[</em>] Why I think I was accepted/rejected/waitlisted: probably my low numbers compared to others, and the competition within my school of those applying to MSB
[*] Other thoughts: After seeing everyone else’s posts as to who got rejected with their amazing stat’s, i was expected to be rejected. Although I would LOVE to go there, I’m not surprised at all. Congrats to all of those who made it!</p>
<p>“I cant even type anymore Georgetown was the last school on my list I wanted to go to.”</p>
<p>NYJeff, I am completely with you in the devastation. It has been my dream school for two years. It was the last school on MY list that I hadn’t been rejected by when I found out. I wish you peace. It hurts.</p>

[<em>] Extracurriculars: 4-year debater, national qualifier. Literary magazine, NHS, science club, math club, community service for the MDA
[</em>] Why I think I was accepted/rejected/waitlisted: Had to be the essays/recs. My GPA is low because of Fr/Soph years and I think the recs made up for that. Also, I wrote one essay I was really proud of, about how I want to do Constitutional law, and the best possible place for me to prepare for that is Georgetown undergrad.
[li] Other thoughts: I was shocked to get my acceptance, partly because my first two years’ GPA was not good. Also because I wasn’t sure that even my 4.3 average for Jr/Sr year would compare with stratospheric GPAs elsewhere. (My school makes it a lot harder to get your GPA much higher than that, and I think we grade a little harder than most. And the fact that we don’t rank means comparisons are kinda hard.)[/li][/ul]</p>
