Too Overdone??
For my Georgetown EA essay, I was thinking of writing a narrative for the personal essay as if I were a SFS student...how i would be involved w/ the school, classes (with professor's names), etc. while also adding a lot of elements about my own personality, likes, interests, etc. Is that something too cliche or overdone?

I think it would show your eagerness...but I think it could be risky. What if they think you're a little TOO Hoya-obsessed?
