<p>My essays were good, not great. I was getting very tired at that point. Recs were probably the same. I was blown to be deferred</p>

<p>You have a decent chance of getting in, but I think you should get more hooks.</p>

3

<p>..what are hooks</p>

4

<p>^ Something that brings attention to your app- under represented minority, olympic champion, that sort of stuff.</p>

<p>Gosh Roberto, if hooks were easy to get, we'd all have 12 of them!</p>

5

<p>i mean there's not a whole lot i can do to add to that at this point hahaha. im mixed racially but i'm white and chinese...not exactly exciting to the georgetown admissions officers i would imagine. and im pretty sure im not on the olympic track at this point in time.</p>

<p>i thought they would be impressed by my athletics (dance team is a two season sport at my school...a LOT of time), leadership and journalism experience, but apparently the people who apply to this school are gods.</p>

<p>you got deferred with those stats? What on earth did you write on your essay? O.o
Only weakness I can detect is that you might have come across as an ambivalent kid who doesn't know what s/he wants. Make sure you show a strong interest.</p>

7

<p>Your EC's are kind of bland, I think that would be your biggest weakness. </p>

<p>But I think you've got a decent shot at an acceptance.</p>

8

<p>Weak extracurrics, but you have a definite shot.</p>
