What the numbers say about Georgetown

The reported middle 50% spans 160 points, from 1390 to 1550. A planning score near or above 1590 gives you a target above that historical range, not an admission guarantee.
The reported section midpoints are 740 Reading and Writing and 750 Math. Use the lower section as the first place to look for recoverable points in your own score split.
The Scorecard snapshot reports a 13% acceptance rate. That rate describes a past applicant pool and should not be read as your personal admission probability.
Reported outcomes include a 95% completion rate and $103,494 in median earnings 10 years after entry. Compare those figures with cost and program fit, not in isolation.
