<p>One never knows, but if I got to vote on the Adcom, I’d vote yes.
Good luck!</p>

<p>Georgetown isn’t on the Common App. Also, you should NEVER mention another school’s merits OR weaknesses in your application. Also, your religious preferences or experiences don’t really matter for GU. It’s a diverse and liberal community and you being Christian is going to have nothing to do with whether you are admitted or denied.</p>

<p>Impressive stats, and your interest in dance is pretty eye-catching. I would say you’re in, probably mid-reach to high-reach (just because it’s Georgetown). By CC standards I guess you didn’t take many ap classes, but that probably depends on what your school provided. Did you take most or all the AP’s available in your school/is your schedule one of the most rigorous? </p>
