<p>Hook: This summer I took a Journalism class through Harvard SSP, and my professor is one of the lead reporters for ABC 7 Washington DC, and she wrote me a recommendation (and on official ABC News letterhead :) )</p>

<p>I hope that this recommendation from a professional journalist (hopefully known by Gtown adcoms) will make up for somewhat low test scores.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Anybody? :)</p>

<p>You have good stats/ SAT’s are a bit lower than some and I think Gtown likes to see really high boards… but you have a good shot I’d say.</p>

4

<p>Thanks. Anybody else? C’mon</p>

5

<p>great shot…but the SAT should be higher, I know its a hastle but all you need is like 100 points more= 2100. </p>

<p>Community service?? or do they not look at that…</p>

<p>2100 would certainly help, but your GPA is very good. I think you have a very good chance.</p>
