<p>Reflection:
- [<em>] Strengths: Infatuation with Georgetown, Visiting and living there for 3 Weeks, Showing a great amount of interest and research (in essays), Breadth of EC’s

[<em>] Why you think you were accepted: I have no idea…
[</em>] Where else were you accepted: I’m 6 for 6! American, GW, UM, UF, and Brandeis.
General Comments: This is incredible, I did NOT expect this. I kind of forgot about Gtown after EA deferral. It’s my top choice, but Financial Aid will be an issue. Hopefully I’ll be in DC in the fall.
For all of you reading this like I was last year: Go for it, even if you don’t think you’re qualified. You get one shot at this, make it count.</p>
