<p>Hi everyone! So I love Georgetown, but I'm not too sure about my chances to get in, so I'd like some opinions on whether I'm a good candidate or not! And of course, I'll chance back :)</p>

<p>Just some side notes:
I really do love Georgetown, and have for many years. I did my official campus tour/info session in June of 2010 after my freshman year (don't know if that counts for anything, demonstrated interest maybe?) and when I attended NYLF, it was on the Georgetown campus. I'm hoping I can use both of these to discuss my interest in the school during my interview. I also have a family friend who is a Georgetown double-grad (undergrad and law school). What would you guys do in that situation? I don't know him well enough to really ask for a letter of rec, plus I already have 5.. but he said he'd like to help me in the admissions process at georgetown, so is there anything else he would be able to do to help? Not trying to be sneaky, just want to use my resources!</p>
