Georgetown, located in the heart of one of the world's most culturally and politically prominent cities, welcomes applications from talented international students who wish to join our exciting community. To personally introduce you to the range of academic and co-curricular opportunities at Georgetown, every year we conduct Information Sessions in several countries across the world. To view the most current list of cities where we plan to visit, please see the link below.
International applicants to Georgetown follow the same application procedure and deadlines as US citizens.
All candidates (including non-US citizens or non-permanent residents) are reviewed without consideration of a student's financial resources.
Thus, it is not necessary to send a Statement of Finances with your application.
Plainly stated, our "Need-Blind" admissions policy applies to everyone.
The fastest and easiest way to apply is to download the application from here.
If you are unable to download it, please inform your regional admissions officer (listed below under "Communicating with Us") and provide your name and complete mailing address so that an application can be mailed to you.
Georgetown Policy on Score Choice
SAT
Georgetown's SAT code is 5244.
Georgetown only considers the critical reading and math portions of the SAT, not the writing section.
If an applicant takes the SAT more than once, the admissions committees will consider the highest critical reading score and the highest math score from multiple test sessions when reviewing the application.
ACT
Georgetown's ACT code is 0668.
Georgetown accepts the ACT in lieu of the SAT.
Applicants who take the ACT more than once will have their highest composite score considered in the evaluation process.
The optional writing section on the ACT is not required, nor is the writing subscore used in the application review process.
SAT Subject Tests
All candidates, whether they submit scores from the SAT or ACT, are requested to submit scores from three SAT Subject Tests of their choice.
The scores from writing portion on the SAT and the optional writing portion of the ACT will not be used in place of a Subject Test.
*Note to Early Action Applicants:
Given the Early Action deadline of November 1, the Committee on Admissions recognizes that applicants may not be able to meet the SAT Subject Test requirements.
Those candidates are welcome to submit an Early Action application, and the application will be considered complete and reviewed in its entirety.
Candidates applying under the Early Action plan who have not yet taken three Subject Tests should still register to take the tests in the event they are deferred from Early Action to Regular Decision.
If there are extenuating circumstances which prevent an applicant from submitting three SAT Subject Test scores, the applicant should provide a written explanation to the Committee on Admissions to be included with the application.
TOEFL
The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required of candidates studying in non-US educational systems and whose native language is not English.
Please contact either the Educational Testing Service (ETS) or the American College Testing Program (ACT) for details about this exam.
If you will graduate from a school with a final examination such as the British A-Levels, German Abitaur, French Baccalaureat, or International Baccalaureate, you will need to submit both Projected and Final results.
These should be included in the Secondary School Report sent from your college counselor, teacher or the Head of School.
A very limited number of need-based scholarships is available to students who are neither US Citizens or US permanent residents and who demonstrate financial need.
Students who wish to be considered for one of these awards should indicate their intent on the Application for Undergraduate Admission and will be asked to submit an International Student Financial Aid Application.
For further details, please see the Office of Student Financial Services website.
Due to time zone differences, we will initially try to communicate with you via email.
Therefore, we strongly suggest you regularly check the email account you have provided us for any updates or requests from our office.
Similarly, notify us if any change in email, address, telephone contact information.
Should you have unusual or unique circumstances regarding your application and/or have difficulty submitting required documents, please consult directly with one of admissions officers below.

The Office of International Programs at Georgetown provides a wide array of services and programming for incoming and current international students.
For more information about these services click here.
Enrolling students who do not hold U.S. citizenship, excluding Permanent Residents, are required to complete an Immigration Questionnaire (IQ).
You may download the IQ at http://oip.georgetown.edu/isss/vsq.htm.
Send the IQ with the required supporting documents to the Office of International Programs (OIP) as soon as possible.
This will allow OIP to issue visa documents to those students who need to apply for an F-1 or J-1 student visa, and to send information to you about International Pre-Orientation.
Accepted international students will also be required to submit a recent Statement of Finances to our office.
