GU is only 3-5% for EA. They don't reject anyone then though. If you aren't accepted, you get deferred.

They will take a HUGE amount of legacy in the early numbers. HUGE. Their legacy game is very, very strong and they count grad and law school and adult day students as legacy.  Faculty kids are also in the early rounds.

It would up being a waste of an EA, prohibiting other private school EAs.  They state there is no EA advantage.

The EA acceptances we saw from SCOIR had much lower GPAs and much, much lower test scores than the RD admits.[/quote]
Yet Deacon claims otherwise: "[b]Georgetown does not consider legacy status for early action[/b] applicants, according to Deacon.  “We’ve always said that if you’re going to get any extra attention, such as a recruited athlete or a legacy, that that would all always happen at the regular decision so that early becomes truly an honors-on-entrance type of a pool, the top of our class, basically,” Deacon said."

PP, you are 0-for-2, with rate and the legacy angle being very different from your post vs The Hoya article. Giving you the benefit of the doubt, what is your source of information? If you are referring to SCOIR, what state/area is your high school located in, being as specific or vague as you prefer?

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.  Complete BS.  Every single EA at our HS was legacy.  And legacy with much lower stats.  The data on SCOIR doesn't lie.  [/quote]

how many EA admits could your one school have possibly had that you think it's indicative of the entire cohort of EA admits?[/quote]

SCOIR gives us 5 years of data...[/quote]

right .. so that's maybe 15 kids out of 1000 kids admitted EA during those 5 years[/quote]

To be fair, if that is all the EA kids admitted for 5 years early....and then others RD...it is telling who gets in at their school.  It is very relevant.  You will know if there are legacy at your school---you ain't getting in early even with much better stats.  So--wait until RD if you don't want to throw away EA at other schools.[/quote]

is they take 3 kids EA from your school, you're one of the top feeders into GU in the country [/quote]

I don’t think that’s right.  Dp, a small, academically rigorous private in the MidAtlantic area. Georgetown  acceptance rate is April d30 percent for our school.  So 2 to 4 students a year attend.  I  don’t think we would qualify as their biggest feeder.[/quote]
