<p>I was accepted to both, and really want to go to Georgetown-- I've been uber involved in politics in North Dakota . I staffed on two statewide campaigns last fall, am working on a political action committee for funding progressive candidates for state legislature, organized rallies against a gay marriage ban in ND and against privatizing Social Security... the second one made CNN and MSNBC because it occurred while President Bush was in Fargo, I'm currently interning for my Congressman in Fargo (who was cool enough to do letters of rec for college for me), etc, and I have my foot in the door really well for working in the DC office. </p>
<p>Unfortunately, after some fiasco when Bush was here involving the infamous Fargo do-not-admit list (42 area citizens including me were banned from going in the arena where the president was speaking and it got leaked to the local/regional newspaper and published, which turned into a national story and may have a federal investigation upcoming after a similar incident occurred in CO) my parents want me as far from DC as possible because they kind of hate the fact that I want to stay involved in politics and try to make a career out of it. </p>
<p>Its getting to the point where they are probably going to make me go to Brown (which makes me sound like an ungrateful !#$%, I know, lol), but I want to know if anyone agrees with their reasoning-- They think that brown will give me a "more rounded undergrad experience" and allow me to explore more things, like music and art (which i like, but don't have a real avid interest in) and are positive I can't/won't do that at Georgetown. Going to Georgetown was kind of a dream, and I'm kind of mad they are trampling on it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.</p>
