<p>If you look at the referenced statistics, MSB accepted 17.0% of EA applicants and 19.3% of RA applicants. These percentges are right in line with the other schools (SFS, COL, NHS). You will also notice that the percentile rank (GPA) for RA MSB applicants was the lowest of all the schools at 94.5%. In summary, there were 727 admits to the Business School out of 3,883 applicants if my math is correct.</p>
<p>Another key factor is that there overall class size is around 1,600 each year. Because of a relatively static class size (due to space and DC limitations) but ever increasing applications each year, the admit rates are shrinking. In summary, Georgetown is a fairly selective school and there is a lot of competition for admission. When you factor in that 791 of the 1,624 new freshmen were 1st, 2nd or 3rd in their HS classes, it further tightens the selectivity for those applicants not at the top of their classes but applying with strong application profiles. Check out the stats. The link is in my earlier post #3 in this thread.</p>
