<p>I want to go into the health profession, but have a love of languages, so Georgetown seemed like a perfect fit. I would go in as a Biology of Global Health Major/Language Minor (French with Turkish and Russian classes).
So, that being said, I would love if you could give my stats a look? Words of wisdom are also very much appreciated!</p>

<p>gkarlovich,
I’m not sure if I should be chancing you because these things are never certain, but here goes anyways. I’d say that you have a very good chance given your involvements in clubs, and sports. Aside from that, you’ve taken some rigorous workload and when you add your volunteer work, well you stand out. I also love languages and I have some clubs and sports in common with you. I’d say that your personal essay will pay a vital role as well, but overall you can get in. Of course things are uncertain but I wish you luck this coming year! And if it helps, your overall stats and scores are above mine :)! </p>

<p>Go Hoyas!!</p>
