Penn was pretty aggressive on the one decision day they've had this year. They rejected quite a few people on LSN, and it was much earlier than normal.
Also, Cornell is much, much smaller than Georgetown, so they probably need to have a different strategy. Georgetown gets by far the most applicants out of the T14, by almost double (around 10k)
Wonder why Georgetown is so popular. It was really a negotiating tool for me, I was considering vandy and UCLA over it. Gtown's employment #s aren't that hot. Regardless, aren't numbers down? I assumed that would make schools more lenient.
For me, Georgetown's intrigue has to do with my career goals being in government rather than BigLaw. But, I think for a lot of people, they know the name and see that it's at the bottom of the T14, so it's something everyone tries for, whether you're blanketing T14, or looking at T20-30. Its place in the "middle" gets it a lot of apps I bet.
