father went to Georgetown law and uncle went to Georgetown undergrad as well as law</p>

<p>I really want to go to Georgetown. Other schools I'm interested in are USC (california), UVA, University of Michigan, Duke, Vanderbilt, and Upenn.
I also might apply to Harvard becasue my brother is currently attending. Is that a waste of time to apply there?
Any advice/opinions would be greatly appreciated (good or bad) as well as other college recommendations</p>

<p>Apply to Harvard because there is no reason not too (especially if your bro goes there and is doing well)
Georgetown is a match
USC is amatch
UVA is a match
U Michigan is a match
Duke is a match
Vanderbilt is a match
UPENN is a reach</p>

<p>apply to all the schools because you defintiely have chances</p>

<p>georgetown, duke and uva (OOS) are reaches, not matches.</p>

<p>your recs look good... but i cant find a passion</p>

<p>but i think with a 4.0 and a little higher SAT ur set at Georgetown</p>

<p>any other thoughts? Also 3 other students from my school all of whom have great grades plan on applying to Georgetown as well. One is guaranteed to get in, one I probably have a better chance than and one is about equal to me. Does this mean that my chances of being accepted will be less?</p>
