what are the georgetown act scores? how about georgetown sat scores? let’s take a closer look at georgetown admissions and how to get into georgetown.<\/p>\n
there are two things that make the georgetown first-year admissions process a bit different from admissions data from other top schools.<\/p>\n
first, georgetown does not<\/em> publish the gpa statistics for their admitted freshman. i actually called georgetown admissions and asked them why they don’t make these stats available. the answer they gave was an interesting one. the georgetown admissions official i spoke with pointed out that high schools really do measure gpa in a variety of ways. there is weighted gpa (4.0 scale), unweighted gpa (5.0 scale), gpa based on classes with and without grade curves, and so on. <\/p>\n because of all this, it’s difficult for any school to publish a single average gpa; georgetown has chosen to simply not list gpa. so when you apply for georgetown admissions, it’ll be a little harder to use your gpa as a predictor of your chances. (i’ll give you more thoughts on this later in the article, in the “georgetown gpa” section.)<\/p>\n this brings me to the second significant difference between georgetown’s admissions practices and those of other schools: georgetown does not have one general application for undergraduate students. instead, georgetown has four different baccalaureate schools. each undergrad school has its own average test scores and class ranks for accepted students. in the table below, you can see the standards for georgetown sat scores, georgetown act scores, and high school class rank percentile.<\/p>\ntable 1: georgetown admissions criteria and expectations<\/h3>\n
