[ *] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: My school had over 25 early applicants to Gtown, and I'd go as far as to say that 20 of them were under-qualified(hopefully, I am not included in that statistic). Gtown took 2 fairly qualified students but deferred the other 3 (I being one, and the other two quite impressive as well). I think Gtown deferred us because they don't trust that we'll commit if accepted, but that's just me trying to make the best of an otherwise heart-crushing situation.

I hope you find this helpful. We look at these top-tier schools as lottery schools - too often there seems to be no logical reasoning to accepted vs. deferred. We hit the lottery this time!</p>

[<em>] Volunteer/Community service: 2 summers at an animal shelter, currently volunteering for a Restorative Justice program, various "gigs" over the past few years albeit nothing consistent...
[</em>] Summer Activities: volunteering, music, political work, I interned at the DNC this August
[<em>] Essays: awesome. I opened up my soul, man. One of them was less strong but it showed that I was multi-dimensional.
[</em>] Teacher Recommendation: fantastic. my mom cried :)
[<em>] Counselor Rec: pretty good, she explained the fiasco behind why I'm not taking a science this year.<br>
[</em>] Additional Rec: good but I expected it to be a little better.

<p>b]Reflection[ /b]
[<em>] Strengths: SAT, courses ("very challenging"), extracurrics, essays (passion!!!), recs, probably interview
[</em>] Weaknesses: GPA, SATIIs, not a ton of volunteer work, where I'm from
[li] Why you think you were deferred: I'm white, my family's been going to college for hundreds of years, I'm a girl, I'm from a wealthy New England community, my parents are married, I have never taken an AP exam, I have lived in the same house my entire life, my family has been in the United States since before its inception, and I'm an A- student. </p>[/li]
<p>General Comments:** I'm hopelessly crushed. My essays must not be as great as I thought they were because if Georgetown admissions officers knew how perfect this school is for me and just how passionately I care about what I could bring to campus, they would have accepted me in a heartbeat. I thought that it could happen but now it's time to move on and hold on to the sliver of remaining hope. Great job to everyone who got in though, seriously. Best of luck to you all as this grueling process continues.</p>
