<p>Your decathlon awards are outstanding especially in such a competitive state. Your test scores and gpa are great too. You have an amazing shot at Georgetown. Plus you’re a minority!
APPLY.</p>

<p>play up your church involvement and community service they look for students with an interests in service, social justice, and spiritual growth…For SFS, they are looking for true goobal mindedness - your essays will matter a LOT–arguably the most important part of your application.</p>

<p>You are a very strong candidate. Georgetown prides itself on being international with strong ties to Latin America. They would be fortunate to get you as a student.</p>
