[quote=Anonymous][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, alt[b]hough the portal indicted this in bold and required non-score-submitters to complete a form explaining their inability to test.[/quote][/b]

Not an applicant, but I don't see anywhere a requirement of explanation as to why tests weren't taken.  https://uadmissions.georgetown.edu/flexible-testing-requirements/[/quote]
