<p>Regarding the acceptance of AP/IB credits, I don’t think Georgetown accepts many. From what I can understand, they would take Eng Lang OR Lit, math (4 or 5 on Calc), and maybe a social science. They will not take US History and Latin is used for placement. At Georgetown which has a big core that still leaves 10 or 11 courses to take. </p>
<p>Williams has very loose distribution requirements. Three classes in three areas and one or two of those could be your major(s) and minor. So I see Williams as far less restrictive than Georgetown. None of the highly selective schools give you tons of credit for APs and other previous work.</p>
<p>I suspect the campus feel and student camaraderie would be pretty different, too.</p>
