Applying to Georgetown
We believe you will find Georgetown’s application process highly personalized. Georgetown uses its own application for admission and we are able to coordinate an alumni interview for nearly all candidates. While a candidate’s academic performance is the most important criteria under consideration, accomplishments outside of the classroom, demonstrated commitment to the broader community, and personal qualities such as resiliency, motivation and ambition are certainly considered. It is these qualities that make you an individual and someone who will uniquely add to – and benefit from – the Georgetown University community. We look forward to getting to know you.
Plan a Visit
To experience the university’s rich environment, we invite you to visit our campus or to gather with us online for a virtual information session and student panel. Please see the Visit Georgetown page to register for an upcoming event.
Commitment to Diversity
Georgetown actively seeks and recruits highly talented and motivated students from all backgrounds. The university enrolls more than 6,300 undergraduates from all 50 states and over 130 countries; approximately a third of all students are fluent in more than one language when they arrive on campus. Whether you hail from a small, rural community or a major metropolitan area – or somewhere in between – you will find a place among Georgetown’s dynamic and talented community of students.
Georgetown University meets the full financial need of all eligible undergraduate students and a student’s need for financial assistance does not negatively impact their chances of admissions. In fact, Georgetown nearly doubled the number of incoming students with exceptional financial need – through eligibility for the Pell grant – in the 2024-2025 school year.
Once admitted, every student will have his or her demonstrated financial need met in full. Visit Diversity and Access page of our website to learn more about the Georgetown’s diverse community.
