<p>Many people on here have been saying that Cornell is more difficult to get into than Georgetown. See, that's where I'm confused. From my school last year, we only had one acceptance to Georgetown. On the other hand, we had 22 to Cornell! How is it that all these people think that Cornell is more difficult to get into if people with lower gpa's and SAT's got into Cornell?</p>
<p>You're right, Cornell is easier to get into than Georgetown. Gtown has a lower acceptance rate than Cornell. And for Gtown, you need 3 SAT IIs compared to 2 for Cornell. I also think the average SAT score for Gtown is higher(not absolutely sure about this). So yea, I don't know why it would be easier to get into Georgetown than it is to Cornell.</p>

That's not very useful information, you know. If only one person applied to Georgetown, no wonder only one was admitted. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Hawkphoenix, glad to know someone agrees with me. It's just that every time there's a chances thread, someone ALWAYS lists Georgetown as a "match" and Cornell as a "reach", or Georgetown as a "reach" and Cornell as a "high reach". </p>
<p>warblersrule, I think that may have something to do with the fact that Cornell is know as an "ivy league", and gets applications from people who don't even know that Georgetown exists.</p>
<p>I'm sorry for the underestimation of Cornell's selectivity. However, I still feel a successful Gtown applicant needs to be more qualified than a successful Cornell applicant.</p>
<p>Oh, and also, warbler, more than 1 person applied to GTown-- it had an acceptance rate of under 10% @ my school, while cornell had one of about 30.</p>
<p>Take out Cornell's endowed school admittance %; then it becomes more selective than GTown.</p>
