extracurriculars seem very light (only really flashy titles, no normal clubs or work experiences) and major seems unrelated to your political hobbies and language involvement. Why didn’t you apply SFS or arts and sciences for something political?

Numbers-wise, I’d say your fine.

Thank you for letting me know what you think! I’m planning to attend med school after undergrad, and Georgetown’s path to med school is very appealing and supportive. I just love biology and physics, although I don’t have much EC’s about it. Could the GPA be troublesome considering that the unofficial UW Gpa was around 3.9? Good luck with your admissions!

Just so y’all know, I got deferred EA but got in on the RD round. I want to let all the juniors reading this thread know that it isn’t worth stressing over the college process. I went through so much stress when I got deferred from Georgetown because I convinced myself that I won’t get into any good universities. As of May 23rd, I got into 75% of my universities, all of which were my preferred universities, Georgetown included. My stats do not compare to other amazing candidates at all, yet they got waitlisted/denied from Georgetown and I got in. This is not intended to flex on anyone, only to inform others that even a mediocre candidate like me could get into a prestigious university if they believe in the process and be truly genuine in their application. I know that the Coronavirus pandemic will highly affect the college process for rising seniors, however, I believe that you all will get into your dream schools if you do your job and simply trust the process. Even if you don’t get into your dream school, I believe that universities aren’t stupid and will definitely consider a multi-faceted analysis of students based on their passion for what they love, what they’ve pursued, their strengths and limitations, etc. It’s not all about academics or getting the highest SAT score; it’s also about enjoying the process as you prepare to apply to the college you desire. Relax, take a deep breath, and wish for the best. Peace XD
