Georgetown – Admissions Blog

Georgetown University has announced its school-by-school acceptance rates for students applying during the 2017-2108 admissions cycle, and while another cycle is just about at a close, Georgetown hasn’t made much news with this year’s admissions stats, as they are quite consistent with last year’s numbers.

According to The Hoya, the Georgetown student newspaper, last year (the 2016-2017 admissions cycle) Georgetown reported acceptance rates by school that were pretty similar to this year’s acceptance rates.

Bottom line: Georgetown is tough to get into statistically. But is this really news? No, but we hope you appreciate the up to date intel.

Also fun to note, Georgetown shared that nobody should be making predictions about whether or not they will be taken off this year’s Georgetown University “Waiting List.” That’s because recent years’ waitlist stats indicate that anything is possible.
