Chances -- Very Important

<p>Okay, so for the longest time I've been banking on applying to Columbia ED.
Recently I've really been considering Georgetown EA... For one, I'm in NY, and it'd be a nice change of location. And Columbia is kind of a better school, just overall, although I think Georgetown has a better social scene.</p>

<p>Two things...</p>

<p>1) Can anyone shed some light on the truly unique things about Georgetown, as I don't know an awful lot about the school. (For example, Columbia has the Core, and NYC obviously.) Does Georgetown have a structured liberal arts curiculum (like Columbia's Core)? Is the area nice? I've been to Washington before, briefly, and it was beautiful. And how big is Greek life?</p>

<p>2) Can someone please give me an accurate assessment of my chances. If I have less than, say, a 1/3 shot at Georgetown EA, I might not apply.</p>

<p>I know that there is no Greek life at Gtown. I think it was forbidden by the Jesuits or that the students just didn't like it. Or something along those lines.</p>

3

<p>Gtown is still a bit of a party school, despite the lack of Greek life.</p>

<p>And although Gtown discourages it, you can apply EA Gtown and ED somewhere else.</p>

<p>Georgetown actually says pretty clearly you should not be applying EA to Gtown and ED somewhere else</p>

<p>I think you have a decent chance applying EA (unless it's SFS, then your chances go down a bit, but I think they're still there).</p>

6

<p>Okay, I'll take decent.
About 10-15 kids get accepted to Georgetown from my HS each year, so hopefully applying EA would give me an edge.</p>

<p>Btw, does anyone know Georgetown's EA acceptance rate?</p>

<p>And will Georgetown look at the SAT I Writing score, if even just a tiny bit? (This coming from a disgruntled student who got an 800.)</p>

<p>regular acceptance and early acceptance are about the same.
I think regular is 22 and early is 23-25.</p>

<p>I have heard that they just dont look at it at all. Sorry</p>
