<p>I am going to be a sophomore at the University of Maryland College Park and I am really interested in transferring to a school that offers my major and Georgetown is one of my choices. I am interested in international relations, conflict management, and international development especially in East Africa and the Middle East. Maryland does not offer any type of international relations major. I really want to enroll in the Justice and Peace Studies major at Gtown. I was rejected admission as a high school senior. What do you think my chances for admin to Gtown are as a transfer?</p>
