<p>Since I still have a little time left, and I am pretty “below-Average” here for CC, but maybe you guys could offer some advice; Am I aiming too high or too low? Any advice on where I should go? </p>

<li>George Wash U</li>
<li>American U</li>
<li>Boston U</li>
<li>Georgetown (Legacy)</li>
<li>John Hopkins</li>
</ol>

<p>(Already shown interest in 1st two)
P. S. And yes I do use many semi-colons</p>

<p>C’mon, anyone feel any sympathy! haha</p>

<p>Though the work is rewarding, why are these people (legally?) paying you below minimum wage??? O_O
Georgetown, JHU, Boston = matches/reaches.</p>

<p>to be brutally honest, GW is a huge waste of money. its over 50k a year for an average learning experience. guessing by the schools you’re applying to, you probably live in maryland or DC, in which case, do yourself a favor and just apply to UMD and save 40k a year! in my opinion UMDCP gives better education than GW. anyways…</p>

<p>American - safety…
GW - match
boston - match
Gtown - reach
JHU - high reach</p>

<p>good luck</p>
