<p>Deffinetly man. I only used one page. My problem was the essays really confused me. I felt like both essays were asking me to talk about why I wanted to go to Georgetown. What I should have done was what Nspeds did. He talked about himself for almost the entire first essay and then tied it up in a pargraph to why he wanted to go to Georgetown. He used his second essay to talk about why he wanted to go to Georgetown. Hats off to Neil/Nspeds. </p>

<p>The fact of the matter is that we are willing to learn from our mistakes. That alone proves that we have bright futures. Not being arrogant, just a matter of fact!</p>

<p>stuff like this happen (Really happen). let me give you an example to make you feel better, I have 1500 (which is really diffcult for a new immigrant to get, especially the English part), 4.0, 7 APs with all of them above 4, and TWO (not one, but two) professors's (with one tenured professor's and extensive research work with one of the professor) recommendation to Stanford, I still got rejected. (nearly every other school, even the ivys, browns and cornell, accepted me)</p>

<p>oh I have applied finanical aid and asked for 20000.</p>
