GW and AU are both schools that a lot of people transfer out of (as is Conn College and some of the other schools that make the “worst” lists). Georgetown loses some people to transfer as well: it’s not that 1 out of every 14 students at Georgetown doesn’t graduate college in 6 years or less, it’s that some of them end up doing it elsewhere.
