The pamphlet does not specify what year. Though I got it in the spring so it could be of that fall’s class of 2012. It does specify that this is the distribution of students who enrolled in the school not who were admitted.</li>

<p>More kids got in from other states it is just that they didn’t end up going. That is probably why states around GU have higher numbers because I thing it would be more likely that kids closer to Geogretown would be more likely to end up going. But this is just my opinion.</p>
<p>@mirzag91, Runner_Dean already posted the stats for every state (thank you by the way we must have the same pamphlet!) but just to reiterate, it is 1 as SiriuslyItalian said.</p>
<p>I would agree with Runner_Dean. I don’t think they are averages, because there are no decimals or anything. And I also think that the distinction between enrolling and accepted is important as well.</p>
<p>Also, in case anybody’s interested, here’s another way to look at it by region:</p>
<p>Mid Atlantic: 39%
Southeast: 10%
DC Metropolitan: 1%
West/Northwest: 13%
Southwest: 5%
Central/Midwest: 13%
Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Guam, Virgin Is. : <1%
New England: 12%
International: 8%</p>
<p>Oh, and I also want to say that I don’t think that this list means that they have designated a certain amount of spots per state. In other words, if you’re from South Dakota, you’re not screwed because their amount of enrolling students is 0, or if you’re from Arizona, they don’t automatically admit 7 people (no more no less). I think it’s just an interesting profile of where the students enrolling in Georgetown happened to live during their senior year of high school.</p>
<p>So the moral of the story is, they are going to accept/reject you based on merit, not where you live. So don’t get discouraged if your state has a low rate!</p>
<p>@munlover, i interpret it as the school not receiving as many applications from my state (KS), not that they don’t accept many applicants, because i know that outside of my region, there aren’t many kansans who apply to schools out of state, let alone schools like georgetown. so, it’s a good thing because it’s less competition and makes me more unique. :]</p>
<p>I too have been following this thread religiously and have just decided to join - I am expecting a deferral letter in the mail tomorrow (my SAT II’s killed me I’m sure), and was wondering: would Georgetown mind if I sent another letter of recommendation? Since they only wanted one to begin with, it doesn’t seem as if it’s too much to ask… I wouldn’t except that my International Politics class at Dartmouth College just ended and I’d really like my professor to write me a recommendation - do you think that would help?</p>
<p>Congratulations to all who have been accepted, condolences to those who remain in deferred purgatory, and HANG IN THERE those who have not gotten letters yet! :)</p>
<p>I think another recommendation would help if it gave a different point of view on you than the other rec. If the person knew a different side of you that you would like the admissions officers to know about, you should send it in. I’m not sure how much a Dartmouth professor could help out. If it had been from Georgetown, it would’ve been a different story.</p>
<p>@4aggieharts, Runner_Dean and I have been posting the geographic distribution of enrolling students, from a year or two ago. Basically, it’s the amount of students who ENROLLED (not who were accepted) in Georgetown from each state and region. It’s just an interesting list of where the students of Georgetown come from.</p>
<p>@ashtona, that’s a good way of looking at it too. I mean, I know that they are going to base it off of how qualified a student is, but it doesn’t hurt to have less people around you to compete with ha ha. I totally agree about the uniqueness thing. The different parts of the country can be vastly different, so I think a little geographic diversity can offer you a fresh perspective</p>
<p>^ I don’t think there’s a specific cut-off GPA to keep (someone correct me if I’m wrong). However at other schools I think you get a warning letter at a certain mix of grades (maybe straight Bs? or a mix of Bs and Cs?) and an actual rescission at… maybe straight Cs or Cs and Ds or an F. Could be totally off here, but this is what I’ve heard for other top schools like Northwestern, Tufts, Wash U, etc. I think a lot of people freak out if they get a B or two but it has to be a pretty significant drop to lose your acceptance.</p>
<p>Did any of you send in official AP score reports? People at my school say that top notch schools usually don’t look at that, because the AP exams are so heavily curved. But I’ve gotten 5s on AP subjects in which I didn’t get an A at school…Thanks!</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure it’s like a 3.9, or around there (unless my info is off). My school uses the 100 pt scale too and I have a 94 uw which I’m told is the lowest equivalent of a 4.0</p>
