Hi everyone! So this is my first time posting in a forum ever, so if I make a mistake or two along the way please let me know or “address” it. See what I did there :))… okay moving on. Right now I am applying Early Action for Georgetown; however, I am caught in between whether or not I want to apply to the McDonough School of Business or the Walsh SFS. Furthermore, up until this past summer, I wanted to pursue a degree in Biomedical Engineering. Now I want to pursue a degree in International Relations with Economics, and a minor in Hispanic Studies and Educational Studies. So what was the catalyst for the sudden 180 you might ask, well over the summer I enrolled myself in an Entrepreneurship Program where we had to create our own businesses and compete among our peers for seed capital. My business idea ended up winning second place and $1000 seed capital. After the program/competition, I decided to pursue this business and have now turned it into a small NGO aiding a couple of countries in Central America. When my senior year started, I enrolled in an International Relations class and completely fell in love with it. Add all these factors into the equation and boom. Now I want to study International Relations. Also, the classes that I have achieved the highest grades in have been my Social Sciences classes from 9-12 grade, with the exception of AP World History for which I finished with a B. Anyhow, below is general overview/resume of my high school career.

Note: My school is one of the most rigorous in the state of Florida and in the nation. My school resides and has a partnership with one of the institutions of higher education in Miami, which allows for all the students to be fully enrolled at this institution. My curriculum consists of all AP classes and Dual Enrollment courses. By the time I graduate, I will have 60 college credits under my arm, and will be receiving an Associates of Arts degree.
I hope all this info helps in giving all of you an idea on which school in Georgetown I would have a higher chance of being accepted into.
P.S. I am also considering applying to Georgetown College, where I would major in History and Economics.
