Georgetown just dropped its 2030 acceptance stats—13% of over 26,900 applicants got in, a slight uptick from last year’s 12%. But here’s the twist: next year, they’re ditching their solo system for the Common App, which could flood their pool with even more applicants—and possibly lower that acceptance rate further. The move opens doors for students who might’ve struggled with the old system, while still upholding their elite academic standards. We heard heartwarming stories: one student pulled over on a Missouri highway with her mom to check her email, another from Brazil was drawn by Georgetown’s global mission and DC’s international affairs scene. The dean confirmed the applicant quality remains sky-high, even as they keep quiet on demographics and school-by-school stats. This shift could reshape who applies—and who gets in—while staying true to Georgetown’s rigorous reputation.

Three D.C. mayoral candidates clashed in a fiery debate over housing, safety, and education, each laying out bold plans to tackle the city’s affordability crisis, youth violence, and crumbling schools. One championed housing expansion and childcare access, another pushed for police reform and accountability, while all three united in demanding an end to federal interference — especially with ICE — pledging to fight through legal channels and Congress. Mental health, teacher retention, and ranked-choice voting in June’s historic primary were also front and center as the candidates raced to win over voters worried about their future in the nation’s capital.
