Not usually one to do this, but I just need to expel some nervous energy before decisions come out lol. I applied early action for McDonough and plan to major in marketing.
My stats:
- SAT: 1470
- ACT: 31
- SAT subject tests: Math 2: 720 US History: 690 Literature: 780
- Weighted GPA: 4.121 Unweighted: not sure, but I think its somewhere around a 3.7 out of 4.0
- I will have taken 9 AP classes by the end of my senior year (AP world, APUSH, AP psych, AP lang, AP calc AB, AP lit, AP Physics 2, AP Latin, and AP Gov). So far I have gotten a 4 on AP world, 5 on AP psych, 5 on APUSH, and a 5 on AP Lang.
My ECs:
- Golf: I played varsity golf all four years and was captain junior and senior years. I was a regionals finalist all four years and competed in states junior and senior years.
- It’s Academic/Quizbowl: I participated in quizbowl all four years and was the co-captain in senior year.
- Animal Welfare Association: I was treasurer of this club junior and senior years.
- Work: I am a summer camp counselor and have been since the summer before 9th grade.
- Latin Honor Society: I was a member for three years and am president now.
- Volunteer: I mainly volunteer with my church to do food drives, backpack drives, gift drives, etc. I also volunteer here and there with other groups that I find interesting, but weren’t significant enough to include on my application.
- DECA: I was a member of DECA, a marketing chapter, in 10th grade. I won second place in districts, was a state finalist, and competed on the international level.
- National Honor Society: I was just a member for three years. Nothing fancy.
- Participated in Georgetown’s International Relations summer institute
- I wrote the 250 word essay about art, the big general one on quiz bowl, and the McDonough specific one on how my grandfather’s business policies in his Popeye’s franchise inspired me to apply to Georgetown’s business school because of their emphasis on ethics.
Awards:
- all that DECA stuff I mentioned earlier (10th grade)
- AP Scholar with Honor (11th grade)
- School specific academic award given based on 3.9+ GPA (9, 10, 11 so far)
- 1st place science fair award (10th grade)
- Junior athletic honor roll (9, 10, 11, 12 grades)
Other Info:
- Recs: I have three from teachers (not including counselor rec) that I am very close with (Lang, Latin, and Calc)
- I am an asian american girl
- not a legacy, so unfortunately I’m not very cozy with the professors (though I did get one of their business cards during the institute)
- I personally thought my interview went really well (we talked for about 45 mins), but it was my interviewer’s first time interviewing so I’m not sure if that will work in my favor or not.
I honestly feel like I am an extremely average applicant, which makes this whole process all the more nerve-wracking. Gtown is my number one, and I’ve been counting down the days until december 15th ever since I submitted my app! This is a pretty quick and dirty summary of my application, so I apologize if it’s not very in depth.
