shows college harder---but I think SFS you get a lot of highly qualified International students and those that speak multiple languages, so that might affect chances--competition?[/quote]
