<p>Thanks for your response, that feedback pretty much matches what I was thinking too. I was deferred from Georgetown EA, so hopefully I fall in the 10% of deferred applicants who are accepted RD!</p>
<p>Yeah Penn is a reach for everyone, but Georgetown looks like a match. I’m just wondering why you were deferred is there anything on your app that’s a red flag?</p>
<p>@ImSoAmbitious: No red flags that I can think of! I’m comfortable with my scores, grades/GPA, essays, recs, ECs, etc…
Georgetown is an extremely competitive and popular school, so obviously no one can expect to get in (especially when they’re only admitting around 15% of EA applicants) but I was mostly confident in myself. Who knows, maybe I was on the borderline, or was just another white girl from New England (I’m guessing they get plenty of those)…I suppose I can only hope for the best in RD now!
Thanks for your response!</p>
<p>I would say you’re certainly qualified to get into either school. Of course, you never know what to expect from the top schools, but you’ve set yourself up in a good position for admission. :)</p>
<p>What drac said is pretty accurate. If you applied to 8 top twenty schools, you’d probably get in a few of them. There isn’t much to say. Your application is solid, but pretty generic at the same time (look around CC, and you’d probably find 10 copies of yourself).</p>
<p>My sister got in, early action. want to connect with her? let me know. and good luck. You have similar stats as her. shes ranked 2 but i think she should make 1 by graduation, and she was president sga for 3 or 4 years. so that may have been it for her since shes doing the international affairs and also philippines citizen.</p>
<p>Hi guys! I would love if some of you know about UVA and how they admit applicants.</p>
<p>So I am International. I moved here when I was 13 from Italy and I had to learn English so I am at a bit of disadvantage compared to American students GPA wise and SAT wise.
