<p>My great-grandfather endowed a scholarship for the Medical School at Georgetown - a scholarship that still gives out money annually. I am applying as a Biology major and eventually I'd like to go to med school at gtown. Will my great-grandfather's scholarship establish me as a legacy and give me any pull?</p>
<p>My credentials are:</p>
<p>3.94 GPA on a 4.0 scale (school doesn't weight classes)
Rank inside top 7% (30/432)
SAT: 700 CR, 700 W, 610 M
1310/1600 or 2010/2400
ACT: 29 (retaking on Oct.27)
Taking the SAT II Bio, US His, and Lit on Nov. 3
Difficult course load...I have taken 4 of the 5 offered APs at my school
Good ECs, excellent recs.</p>
<p>Any and all comments are appreciated.</p>
<p>Hard to say, b.c the med school operates differently from the Undergraduate program, they are separate entities... it may help, but I wouldn't count on it too much... see if you were to apply to the Med School here, it would be a different story...</p>
<p>Yeah, you'll probably get in. Your stats look pretty good, so this isn't anything against you, but I know so many legacies that really don't deserve to be here, since their high school stats were less than stellar, and they can't even keep up with the work while they are here. As much as they say they don't, Georgetown definitely favors legacies, especially legacies that have given lots of money.</p>
<p>Your application looks like it can stand on its own! But as far as the legacy connection (assuming great-grandpa has passed away) it doesn't seem like there is any advantage or disadvantage to Georgetown accepting you. When parents have graduated and have donated money, there is a real probability they will continue to donate after their child has been accepted.</p>
