Essays (rating 1-10, details): My main essay was about a backpacking expedition in New Mexico when I led my patrol for 8 days. We aided a hiker during a hail/rain storm on top of the steepest peak on the mountain range. I also spoke about my overall BSA career and how it shaped who I am (9). My ‘why Georgetown’ essay consisted of my appreciation of Georgetown’s history and programs. I like business, politics, and computer science/research, and D.C./Georgetown is a place where they all mix together. I also love the humanities, and I felt that Georgetown would be the only place where one could study math/compsci while also learning more about philosophy and politics (8).
