<p>You are a very active participant in many different areas - volunteerism, sports, student council and you have a wonderful gpa and test scores. Any school would love to have a student like you but Georgetown is incredibly selective from what we’ve seen. The students accepted from my daughter’s school had higher gpa’s and test scores, and I saw many wonderful students with very strong applications turned away. </p>

<p>Our daughter did not get into her very top choice schools which were Brown and Dartmouth. She ended up loving Georgetown every bit as much as she had hoped to love those other schools. When educators and parents say “there is a school for everyone” it is very true. A smart well rounded student like yourself will land in a fantastic school. Good luck!</p>
