<p>I'm in the process of applying Early Action to Georgetown. My interview went really well (he didn't tell me what my score was, but he told me he was writing me a great recommendation and that Georgetown would benefit from having me), and I'm getting really great teacher recommendations from my AP US I and AP US II teacher (taught me for two years) as well as the supervisor of the entire social studies department at our school, who I've been working very closely with over the last 24 months.</p>
