[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Okay but it's irrational not to concede his stats were not at all competitive. Legacy doesn't give THAT much of a boost. You should have spent some of that money on SAT tutors. [/quote]

If you think there werent any kids in this years admissions that scored in the 1300s then you are a fool, simply put.[/quote]

I think anyone is a fool who thinks a kid with a 1300 is going to get in without top-tier connections or *very* substantial donations, none of which applied in this case.[/quote]

Uhhh, my kid got into Brown with a 1320. And Brown is light years above Georgetown.[/quote]
