About Georgetown University
Georgetown University is a small private university in Washington, DC, in a city setting.
What Georgetown University looks for
Georgetown University accepts roughly 13%, which means a strong application is necessary but not sufficient. Most admitted students are at or above the mid-50 in test scores and have at least one extracurricular thread that AOs read as substantive. The supplements matter. The "why us" essay is where many otherwise-strong applications fall apart, because it reads as a Mad Libs of the school's website rather than a real plan.
Frequently asked
What SAT score do I need for Georgetown University?
Georgetown University's middle 50% SAT range is 1390 to 1550. A score in or above that band keeps you in the conversation; below it, the rest of your application has to do more work.
What ACT score do I need for Georgetown University?
Middle 50% ACT range is 31 to 35. The top of that range or above is what most admitted students submit when they choose to send a score.
What is the acceptance rate at Georgetown University?
Georgetown University admits roughly 13% of applicants. That makes it a reach for nearly everyone, regardless of stats.
What does Georgetown University actually cost after financial aid?
Average net cost (after institutional aid) is about $40,815 per year. Net cost varies enormously by family income; run the school's net price calculator for an estimate that reflects your situation.
Is Georgetown University a reach, match, or safety for me?
Compare your stats to the middle 50% above. If you are at or below the 25th percentile, treat Georgetown University as a reach. If you are in the middle 50%, it is a match. Above the 75th percentile and the school accepts above 25% overall, it is closer to a safety. Selectivity below 20% should be treated as a reach for everyone, period.
