Provide the contact information of your current high school counselor (preferred), advisor, teacher, or principal who will be able to speak to your overall academic readiness for the program and can verify your current GPA.

International Student
Requirements
International students participating in the Academies are not required to obtain a visa or submit TOEFL scores. For more information on international student requirements, including mandatory health insurance, please visit our Resources for International Students page.
This is the application for the Academies. If admitted, you will be able to register for any of our Academies (as availability allows). Please note: An offer of admission does not guarantee your seat in an Academy. Registration is conducted on a first-come, first-served basis, and to secure a seat in your chosen program, you must register and submit tuition payment.
IMPORTANT
Upon starting your application, you will receive a NetID and GUID. A NetID (username) is the login credential that will allow you to access the various electronic resources made available to you while participating in our program. Your single-use password is “gu + the last 6 digits of your GUID”, and will expire after logging in with it for the first time.
You are REQUIRED to enroll in Georgetown’s Duo two-factor authentication service, install Duo on your mobile device (you’ll use this device to approve login push notifications from Duo), enroll in Georgetown’s online password management system, and change your single-use password using the password management system.
Summer applications are reviewed starting in late fall. Our Admissions Office only reviews completed applications, which include the applicant’s personal statement essay, a response from the applicant’s reference, and an application fee (if submitted after January 31). Admission decisions are released as they are made. Please allow up to three weeks after we have received your completed application for an admission decision to be emailed to your primary email address.
Note: Email is the primary form of communication throughout the application and admission process. Only the primary email address listed in the application will receive the automatic communications and application updates. Please ensure that both parent/guardian and student emails are entered correctly within the application. If there is a change in either email address, please inform our office immediately at highschool@georgetown.edu. We strongly recommend that you double-check your Spam folder for potential missed emails from the University.
Deadline Dates:
