Georgetown Accepts 22% of Applicants for Class of 2010

The Georgetown University campus paper reports that the University sent admission offers to 3,343 applicants for seats in the Class of 2010.

Over 15,000 people submitted applications to Georgetown this year. Georgetown's overall acceptance rate for the 2005-2006 application season is 22 per cent, about the same as last year's.

Assistant director and systems manager of admissions Melissa Costanzi told The Hoya that she expects approximately half of accepted students to enroll at the University. She doubts that many of the 1,000 students placed on Georgetown's waitlist will receive admissions offers.
