Hi all,
Georgetown was my top choice last year but I did not get in. I am a freshman at American University’s business school now and am hoping to transfer next fall and was hoping you might be able to chance me keeping in mind that a lot of fellow students at AU are also applying to Georgetown!

Competitive boarding school
B average (biggest concern)
1250 on the SAT (another big concern but got a tutor to take it again this March so hopefully will go up)

Newspaper staff
Model UN member
Charitable outreach club member
Student body president
Senior year courseload: AP Literature, Calculus, AP Biology, AP US Government, Religion, Poetry, Pottery
Good recs
College info:
Expecting to be at or just below a 3.7 at the end of this semester (if these finals don’t kill me)

Rushing the business fraternity this spring
Hoping to get involved with the AU ambassadors club
Internships/Work/Volunteer Experience:
*Same internship in the UK every summer since the age of fourteen where I worked directly with US presidential candidates and senators gaining money and votes from American citizens living in Europe. During slower political years I helped secure tens of millions of dollars for big-name charities from the youth orchestra to children in crisis. The company I was under is small so I had a big role in day to day operations.
*One summer also worked in San Francisco for a financial management firm where I again played a relatively big role for an intern
*Just landed an internship for the spring semester that is known for educating politicians on the world of blockchain. I will actually be helping with a bitcoin event that will be held at Georgetown this summer. In addition, I will have the opportunity to get to know the head of Georgetown’s business school as he is involved with the organization and again it’s not a huge company with lots of employees
*Head junior volunteer and staff member for a therapeutic horseback riding center that I’ve been helping out at for the past ten years. We work with mentally and physically disabled children in addition to our veterans program
Personal info:
*White
*Female
*Nationally ranked horseback rider
*Father is incarcerated. I feel like this may be some sort of hook but don’t know where I would mention it. This was not in my original application as he was sent away after the fact.
Also, what do you all think of applying again junior year should I get rejected this time around? If that happened I would probably apply to UCLA and UVA and maybe Cornell as a just to see reach if all goes well the next few month/year. Feel free to throw in what you think my chances would be at those schools as well.
Thank you so much!
