First off, I am a junior who will be applying EA to GU this coming year.

No offense, but I dont think a great essay explaining why " your friend/you/whomever" got bad grades becasue of lack of interest and motivation will increase your chances of being admitted.

Its not like georgetown doesnt have any other URMs( what does that stand for?) and minority’s applying, with much better stats, who were motivated throughout their tenure in highschool for them to just pick this guy. I dont think that would help as much as expected ( if at all).

The GPA is pretty low, even if the person took AP’s and honors classes ( ex: person in my HS had 7 ap classes, 6 honors, 3.9 uw gpa, 1380 on sats, and pretty good EC’s, was rjected).

Is this person good enough to get recruited for football?

also, George Washington U is by no means an easy school to get into with those stats.

Overall, I wish whomever is applying the best of luck, and hopefully we will both be able to see each other on the hilltop one day…
