Hi guys, I need to let out some stress about the Georgetown Acceptances coming out next weekend so here we go. I applied EA to the NHS as a human science major.

ACT: 32
SAT: 1310
Subject tests: Bio E (630), Chem (670), Math 2 (620)
GPA: 4.171/4.0
School does not rank because it makes people “feel bad”
White, Female, from CT public high school, my family is ~ 100K/year

Courseload
I’ve taken 7 AP classes over the past 4 years - Bio, Lang, APUSH, Gov, Latin, Physics, and AB Calc
I’ve taken several honors courses
All my electives are science related, PLTW is a set of classes for students who want to become doctors.

EC
Captain of varsity crew team - highly competitive team, I’ve been a state and regional champion twice
National Honor Society and Latin Honor Society
Awarded for excellence in Latin by state of CT, magna cum laude on national latin exam
Work as a lifeguard during the summer and teach skating lessons in the winter
Participate in tons of fundraisers for the crew team, I’ve raised around $50,000 on my own

Shadowed dermatologist for 10 weeks

Essays
Personal essay was about how my OCD actually has a positive effect on my life
School specific essay compared discovering the human condition through the Aeneid to discovering it through science
Activity essay was about crew and how it taught me to take pride in a job well done, even if we weren’t rewarded

Letters of rec
I had one written by my junior year PLTW teacher, he liked me a lot and knew I was actually taking the class because I want to pursue it.
I had another written by my PreCalc teacher junior year who loved me, I did super well in her class and she saw how hard I worked and she recommended my for AB Calc senior year.

My interview was okay, my person was kind of quiet and it only lasted about 30 minutes.
I also have 2 other letters of recommendation being written by a man who sits on the board of regents and a man who donates a lot of money to the school.

LMK how you think this will go for me! Anything helps!
