Only to athletic recruits and other priority/hooks.

I believe recruits go to their RD for some reason; I remember reading that — but not sure where.


Their legacy game is the strongest of anywhere.

this might be regional bias. I've lived in nyc for 30 years and know more enthusiastic Columbia grads than GU grads by a factor of 50


Those people went there before Columbia turned into an Outward Bound campout for spoiled chubby girls.

The point is the PP is a troll. If he indeed went to Georgetown, he would not have said GT. Thus, ignore his suggestion.

Why not both schools? Dual major (GU and Columbia):

All single digit admission schools, fwiw.
