First Year Application

Early Action Deadline Flexibility: The Office of Undergraduate Admissions will be flexible in regards to the Early Action application deadline for students who live in areas of the country recently impacted by natural disasters (California, Texas, etc.) or school closures/disruptions due to strikes (e.g., Illinois). We recognize that your college counselor or teachers may also encounter difficulties in submitting documents on your behalf. Please note that we will continue to accept documents beyond the November 1 deadline and this will not negatively impact your application review.

We encourage you to begin your application process as soon as possible so we may open your admissions file and track any documents sent in support of your application.

Please visit the General Information page for first-year applicants to learn more about Georgetown application process. For important information about the 2020 application process, we recommend you to review the Information for Applicants document.

Georgetown Application Submission

Step One – Take a few moments to fill out and submit the Georgetown Application. This should only take you ten to fifteen minutes. Please submit this form as soon as possible so that we may create your official admissions file. We can then track and connect any documents or standardized testing sent in support of your application. The Application also initiates the alumni interview process.

Immediately after submitting the Georgetown Application you should complete Steps Two and Three. In Step Three, submission of the Application Supplement need not be completed until the application deadline.

Step Two – Within 24 hours of submitting the Georgetown Application, you will receive an email with instructions on how to create your application account. Once your account has been created, you will be able to complete and submit your Georgetown Application Supplement and send email requests to your College Counselor and Teacher(s) regarding your required recommendations.

Step Three – Once you login to your application account, please click on the link to continue your application for the upcoming academic year. Please read the instruction page entirely and then proceed to the recommendation request form. Please note that the recommendation form requires the email addresses of your high school counselor and recommending teacher(s) so that an email requesting your supporting documents will be sent to them automatically. Please complete this section as soon as you have secured the correct contact information for your recommenders. If for some reason you are unable to obtain or provide the email addresses, please contact the admissions office and we will be happy to provide additional guidance. The remaining pages of the supplement can be completed over time and are due no later than your application deadline.
