<p>Chance me? Georgetown University, GWU, and AU
I've been dreaming of going to Gtown's McDonough School of Business for some time now. Please be honest-- any opinions are greatly appreciated! Other schools of interest are George Washington U and The American University. Hoping to pursue international business. Probably applying EA to Georgetown.</p>

<p>Other
-I organized a benefit recital with my best friend for the Japan Earthquake Relief and Pacific Tsunami Fund shortly after those horrific earthquakes hit Japan. We organized everything through a site called Citizen Effect. Planning it all took an extensive amount of time, but the hardest part was getting our repertoire up to par (it was a piano concert) because we each had to perform ~45 mins of memorized pieces. We held 5 different concerts at 4 different venues. Our original fundraising goal was $3000, but after the first 2 concerts, we upped it to $5000. At the end of the whole thing we managed to raise $5,060 for Japan. I'm really proud of what we did and I had a wonderful time doing this all in the process. If I have no other hook, I'm hoping this will be it...</p>
<p>I am also currently learning French via Rosetta Stone. Besides music, language is my greatest skill and true passion! Hoping to learn as many new languages as I can so I can travel everywhere in my future business endeavors. </p>
<p>Thanks so much for reading over this, and again, I value all input greatly!</p>
