<p>Hi! I really want to attend Georgetown! But as we know, it is very prestigious and selective in its admissions process. Here's what's on my resume so far.</p>
<p>I am a white female, age 15, graduating in 2017, from southern California.
My freshman year I took 1 out of 2 honors classes available in my high school because my counselor did not inform me about the other. We are only allowed honors classes as freshman, Honors Geometry (the course I took) and Honors Biology.</p>
<p>I had a 3.6 GPA sadly because I was lazy. I was in the top 15% of my class without trying. I have suddenly realized how important it is that I try my hardest.
We haven't gotten 1st semester grades yet, but I'm taking one of two AP classes open to sophomores. I couldn't take the other because there was not enough space. I took the PSAT and don't receive my score until December.
I am currently a Pasadena JAYCEE (Junior Chamber of Commerce) and we are a prestigious volunteer group in SoCal. We are currently collecting food donations to sort and deliver to low income families in the SoCal area for Thanksgiving, and then we will read the letters of over 3,000 underpriveleged children, collect toys, dress up as Santa and Mrs. Claus and personally deliver them on Christmas Eve. We also get to prepare and paint the field before the BCS game at the Rose Bowl on New Year's day.
Next Summer, I am hopefully going on a trip with the People to People Ambassador Program to Paris, Italy, and Spain to help us become independent and become more culturally enriched and globally aware. I have to be accepted and my interview is next weekend, but I am confident.</p>
<p>I plan to start preparing for the SAT in December, almost a year before I take it. Next year, I plan on taking AP US History, AP Environmental Science, Pre-Calc Honors, AP or Honors English (I'm not sure if juniors have an AP English at my school), Spanish 3, and Pyschology first semester then geography second (I'm not sure if there is an advanced course for this).
I plan on volunteering even more, and I'm planning to go to Camp Ronald McDonald for good times to spend a week with kids with cancer. I am in the Interact service club this year, and will run for a supervisor position next year. I am also going to join Circle of Friends (work with kids with disabilities) and Red Cross club. I also plan on donating blood.
I played volleyball freshman year, and am currently on the JV soccer team at my school.</p>
<p>For my personal essay, I could possibly talk about the divorce of my parents and the verbal abuse I have suffered growing up from my mother, and my 18-year-old autistic brother. My childhood hasn't been easy, but I still consider myself the luckiest person. I am also a believer of God, and through him I have realized how fortunate I was to learn and take what I did from the verbal abuse, and how I've been able to help others and just realize that I am so much luckier than others.</p>
<p>Did I start too late? Do you think I could get in with this plan? What else can I do to better my chances? PLEASE HELP- I love anything constructive.</p>
