Chance Me Please!

<p>Applying to: Georgetown, GW, Loyola MD, SUNY Bing, SUNY Geneseo, American, Providence
I'm really debating whether or not to submit my Georgetown application. Everyone from my school that applied EA was deferred but none of them were Catholic and Georgetown is Jesuit but I'm not sure of whether or not they have a preference for different religious affiliations. I feel like my stats overall are pretty weak for Georgetown and I'm afraid I'm not going to get into the SUNY schools I applied to because of the spike in applications to state schools this year. Also I'm afraid I'm not going to get enough scholarship money from the private schools I applied to for them to be affordable. I was already accepted to Fordham and Catholic and Fordham did not give me any money or accept me to the Honors College. I was accepted to the Honors College at Catholic but they do not send scholarship information until February. </p>

<p>I also actively participated in Model UN, I've held some kind of leadership position in the club since I was a sophomore. I have not won any awards at conferences but my advisor wrote one of my recommendations so the fact that I do actively participate as opposed to sitting in the back writing notes is evident on my file. </p>
