No my friend is not me…I want to go to UMich. Anyway, I didn’t say his essay would be about how he lost motivation or anything I was giving some backgground info…he’s a great writer I’m sure he can do better. You all are just confirming what I told him. However I think it’s more than numbers. He’ll find out when he applies there. Oh and he lives in RI and no one scouts football outside of RI. My friend has all the potential in the world and his numbers don’t shot that. Seeing how he had a 78 freshman (horrible slacking) 90 sophmore year and even higher this year I believe. His essay will be great I can count on that and so will his recs. We’ll see what happens though. I was looking at stats and and Georgetown did have been in his range even thought he number is low. Maybe I’m defending him because I’m his friend and I know his drive…whatever we’ll see next year.

BTW, he lost his drive more as a stupid (yes very stupid) way of rebelling and proving a point that everyone needed to back off. He was expected to be the golden child all his life and a B+ was considered and F…he got tired of it. Not to say that death there were not deaths of his grandfather, older cousin and her mother a long the way. Also the fact that his family is a bunch of underachievers and all eyes are on him and if he doesn’t do great things then everyone will frown on him.
