How this school serves students from different economic backgrounds, including Pell students, first-generation pathways, and long-term mobility outcomes.
Georgetown University admits about 12.9% of applicants. Among admitted students who submitted scores, the middle 50% scored between 1,390 and 1,550 on the SAT (interquartile range), or between 31 and 35 on the ACT. 10.1% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants and 16.1% are first-generation college students — figures that reflect the institution's selective admissions profile. Transfer enrollment is limited, at 5.2% of the student body. Azimuth ranks Georgetown University #504 for access among nonprofit four-year institutions. The access ranking reflects the structural tension common to highly selective institutions: at an admit rate of 12.9%, the number of Pell-eligible and first-generation students Georgetown enrolls is constrained by the narrowness of the admission funnel itself. The six-year graduation rate is 94.8%, with 86.7% of Pell-eligible students completing within that window — a completion pattern that holds even within a comparatively small low-income cohort. Azimuth ranks Georgetown University #251 for mobility among nonprofit four-year institutions. Median earnings for low-income graduates reach $150,200 on a historical 10-year Scorecard measure, placing this cohort in the 99.9 percentile for low-income graduate median earnings among nonprofit four-year institutions. The pattern mirrors what Azimuth's access-versus-outcomes analysis describes for selective institutions: low-income students who gain admission complete at high rates and achieve some of the strongest post-graduation earnings in the country — but the institution's admission scale limits how many students benefit from that pathway. The gap between what Georgetown's outcomes show it could deliver for mobility and what its admission volume does deliver is the structural constraint on its access and mobility standing.
