Hundreds of other colleges offer most of the same programs Georgetown does.
Some of the top 100 do not have undergraduate business programs; many don’t have nursing programs; many offer other pre-professional programs (architecture, engineering, etc.) that Georgetown does not. Almost all of them offer a similar set of arts & science majors.

The (relatively) less selective schools that show up anywhere in their rankings would include Ohio State, UCSD, Kentucky, Minnesota, and Maryland. These are all large, public research universities with lower sticker prices (even at OOS rates) than Georgetown. If you want a private school that is less selective than Georgetown, consider Syracuse. It has about 2x as many undergraduates as Georgetown. The Syracuse sticker price is a little lower than Georgetown’s. Syracuse has some merit scholarships (which Georgetown apparently does not). If you want a private school regardless of size, check out the University of Denver (which seems to offer bigger average merit awards, to a higher percentage of students, than Syracuse).
