Georgetown's own application — the same essays as Washington, DC: a short activity essay plus the long personal essay and the SFS essay.
GU-Q does not use the Common App. You apply through Georgetown's application (georgetown.edu/apply) and choose the Qatar campus. The essays are Georgetown's: a half-page on an activity, the one-page personal essay, and the School of Foreign Service question on a global issue. An alumni or admissions interview is offered to applicants. If the Georgetown prompts did not load, use the "Load Georgetown University supplement" button on this application.
