As a Jesuit school does Religion play a part in admission?

<p>It does not help</p>

<p>Considering how diverse Georgetown is, anyone can fit in. They do not look at religion. If they did, they'd be looking for non-Catholics so that they could diversify (for example, I was told that being non-Catholic actually makes it easier to get into ND and, to some extent, BC)</p>

<p>Diverse? I've heard that Georgetown isn't that diverse..although that could just be for int'l students?</p>

<p>"Well eruanneth...we can always say a Novena that you get in. (I am also Catholic)"</p>

<p>good idea, lol...i'm praying i'll get in. i'll pray for you too--hope we'll both get listened to!</p>

<p>"Diverse? I've heard that Georgetown isn't that diverse..although that could just be for int'l students?"</p>

<p>They say on their site that 25% of the class admitted in 2005 comes from minority backgrounds. Considering that the US is 81.7% white, I'd have to say that, being more than an accurate representation of the US population, Georgetown is diverse.</p>

<p>I guess that it's all relative. According to USNews (<a href="http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/brief/natudoc/natudoc_campdiv_brief.php%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/brief/natudoc/natudoc_campdiv_brief.php&lt;/a&gt;)
Rutgers has 23% just ASIAN, not to mention all the other minorities on campus..</p>

<p>Compared thus, Georgetown isn't that diverse.</p>

<p>But more of concern, personally, is what I've heard about Gtown's different groups not interacting :/</p>

<p>The U.S. is primarily Protestant, but you have to realize that Protestantism is not an actual sect of Christianity - it is rather a grouping of sects that aren't Catholic. If you look at each individual sect - Lutheranism, Presbyterianism, Methodism, etc, the Roman Catholic church has the most members by far. </p>

<p>It's like if someone said that the Ford was the most common car in America, but if someone else argued that there were more GMs. Maybe there are...but if you break it down into Chevy, Buick, Pontiac, Etc. the Ford brand would have more by far.</p>
