<p>Hello all, </p>
<p>I'm currently applying to schools and Georgetown is my reach. I am an aspiring Linguistics major who would like to study Arabic as well. Here are my hard stats:
GPA: 3.36
SAT: 1990 (Math: 570, Critical Reading: 690, Writing: 730)
Associate of the Arts Degree (acquired at the same time as high school diploma through dual credit program)</p>
<p>I've worked to pay for my college books, supplies, and fees since I was 16 years old. When I was a senior in high school, I got a job at my community college organizing the guest lecture series, family programming events, and campus service projects. I managed a budget of over $60,000 at the age of 17. I now serve as an AmeriCorps member in Seattle as one of the ten youngest out of thousands in Washington State. I'm a literacy tutor placed in the most linguistically diverse ZIP code in the state. Here's a short list of my most important personal endeavors.</p>
