<p>Standardized testing is the least of my worries, I test well on things like that, sometimes even better than on normal tests. I was actually planning on taking about 3-4 subject tests regardless–they go well with my curriculum this year and I will be taking them just after APs/Finals so it will hopefully work out OK. </p>
<p>My biggest concern regarding the separate Georgetown application is the fact that supplements concerning it, the ones that don’t go directly through me, are also separate. And while I trust my school’s admissions faculty, it seems like they might not put the same amount of effort into those if they have some sort of hidden grudge against the school. </p>
<p>I’m fairly confident about the process as a whole, while fully realizing that I might not get into my first choice, and I do have some safeties that I am also genuinly interested in, even if they wouldn’t be my first pick. I think I do have the maturity to be rejected and handle it with grace–when I was initially applying to my prep-school I didn’t even let myself think about going there until I had that envelope in my hands. </p>
<p>On a sort of side-note, my CC wants me to apply to a certain school, as a safety, but one which I am not really interested in attending. I actually can’t see myself going there at all. When he suggested it, I made some minor protest, but he still added it to my list. I believe he has some personal ties to this school and I’m wondering how to convey to him, without being rude or insulting the school, that I really don’t want to apply there? I have nothing against the school, I just don’t think it’s a good fit for me.</p>
