You know what’s crazy. . .two years out of high school I hardly remembered any of my stats. I had to look up the SAT scores on collegeboard because I honestly couldn’t remember.

Bunch of ECs (three varsity sports; recruited athlete), great essays, amazing interview with the Georgetown dude that I think probably got me accepted after the initial waitlist (I’m a broadcast/communication major, so I’ve always been good at talking to people [I still keep in touch with him every now and then, too]).

Ended up going to Brown University in fall 2005 and getting a 3.5 there. Went to Tulane and got a 2.33. Go figure, eh?
