The Class of 2022 was one of the most challenging years to be admitted to Georgetown University ever. For the Class of 2022, 22,897 students applied to Georgetown University of which 3,327 students were accepted, yielding an overall acceptance rate of 14.5%. Overall applications decreased by 21.8% over last year (2021 to 2022) from 29,281 to 22,897.
Waitlisted. D22. 1500 SAT, 5.03 WGPA. Level 10 gymnast. Reasonable volunteering (considering 25 hours/week for gymnastics). 8 AP classes. This is the 4th Waitlist she’s received. (Accepted at 4, WL at 4, rejected by 2). I have a feeling there will more movement after May 1 than usual. I think kids are applying to more schools since standardized tests are optional. Just a thought.
In the same boat! S22 rejected, 1500 SAT, 4.0 UW, lots of ECs, leadership, etc. 4 acceptances, 4 WL, and now this first rejection. Still waiting on 4 more schools. It’s clear there’s a lot of talent and confusion out there. Sending good vibes to all, and hope we can collectively free up some coveted WL spots.
They’ve had increases in applications the past few years, like all the top schools. Gtown May not have had as many this year because they still require testing so kids with poor test scores may shy away.
Generally speaking 2021 WL are not a good proxy because of all the students that deferred enrollment the year before. A large number of colleges ended up over enrolled.
Mom2WEB - he was happy with his decision - but you have to remember that it was hardcore covid times and at that point it didn’t look like any colleges were gonna have kids on campus
he zoomed the first 2 weeks of school from his bedroom here in Socal and then he moved to a hotel in Dupont Circle (it’s in DC a few blocks from campus) and he zoomed for the rest of 1st semester from a hotel room - there were actually a few girls from London doing the same - but it was kind of like THE SHINING lol - but he just wanted to go away to school
my wife found a facebook group of Georgetown Parents and she saw one of them post that their son was looking for a 5th roommate for an apartment in Georgetown - she connected our son with her son
Apparently they chatted and agreed on their musical tastes and our son moved in with 4 kids (3 were Georgetown kids and 1 was a Howard kid) and they all had their own room in a basement level of a pretty nice townhouse in DC - again a few blocks from campus …
These 5 boys fell in love with each other and even tho they had to zoom to school - they played a lot of basketball and rode their bikes around DC and near the campus …
So then … the school decided to offer a summer session for the 1st year students ON CAMPUS - so he finally got into a dorm in June - he still had to zoom to class but he was at least coming closer to a college experience …
So NOW … it’s Sophomore year and he lives with one of the kids he met in the apartment - all of them are still very close and he loves it - he plays on 2 soccer teams and has a radio show on the weekend with his roomie and he takes a lot of Physics classes lol
that’s a long answer but I will say - what many people say - even tho Georgetown was a school he never visited and kinda threw an app in after not getting his ED - (we also had never seen the school and honestly I only saw it for the first time during Sophomore Parents Weekend … it’s quite nice lol) … but the thing that people say “they end up exactly where they’re supposed to be”
for him - that is 100% true - even tho it took until F’N AUGUST !!!
