[/ul]Reflection[ul]
[] Strengths: Definitely essays. I wrote some pretty off-the-wall stuff for the short answers too.
[] Weaknesses: extracurriculars, SAT (considered high for my school, but average for Georgetown…)
[] Why you think you were accepted/deferred/denied: I think my essays were the strongest aspect of my app. I’m relatively well-rounded, I believe.
[] Where else are you applying: UChicago, USC, Stanford, some UC’s
[/ul]General Comments: I didn’t really expect to get in… I really, really didn’t. Where I’m from, getting into a UC is the ultimate goal, but I thought I’d apply to Georgetown as a shot in the dark (like my Stanford and UChicago apps).
