There’s been a bit of rumbling about people getting in with lesser stats because of their ability to pay, and while i believe this is one possible aspect to their admissions, it’s also not quite fair to write it off as the end all and be all of decision factors. i had lesser stats than a lot of people that were deferred on this thread AND i applied for FA, but I was still accepted. I do not believe it is your intention to do so, but in saying that kids might be getting in just because they can pay is almost demeaning to their accomplishments. Maybe Georgetown did shy away from their alleged need-blind status this year, OR maybe these kids that had slightly lower SAT scores or GPAS had something else to offer. I believe that my recs and essays helped me out a ton, and I was proud and pleasantly surprised to learn that Georgetown’s admission process wasn’t quite as formulaic as I had always heard and assumed. I was under the impression that the statistics in the threads on this message board proved that Georgetown was accepting students, not statistics, so it is disheartening to see so many people quickly assuming that they were in fact accepting money over all of that.
