Anyway my friend is a really smart kid, but somewhere in highschool freshman year he lost all drive and it took him until sophmore year to realize what he was doing…I’m not going to give you his life story. Anyway right now he is probably sitting on a 3.0 to 3.2 GPA and wanted to know if he should even bother applying to his dream school Georgetown. He is going to the LeadAmerica CSLC this summer and will be visitng Georgetown while he is there. He’s worked for Summer Recreation programs, attended Brown University’s Summer High School and is a varsity football athelete. Also he is routinely a worship leader at church. Not including the writing section he only score a 1230 on the SAT and that pretty much crushed his morale. Believe when I tell you he has the drive and is one of those kids that everyone would be surprised to hear isn’t top 10 to 15% of the class…I believe his essay can show that. I told him that GW would probably be a better match, but his bent on Georgetown. He also the only child of African immigrant parents and is lower middle class I guess…if that helps at all.
