Hey everyone, I'm really interested in applying to Georgetown but I'm not sure of the current acceptance rate. Can anyone give me an updated acceptance rate for GU? Thanks!
Hello! Georgetown University's acceptance rate fluctuates slightly from year to year, but has been around 12% for recent applications cycles. Keep in mind that this number does vary between the four undergraduate schools at Georgetown (College, School of Nursing and Health Studies, Walsh School of Foreign Service, and McDonough School of Business).
While knowing the acceptance rate gives you a general idea of how competitive the school is, it's important to focus on building a strong application rather than getting fixated on the acceptance rate. Ensure that you have a solid academic profile, compelling essays, and impressive extracurricular activities, as these factors contribute to the holistic evaluation of your application. After all, despite the low acceptance rate, many students are indeed accepted to Georgetown each year, and you could just be one of them! Good luck with your application!
