I serve as a youth rep on a city-funded Youth Services Board headed by the Vice Mayor, on which I work with city officials to increase community involvement of youth through youth summits and various other events

I am the president of my school’s chapter of the “Help the Homeless” council: Last year, we raised over 20,000 dollars and helped decrease the number of homeless students in our district by almost 200

I am the secretary of the student government association (not super notable but thought I’d add)

I am the business manager of my school’s yearbook

ESSAYS AND RECS:

I am planning on writing about my experiences interacting with diverse kids in the writing enrichment program I helped start, and tie it into how GU is a diverse community as a whole. Hopefully, my essays are going to be well written and personal! I am getting two recs from teachers who like me a lot, one of which is the faculty advisor for the writing enrichment program.

thanks!

Your ECs seem really strong, and demonstrate a bent towards government, which Georgetown will like. Your GPA is very strong, and the retake should bring up your SAT IIs. Overall, I think you have quite a strong chance, although you should be aware that Georgetown is one of the few schools where the early round is actually more competitive than the regular round. Good luck!
