[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Georgetown decisions are in the portal (Sunday afternoon)[/quote]
From what others wrote about acceptance letter, 8700 apps, 11% accepted.  That's about a 19% increase in apps.

That amount of increase is surprising to me, for a school that, unlike other top schools, [b]is not really test-optional[/b] and doesn't seem to be planning in-person classes anytime soon.[/quote]

It is test-optional.  Kids are just throwing in their applications anywhere.  https://georgetownvoice.com/2020/09/27/georgetown-instates-test-optional-policy-for-2020-21-application-season/[/quote]
The initial announcement was misinterpreted widely.  Georgetown is test-flexible.  Students can apply and be accepted without test scores if they did not take the test.  However, applicants were still required to submit all SAT/ACT sittings and all subject tests ever taken.

Would not surprise me if some significant fraction of the Georgetown app pool doesn't quite realize this, although the portal indicted this in bold and required non-score-submitters to complete a form explaining their inability to test.[/quote]
