<p>Very strong reccomendations from my high school superintendent, philosophy professor (taught at Georgetown in summer), and Volunteer Campus coordinator who sent me to Chicago & Guatemala (GWU alumni)</p>

<p>my essay will probably have something to do with service learning & seeing poverty maybe Habitat.</p>

<p>bump?..</p>

<p>its hard to tell for me because im not sure how transfer students are looked at… by the looks of your first year grades your GPA is really good but you SAT score are low for Georgetown</p>

<p>Georgetown- Reach
GW- Match/Reach
American-Match
Brown- High Reach</p>

<p>I don’t know how sure I am since your SATs scores could go up. Hopefully your SATs will improve and your volunteering, honors, and grades in college will sway them. Good Luck.</p>
