Georgetown, GWU, BU, American, DePaul,

<p>Ethnicity: White
Location: New Jersey
Gender: Male</p>

<p>I attend a rigorous college prep school outside of New York City.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.45 UW, school doesn't do weighted.
* I had a 3.55, and then a 3.4 something Freshman year, and then I got 3.3's Sophomore year, this year first semester (Junior) I received a 3.572.</p>

<p>SAT: 2100
Class Rank: N/A, school doesn't rank.</p>

<p>I am planning to take what my school calls 'Focus', a year long research project/thesis in something you love. I hope to tackle an aspect of politics and the media, and it would involve writing a 25 page paper first semester and then going out into the field and actually working in that area before presenting this project to a panel of experts.</p>

<p>EC's:
--Student Government:
- I was the president of my grade for Freshman and Sophomore year.
- I am currently the vice-president of the Student Body.
- I have a good shot for President next year.
I've helped initiate major rule changes, argued in front of faculty meetings, and been a general advocate for the Student Body.</p>

<p>-National/International Editor of the school newspaper.</p>

<p>-Play guitar in private lessons, school band, the pit orchestra for the musicals, and small cafes and restaurants.</p>

<p>-I interned for the Barack Obama for President campaign, compiling over 120 hours of service. I was an assistant to the field organizer, and helped run events, train volunteers, set up and take down events, etc. I was also left in charge of some phone banks and canvassing events. I was told I could receive a letter of recommendation from the Congressman who's district I worked in, as we helped elect the whole ticket.</p>

<ul>
<li><p>I am a tour guide for my school.</p></li>
<li><p>I've run cross country all four years of high school, varsity for three of them.</p></li>
</ul>

<p>I am going to be able to get great letters of recommendation. I don't know how to explain it, but I have become a sort of natural leader at my school. The teachers who know me will be able to advocate for me quite well, and I think interviews will go well. There is a sort of unspoken quality about me that I can't get on paper, but I hope to somehow show. You guys probably get this a lot, but anyway.</p>

<p>Georgetown
George Washington University

Boston University
DePaul University
Northwestern University
Northeastern
Fordham
NYU</p>

<p>if your school is a feeder to Georgetown...(cough,cough,Delbarton), you're in at all</p>

<p>For your research project/thesis, I would highly recommend this website:</p>

<p>NewsBusters.org</a> | Exposing Liberal Media Bias</p>

<p>It is a great source for undercovering media bias.
I would also recommend the following two books:</p>

<p>Amazon.com:</a> A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (And Pathetic) Story of the Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media: Bernard Goldberg: Books</p>

<p>Amazon.com:</a> Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning: Jonah Goldberg: Books</p>

<p>Both are informing, and I would highly recommend both.</p>

<p>Anyways, as to your chances, I would say you have a match with all except Georgetown, NYU, and Northwestern which will all be reaches, with Georgetown being the most difficult.</p>
