<p>her is a really good one though it is not official
he Georgetown admissions process is probably the most interesting of the selective schools (I know because I sit on the admissions committee). Each committee consists of admissions officers (who know about the individual high schools and have a broad view of the process), faculty, deans, and students--so all members of the university community are involved. Academics (course selection, grades, class rank, standardized tests (SAT/ACT, Achievement Tests, AP Exams) and Personal Attributes (essays, recommendations, extracurricular activities, work, travel, interview) are RATED EQUALLY in the process, so it is not uncommon to have valedictorians and people with high SATs to be denied when others from the same high schools with slightly lower academic credentials but stronger personal attributes admitted. Georgetown is filled with people who LOVE the school and has an extremely low attrition rate--the admissions committees do a good job determining who would benefit most from Georgetown and vice-versa--so expressing your enthusiasm for attending the school is a big help (through your application, essays, interview, recommendations).

<p>Wow, that's really interesting. I would love to hear more about their admissions process. Their website is a bit 1995.</p>

<p>thank you for informing all of us about the process. I applied and I am soooo nervous waiting. I was concerned that my SAT scores were a little low and that they might hurt me. But, I commend the approach weighing all factors. I hope I get in!!!</p>

<p>hey Akajjred-
I have a few questions about your application process:
1. did you apply EA?
2. What was the interview like?
3. What sort of ECs made you stand out (in your opinion)?
Also--are you satisfied with the SFS? It sounds amazing.</p>

<p>thanks</p>
