International Admissions

All applicants are reviewed within the context of the high school and educational system in which they study and the country in which they reside. There are no specific admissions quotas based on where students attend high school. Citizenship does not impact the admissions process, but does play a role in the financial aid process.

Admitted students who have requested financial aid, and who are not US citizens or permanent residents, will be considered for a limited number of need-based scholarship awards. To be considered for international student financial aid, the applicant will need to indicate their intent to apply for financial aid on the Georgetown Application or the Common Application. Students should then submit the CSS Financial Aid Profile in order to apply for aid. 

Yes, all applicants to the University must submit either SAT or ACT scores as part of their application.

Georgetown recommends, but does not require, results from an English language proficiency test for students who attend a school where English is not the language of instruction.

• Georgetown accepts results from the DET (Duolingo English Test), IELTS, or TOEFL (PBT, iBT and IPT Plus versions), to fulfill this recommendation.

While Georgetown strives to make alumni interviews available to every applicant, some international students will have that requirement waived due to a scarcity of available alumni volunteers in some parts of the world. If you are assigned to an interviewer, you are required to complete that interview. If your interview is waived, it will not have a negative effect on your admissions decision. Georgetown accepts InitialView interviews, but they are not required and do not factor into the alumni interview process.
