English Teacher and AP Gov Teacher, focusing on my abilities as a student and as a leader. Hopefully they'll be phenomenal</p>

<p>Interviews:
My Georgetown interview went beautifully. I had a chill old guy who was the VP of a pasta company. We talked for an hour and 45 minutes, hearty conversation filled with lots of laughter. The guy wound up asking me my opinions on how Rome fell, and I also wound up talking about my grandpa as a Chinese ambassador to Rhodesia a few decades ago. All in all, I had a gut feeling that it went well.</p>

<p>Essays:
I have faith in my essays; I sang my heart out and gave it my all. Very personal, lighthearted, and humorous.</p>

<p>-Thanks in advance =D</p>

<p>Bump. Anyone?</p>

<p>This isn’t a chance. I just wanted to say that “varsity choir” sounds intense.</p>

<p>^Lol, thanks. It’s tough, but fun. We’re doing pop songs like “I’m Yours” by Jason Mraz acoustically. It’s really epic.</p>

<p>On a side note… bump? Plz guys, I really need some input haha.</p>

<p>I think you’re good to go at the first 4. The others, well who knows, you’re in the running at most.</p>

<p>One thing, however, is alumni interviews don’t count for much.</p>

<p>your scores look as good as they have to be for the top schools. i think what you need to do is show how your ec’s are focused and pick a few to emphasize and show the significance of on ur application.
you want to make yourself stand out and culminate as a person, not a list of ec’s</p>

<p>80/20 at first 4 schools. 50/50 for Amherst and Williams. 25/75 for Dartmouth. 1/99 for Brown, Yale, Harvard (sorry your app just doesn’t stand out from the 30,000 other applicants).</p>
