Your School Is Extremely Elitest/Stuck-Up

I’m sorry. Princeton does not revolve around you and neither does the rest of the world. When Princeton made these institutional rules, they had taken into many considerations which might be out of your mental scope. If you have complaints about the rule, call them up and ask. If not, don’t call an institution elitest because they don’t accept transferers.
Another well-reputed program, Wharton, does not take transferers as well. Some simple reason is due to the fact that they only have a limited number or seats and students applying as transferers will not go through the rigorous scrutinizing process as their freshman applicants. Furthermore, if they allowed you to apply as freshman, then you have an advantage over the rest of the actual applicant pool.
If you’re unhappy with Georgetown, transfer. Don’t go bashing the Ivies because you could not get into them in the first place. I have no grudge against people but I despise those that complain about this and that as unfair when it is not the educational institution but the student who is at fault. While Ivies or Well-Reputed Colleges do turn away well-qualified candidates, it serves no purpose for these rejected applicants nor for others to hear the bashing and complaints. Believe me, I would feel the same way as you,AFalcon10, with the unfairness of the system but that’s life. Not everything in life is fair to begin with, get use to it as everyone here probably has in one way or another. Good luck at picking a school that would like you as a student but I cannot see what is wrong with Georgetown since you elected to go there in the first-place. :p
