First Year Applicant

Georgetown offers students the opportunity to apply in two ways: Early Action or Regular Decision. Regardless of which option you choose, we encourage you to begin your application by submitting the Georgetown Application as soon as possible. Filling out and submitting the Georgetown Application should only take you a few minutes. Once you submit the Georgetown Application, we will open your application file and begin the process of scheduling the required interview with a member of your local Alumni Admissions Committee.

Since we communicate with candidates via email about scheduling alumni interviews as well as missing credentials, we kindly ask that you allow access to the georgetown.edu email addresses through any spam filters used by your internet service provider.

For all important information about the application process, we recommend printing out the Information for Candidates document.

Checklist and Deadlines

No application will be considered until all of the required credentials have been received. A notice of missing credentials will be emailed, but students should make every effort to ensure that they are submitted on time (see deadlines below). A complete application includes the following information:

Georgetown Application
Application Supplement
Secondary School Report (including transcript)
Teacher’s Recommendation
A Non-refundable Application Fee of $75.00 – payable in USD
Results of the College Board Scholastic Assessment Test or the American College Testing Program examination sent directly from the testing service
Scores from College Board SAT Subject Tests sent directly from the testing service (if taken prior to January 2021)

All applicants for Early Action must clearly indicate their intention in the appropriate space on the application form, but otherwise should follow the normal application procedure. While we recommend that Early Action applicants complete testing requirements in their junior year, scores from the September and October test dates will typically arrive in time for consideration at Early Action. Students should make certain to request that scores be sent to Georgetown well in advance of the deadline to ensure timely receipt.

All admitted first year students will then have until May 1 to submit their enrollment agreement and non-refundable deposit to reserve a place in the first year class.

Early Action applicants should submit all materials by November 1. They will be notified by the admissions committee of their admissions decision by December 15. Regular Decision applicants should have all application materials postmarked by January 10. They will be notified by the admissions committee of their admissions decision by April 1. Accepted students have until May 1 to mail their deposit.

We appreciate your interest in Georgetown and look forward to learning more about you and your accomplishments in the coming months.
