[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our son applied with a 4.1 from a close in difficult HS, mid 1300s on SAT and two varsity sports.

-He was born there.
-His mother attended undergrad and grad school there.
-My father attended undergrad and law school there.
-My FIL taught there for 26 years
-I worked there from 1996-2004
-My family and my wife's family have been making annual donations since June of 1966.

Not only was he rejected, but we didn't even get so much as an acknowledgement that they turned down a 5 degree legacy.

F&&k Georgetown. Not only will they never see another dime from any of us, but I will openly disparage them at any opportunity.[/quote]

Surprising, given legacy. However, his scores are very very low for Georgetown. Did you try test prep?? And if that is a 4.1 weighted gpa that is also very low. Nobody with stats that low gets in from our HS. It’s really become uber competitive.

My kid had a 36 ACT, no legacy, uw 4.0 and got in. I don’t think legacy with stats below the average should be accepted. Legacy works when you are in the same ballpark - not when you are well below the average.[/quote]
