<p>How do they compare in difficulty of admission?</p>
<p>Georgetown experienced a large number of applicants due to Princeton and Harvard ending their early programs, (as did a lot of other schools). Thus, many of the applicants were very strong and the acceptance rate went down to 18%.</p>
<p>I understand that Georgetown is not quite at the same level as Princeton, but I was wondering if there might be some comparison in their admissions because it seems that a large amount of Georgetown EA applicants are also applying to Princeton.</p>
<p>Even the Georgetown School of Foreign Service doesn't quite compare to Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School. Well, I guess you could compare the two, but Woody Woo is better :)</p>
<p>The college, not SFS, and I am not talking about the quality of education at the schools but simply their respective selectivity.</p>
<p>I was just wondering how much harder it was to get into Princeton, and whether getting in Georgetown EA could be compared to Princeton RD at all.</p>
<p>Hmm, I think any conclusions drawn from a Georgetown EA decision in regards to the Princeton RD round would be along the lines of:</p>
<p>rejected: you're not getting into Princeton
deferred: a less definite "no," but still very unlikely
accepted: you're not out of the running (there's probably a wide range in the kind of applicants that got accepted, some who will have very good shots of getting into Princeton, and some who don't, but since we're just going by the decision, I don't think you can be any more specific than saying that you have a chance)</p>
<p>Of course, there will be some exceptions, but I think the majority of cases can be described as such. They're both great schools in any event.</p>
