<p>It’d be kinda cool if everyone who is applying to GU made a little profile that we could update when admissions are announced. I think it’s helpful for applicants to get a feel for where they stand in relation to everyone else and for non-seniors to get an idea of what type of students apply to GU.</p>

<p>“Everyone else” does not equal random people who post on CC. So I don’t really understand why people make these threads. It’s hardly an accurate sample pool of your competition. Ah well, have fun!</p>

I’m also applying to Barnard, Brown, Columbia, Wellesley, Smith, Wesleyan, Bryn Mawr, Williams, and some cheap safeties (I really like LACs but I’m applying to Georgetown because of the FLL)</p>
<p>I feel like this nice little format of ours doesn’t really get to the real person at all. But oh well.</p>
<p>What is “FLL”? I’m curious because Georgetown is a fairly conservative school and all of your other choices are quite liberal (except Williams which is moderate to liberal).</p>

here is a quote from the santa barbara letter
“The ELC designation recognizes your place among the top 4% of seniors in your class. It also guarantees you admission to UC Santa Barbara…”
the admit rate for school like san diego is VERY high and almost 60% at UCB and UCLA, so that’s good too.
