Thanks! All of your feedback has all been extremely helpful. Is there anyone who can speak to the way students make themselves stand out at Georgetown? I just feel like there isn’t that much room to be innovative, especially for those majoring in the social sciences. I’m politically active, and education reform is my main issue. As a sociology major, being in an urban city would be very helpful to study education, get involved in DC public schools, etc. But I just think that there are going to be SO many GU students with very similar interests and goals, and I dunno…do you think there are enough financial resources at GU to go around (for students wanting to start service projects, etc.)? And do you think grad schools might be seeing similar resumes over and over again as they compete for the same programs (if that makes sense)?

Sorry to focus so much on grad school because I REALLY do enjoy living in the present moment. But, you know, it’s something to consider. I love them both, but Swat and GU are definitely, definitely different environments.
