Essays: Haven’t started yet, but for the Why Georgetown Essay I’m planning to write about how my specific interests mesh well with Georgetown and DC
Teacher Recommendation: I haven’t gotten them yet but they will presumably be strong, one from my teacher advisor for the club I started who likes me a lot, another from my AP Calculus teacher who also really likes me (I got an A in her class and a 5 on the exam) and who historically writes good recs
Counselor Rec: Ok, it will be from a brand new counselor since my old one retired
Additional Rec: Hoping to get one from the vice mayor of my city who is also the head of the Youth Services Board

Georgetown is definitely my top choice after touring (and falling in love) so any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I know my SAT II scores are fairly low so I’m going to retake and hope to improve. I’ll also be retaking the ACT hopefully to get a 35 unless any of you recommend otherwise. Thanks!
