<p>*I have attended other conferences, all usually in realm of international relations. Should I include those as a bonus?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Here are some other schools I'm looking at if Georgetown defers me to regular admission.</p>
<p>American
George Washington
Swarthmore
NYU
Boston College
University of Chicago
Washington University
UPenn
Amherst
Queens (Canada)
Pomona</p>
<p>From what I've seen on this board, many of those are going to be "reaches".</p>
<p>So I suppose it's my SAT scores that are going to hurt me. I'm a strong writer, so I'm confident my essays will be good-great.</p>
<p>What do you think? I will appreciate any feedback.</p>
