<p>I'm a current senior whose dream school is Georgetown University. I applied early, but was deferred.</p>
<p>I have roughly an 89% GPA for my high school career. It was around 90-91 for my first two years. Junior year I took AP Physics B and AP Calculus AB and got high 70's - low 80's in each class, but I did well in a lot of my other classes (french 4, italian 1, AP US) so my average remained at around an 89-90.</p>
<p>I have been the chair of the International Criminal Courts for Model UN for about 2 years, and I am the captain of the Mock Trial team this year. I have also played varsity tennis since 8th grade. I have had two law internships, the most recent being with my local District Attorney's office this past summer/fall. I also have about 200 logged hours of community service.</p>
<p>I've done reasonably well for my first semester of senior year; I'm taking BC Calculus (I took it because I think it's interesting and my friends are in it, even if I get low grades in it), AP Micro/Macro, and AP Psych, as well as Gov/Law (not AP) and English 4. I have about a 91 average overall. </p>
<p>I wrote two very good essays for my Georgetown application (I'm a very good writer - it's my main academic strong point), but the rest of my application isn't terribly notable. My grandfather went to Georgetown for undergraduate and law school, my father went to Georgetown for law school, and my sister is a freshman there now. I've grown up hearing great stories about Georgetown; the great education, the surrounding area, the school spirit, et cetera. and I think it shone through in my essays. However, I'm wondering if this kind of thing will be enough to get me admitted.</p>
<p>I also sent in a letter about a week ago reaffirming my interest and devotion to the school, and saying that I would unconditionally matriculate if I got accepted.</p>
<p>Any thoughts? I got into Fordham early, which is a great safety school to have in the wings, but I really, really want to go to Georgetown. Also, all of the other schools I applied to are top tier like Georgetown. Should I just be glad I got into Fordham, or is it a realistic possibility?</p>
