<p>Keep in mind that what seems arbitrary to us may make perfect sense within the admissions room. We don’t know what their essays look like, what their rec letter said, or how their interview went. Th admissions committee [generally] has a good reason for every decision they make.</p>
<p>For some quantitative analysis though, we can turn to the [CC</a> stats profiles](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/profiles/index.html]CC”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/profiles/index.html)! After looking through the class of '07 (class of '11), here are the averages</p>
<p>I threw out those whose status was still will apply/pending, since they don’t provide any meaningful results. and you can make your own judgement as to how to weight the deferred applicants. For GPA I’ll only average those who reported something on a 4.0 scale. I’m not including SAT Writing since Georgetown doesn’t look at it, and hence we shouldn’t expect it to be predictable anyway</p>
<p>Accepted & Will attend (29):
SAT CR: 749
SAT M: 759
GPA (UW): 3.92</p>
<p>Deferred (6, note the low sample size):
SAT CR: 698
SAT M: 683
GPA (UW): 4.01 (impossible, someone lied about their GPA or doesn’t understand what unweighted means)</p>
<p>Waitlisted (8, again, small sample):
SAT CR: 759
SAT M: 745
GPA (UW): 3.90</p>
<p>Rejected (14):
SAT CR: 720
SAT M: 695
GPA (UW): 3.74</p>
<p>so comparing straight across accepted & rejected, things don’t seem entirely unreasonable (as well as you can determine from averages anyway). Those waitlisted however, look really close to accepted.</p>
