<p>Any and all input is appreciated, whether you know Georgetown admissions inside and out or don’t know the first thing about it:</p>
<p>GPA:
Iona College - 3.58 - 50 credits
Nassau Community College - very likely 4.0 - 12 credits
(not very likely to hold much weight, I know, but it’d give me a 3.66 between the two schools)
Weaknesses in transcript: C+ in Calc 1, C in Management, B in Micro, everything else is either a B+ or A
Studied business at Iona, Honors Program student with a hefty scholarship</p>
<p>SAT: 1320
High School GPA: ooh, let’s say, 3.5, I never got an exact # on a 4.0 scale</p>
<p>ECs:
High School - Captain of track team, ran own website since 2000, ran father’s campaign for the school board (this resulted from the Mepham High School football scandal in August 2003, which is also a really strong subject for essays and recs)
College - President of Iona College Republicans, general member of SGA</p>
<p>Work experience: Part-time work & odd-jobs with dad’s business since 1999; summer volunteer internship for local legislator in 2004 & 2005</p>
<p>Essays: Hard for me to be my own critic, but I think I did an excellent job on the essays
Recs: 2 Iona professors both of whom probably gave ringing endorsements: one straight-out promised to “rave about me” (this same one is a Christian Brother who teaches Humanities and Theology at Iona and is very well-established and respected) (the other one came from my Micro professor)</p>
<p>Interview: My instincts say it went VERY well. My interviewer was familiar with the local politics and issues I’ve been involved with, and seemed to be suggesting that they’d hold a LOT of weight with adcom (he actually said, and I quote, “this may be even more important than your grades to admissions”). Besides that we had a great general conversation about the nature and inherent difficulty of business ethics.</p>
<p>Applying to MSB for a Management major.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance. Also for all you current Georgetown students, if you have any comments about the upperclassmen dorms, I’d appreciate hearing, as (with any luck) I’ll have to get working on that soon.</p>
