I simply cannot wait to get a letter on April 1st to make my college decision, I can’t wait that long. So goodbye Georgetown, hope fully I’ll get in to UMich.

I then discussed how Georgetown is NOT one of the 550 campuses in the US that has Circle K (the collegiate Kiwanis) and talked how I would bring this to Georgetown.

Well I didn’t really do early action. They just told me to submit my app whenever I could and they’d give me a decision in two weeks. I haven’t gotten an official letter but the coach told me that the admissions committee said I was accepted.

soccer93 · December 15, 2010, 1:36am
