My lackluster spawn got in with scores in the mid-1400s, as did many non-legacy. The great thing about Georgetown is that they don't see scores as the be all end all. They know that there is a certain level prospective students should meet to show they can do the work. They don't have sliding scale and say, first let's take all the 1600s and go down from there. That's why they have such a vibrant, diverse group of students who are grounded, ambitious, and community-minded (well, except for the MSB--that place is a toxic cesspool, but that's for another thread). It's why Georgetown was sophisticated enough not to go TO in the first place. That only raised the average admitted scores and didn't allow those with sub-1500s to consider, leaving many schools to miss out on great students. Georgetown doesn't think like that and that works very well for them.[/quote]
