Male. Govt/history/politics/IR-related. In-state VA. Doesn't qualify for any aid.  Willing to pay if a distinct advantage over other options.[/quote]

GEORGETOWN. ignore the DC bubble that craps on it, Georgetown is the best on the list[/quote]

I would take Pomona in less than a heartbeat over Georgetown, and it certainly has a better reputation if you care about that, but different strokes[/quote]

[b]It is definitely the hardest admit--though they all are very selective. [/b] But, some people don't want the hassle of the flights to and from west coast.  It also adds up $$$$ if you are already full-pay to throw transport on top of it.  As a parent that has seen it play out with nieces/nephews/neighbors when some unfortunate, unexpected events have come up ---the distance was a huge deal.[/quote]

Not really.  Pomona has only 29% submitting SAT and 15% ACT.  Georgetown is 72% and 32% respectively.  Pomona reports 85% top 10% class rank but has only 29% reporting class rank.  At Georgetown it is 84% top 10% but with 60% reporting.[/quote]

Most selective schools don’t provide HS class rank anymore.  My kid’s rigorous DMV HS does not rank.[/quote]

But the point remains.  Georgetown's stats are reflective of 100% of applicants submitting standardized test scores vs. well under half at test-optional Pomona.  Class rank is reported for a much larger percentage of enrolled students at Georgetown as well.  [/quote]

Pomona may have lower report rate for steadied test scores because it is in CA and lots of Ada kids do not sit for the test because the UCs don’t use it.[/quote]
