Our acceptance rates, Georgetown first, against the national average.

Seven years of results, with a team whose record across the country’s top schools is not close. Georgetown leads, at a 75% admit rate against roughly 12% nationally. National rates shown are approximate and should be verified against the current cycle.

The Georgetown record

Our signature result.


75%GEORGETOWN ADMIT RATE

Well above the roughly 12% national rate.

Georgetown is the school we know best, and our seven-year rate there stands apart from the national number and, we believe, from any firm working the DMV. It is not a lucky outlier. It is the center of our record.

How we count

We report results honestly, the way the strongest firms do. Many of our students apply Early Decision or Single Choice Early Action and are admitted to that one early school, so they apply nowhere else. We include a result only where our own assessment judged the student a feasible candidate for that school, and if a student applies against our recommendation, we do not count it.
