@romanticninja
what are your stats? just wondering.</p>

<p>Hi everyone. I was one of 8 people deferred from this round. I’m just lost as to what I should do to improve my application by April. Any advice?</p>

<p>accepted as well!</p>

<p>i got accepted too!! where are you guys from?</p>

<p>I applied to and have visited both Georgetown and CMC and I don’t see some similarities, but overall they have VERY different feels to them. I think a large part of that is Georgetown is so much bigger with more Grad programs than CMC and obviously isn’t a Liberal Arts College. I also think they’re very different because of the settings, DC is much different than the LA area and there are very different approaches to living on the west coast versus the east coast… something to watch out for at Georgetown is that it’s almost IMPOSSIBLE to switch majors.</p>

<p>Claremont McKenna college is the best <3</p>

<p>I got accepted as well!</p>

<p>For those of you who got accepted: Congratulations! What are your stats?</p>
