Georgetown Law’s Fall 2027 Early Decision application opens September 1, 2026, and March 1, 2027 is the strongly recommended deadline. The program is binding, and Georgetown says ED applicants typically receive a decision about 4–6 weeks after the file is complete.

Georgetown says ED applicants receive priority review. That is a real procedural advantage; Georgetown does not publish an ED-specific admit rate that would let anyone state a verified admissions-odds boost.
