<p>P.S. </p>

<p>If anyone is wondering about the courseload, I take 7 courses at school. Plus a few more online (its free) and a few more in the local community college (its also free). Hence the quantity.</p>

<p>I'd say you have very good chances, especially if you emphasize the community service (and language skills if you apply to SFS). since Gtown is a jesuit school, they really place high value on volunteer work, which it looks like you've done a fair amount of</p>

<p>I think you have a great chance as well. And even if I'd said you stink (you don't), you should still apply no matter what! You might surprise yourself. ;)</p>
