A sustained history of community service and patient-care involvement read through a Jesuit lens: Georgetown states applicants are expected to show community service, leadership and sustained interest in patient care, and looks for alignment with social justice, public service and health equity. Essentially a national pool — only about 2% in-state — so mission alignment rather than geography is the differentiator.
Watch out: A purely academic profile with no service history is a poor fit for a school whose stated identity is care of others. Note Georgetown states it evaluates its five areas WITHOUT assigning weight to any particular section, so the weighting here reflects stated mission emphasis, not a claimed scoring formula — treat it as softer than schools that publish explicit priorities.
