<p>Georgetown is the only school that I'm applying to transfer too because its really the only school in the Nation that has exactly what I want: a rigourous and intensive Arabic program.</p>
<p>I can write a great essay, can get great recommendations, have some good EC's (School Newspaper, Tutoring impoverished kids on the benefits of an education, World Affaris Concil, Piano, Turntables, I do the bookeeping for my mothers business, etc)...I also had a 3.7 GPA at my state school.</p>
<p>I'm at Tufts right now, and just got here in January and as such I don't have a GPA here, yet. I came because I wanted to major in Near Eastern Studies but the program here is more historically based, which is fine and originally what I wanted, but if I'm going to make study in this field my career, which I want to, than I think the best way to make that happen is to obtain a mastery of the languages of the Near East.</p>
<p>I'm going to do the inteview and if possible meet with an advisor and some of the directors of the department of Arabic.</p>
<p>My question is this: Is there anything else that I can do, or should be doing to boost my chances of acceptance. I realize that admissions is extremely competitve at Georgetown and my chances of getting in are about 25% at best. I'm really willing to do anything possible to get into this school since it is the ONLY school in the nation that has the exact program that I am looking for.</p>
<p>Any suggestions would be dearly appreciated</p>
