<strong>i would like to major in psychology and french and would LOVE to play the viola in georgetown’s orchestra :)</strong></p>

<p>oh, and i would like to apply EA. good idea, bad idea?</p>

<p>You’ve got a nice resume (congratulations on your good HS record) and a decent shot at G’town. However, since you are a veteran CC’er, you won’t forget that there is no sure thing among selective schools. You’ll be in the running but so will a lot of other qualified kids.</p>

<p>I would say apply as a French major because there’s less competition, I think, for the languages - whereas tons and tons of people want to be psych majors and some, if not many, will outrank you. I forget when I heard this, but Gtwn supposedly does admissions sorted specifically by major.</p>

<p>Thanks! But even if I were to apply as a French major, I could still declare a major in psych later as well, right?</p>

<p>Launguage majors are required to either take another language at an intensive level, complete a degree with business coursework, OR double major. So yeah, you can do whatever you want as long as your schedule permits.</p>

<p>p.s. Violas rock!</p>

7

<p>awesome! </p>

<p>and violas are the best instrument :)</p>
