<p>So I was converted into a huge G'town fan after learning about the international health major that the NHS school offers. It is exactly what I want in a college major (opens doors for lots of other careers ect.) and I am really looking forward to applying to that school in the coming year ( I am a junior right now). My dilemma however, is that I have a lot of business focused ECs (as will be shown below) and I have heard that Georgetown is very strict about accepting people who they think are using NHS's "easier acceptance rate" (a measly three percent more than SFS) to get into Georgetown and later transfer out. I have about 600 hours of volunteer service to my local hospital and I have been chosen as a shift leader as well as Auxiliary officer (there are 8 of us for 400 or so volunteers) but other than this one activity I dont have much health/science/international relations type of ECs and I don't want to be perceived as someone who is just using NHS as a passage way into Georgetown. </p>
<p>Another concern I had is whether or not to apply EA to Georgetown. I have been browsing over Georgetown EA threads and have seen a lot of people say that EA in Georgetown offers no substantial boost in acceptance probability but rather decreases ones chances. I am not a horrifically underqualified applicant but I am far from being a shoe in so I need all the help I can get so I really want to chose a correct time to apply. </p>
