While this narrative on God and History are very encouraging to explain Georgetown University, for 2011, not one undergraduate was from a D.C. PUBLIC SCHOOL. As the top tier school in Washington D.C. for higher learning, Georgetown has consistently censored by way of multiple programs, any way for a local boy or girl to come and study here (1).
