[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Georgetown's consistency here is underrated too. Most rankings have them pretty up there - not a top 10 school but definitely a clear-cut top 20 school[/quote]

IMHO Georgetown has been held back by a truly old school admissions department and philosophy. Their small endowment is also a problem but their lack of change over time in how they approach admissions has been head scratching (lack of the Common App and ED I or 2 programs is surprising) . This is especially true since some of their grad schools, the law school in particular, has been progressive change wise compared with peers.

Georgetown's yield would shoot way up with ED, and ED2 would be an amazing way to get top kids who barely missed out on a Harvard or Stanford and want to lock in a great alternative to Chicago, WashU, or Emory (who all use ED2 effectively to get committed high-end students who are struggling after a rejection or deferral). Their application numbers would also instantly rise just by accepting the Common App. Taking the Common App would also help make things easier and more accessible for all candidates.[/quote]
