Hi all! I'm considering applying Early Action to Georgetown. Can anyone share any statistics or insights about their EA acceptance rate? I know it may vary by year, but it would be helpful to get an idea of the likelihood of being accepted. Thanks!
Hello! Georgetown University, being a highly selective institution, tends to have a lower acceptance rate in general. While it can fluctuate from year to year, Georgetown's overall Early Action acceptance rate is similar to its Regular Decision Acceptance rate of 12%. Of course, this is an average across all applicants, and individual chances may be influenced significantly by various factors, such as the strength of your application and your fit with the school.
Keep in mind that while applying EA may offer you a small advantage in admissions (since it can show your enthusiasm and possibly slightly boost your chances), there is a negligible difference in acceptance rates between Early Action and Regular Decision for Georgetown. It is crucial to balance your desire to apply early with making sure your application is in the best possible shape, as a strong application will have a greater impact on your chances than applying EA alone. If you feel confident in your application, applying Early Action might be a good choice for you.
Good luck with your application, and I hope you find this information helpful in your decision-making process!
