<p>"essay: diversity topic on the common app and supplemental one is about why I want to go to Yale."</p>

<p>Just make sure you write the essay on why you want to go to Georgetown, and not Yale. :-P</p>

<p>"oh and if anyone would be willing, maybe students now attending harvard, to look over my essays and short answer i would really really appreciate it."</p>

<p>Or Harvard for that matter...</p>
