<p>I would think that if you didn't directly discuss Georgetown, they'd assume it was a form letter, which wouldn't reflect well on the applicant. Just a thought...</p>
<p>huh?
in my first personal essay i talked bout myself
in the second i talked bout gtown.. isnt that wat ur meant to do?</p>
<p>Yeah, that is. </p>
<p>People are just making this more confusing than it needs to be. And as for the second essay, you can not correctly answer it without referencing Georgetown in it. The prompt asks how Georgetown will equip you with the skills you need for your future (or something along those lines), so how can you answer without talking about Georgetown in some way?</p>
<p>right, that was my point.</p>
<p>I got in EA, and I wrote the Georgetown essay about my love of Spanish and medicine, and my goals to be a doctor, and to be fluent in Spanish, and why Georgetown could help me reach those goals. The personal essay I wrote about my messy room and what that said about me and my personality. On the Christmas card I got from my admissions officer, he mentioned my "unique organizational style" and how he liked my essay. </p>

<p>In my 1st essay, I made no reference to Georgetown at all. On my Christmas card, my adcom wrote how she liked that essay especially. So for essay one, you should just use your personal statement, and don't worry about making it Georgetown-specific.</p>
<p>i just sent my gtown app 2 days ago... i hope its good lol</p>
<p>yeh jessica wanna swap?</p>
