"Early applications to the School of Nursing and Health Studies more than doubled this year, driving a nearly 10 percent overall increase from last year in early applications to Georgetown.
Overall, more than 4,500 students have applied early to Georgetown between the four schools, compared to 4,051 last year, Charles Deacon, dean of undergraduate admissions, said. He said that this number may increase in the next few days as applications continue to trickle in. Applications had to be postmarked by Nov. 1."
