First Year Application

We look forward to working with you throughout the admissions process. Please visit the General Information page for first-year applicants to learn more about the Georgetown University application process. For important information about the application process, we recommend you to review the Information for Applicants document.

Georgetown Application Submission

Step One – Complete and submit the Georgetown Application. Filling out this form should only take you ten to fifteen minutes. This form creates your official admissions file and allows us to track and connect any documents or standardized testing sent in support of your application. Submission of the Georgetown Application also initiates the alumni interview, conducted between September and February for first year applicants.

Within 24 hours of submitting the Georgetown Application, you will receive an email with instructions on how to create your application account, so you can begin working on your additional required application forms. Please contact our office if you do not receive this email, please do not submit another Georgetown Application.

Step Two – Complete and submit your additional required application forms. These forms will allow you to tell us more about yourself and include your chosen school and major at Georgetown, activities, standardized testing updates, and your essays. Once you log in to your application account, please complete all additional required application forms by the deadline. (Early Action: November 1, or Regular Decision: January 10).

Important Note: The Recommendations Request form will ask you to provide the names and email addresses of your high school counselor and recommending teacher(s). Emails are sent to them automatically to request these documents for your application. Please complete this form as soon as you have secured the correct contact information for your recommenders. The remaining additional required application forms can be completed over time and are due no later than your application deadline.
