[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regarding to G'Town's ranking, I feel it has something to do with the lack of STEM program, and this hurts its academic reputation. It graduates successful bankers, doctors, lawyers and politicians, etc., but not scientists and engineers. This probably is due to its resource, or by design. Who would go to college in DC. for engineering?[/quote]

It seems like schools with small endowments, and limited physical space for expansion, like Georgetown Tufts BC and William and Mary are going to be on the downslope over the next 10 years, while public universities like U Florida and UT Austin are going to keep rising because of their research capabilities, and their overall appeal.[/quote]

William & Mary especially since their endowment is well over $1 billion below the next lowest in that group. Georgetown is unique among those mentioned because of its truly national brand. Georgetown would likely rise a few spots ranking wise just by using the common application and instituting an early decision program. [/quote]

Going to common app will have no impact on Georgetown's ranking.[/quote]

How do you know they aren’t trying to game the system. It doesn’t make sense to go to common app if acceptance rate makes no dent in the ranking. You seem very defensive. It will never be too 20 and will continue to decline.

Not on their ranking, but many more would apply and thus their admission rate would go down, significantly.[/quote]

Admission rate is not a factor to consider at all.  That is why USNWR eliminated it from their methodology.[/quote]

Georgetown has made it pretty clear they don't plan on gaming the system or even just doing what most do with the common app, so what they could or couldn't do doesn't really matter.

It is a great school with international name recognition. That doesn't change if it is ranked 12 or 25.
