<p>I am also sending a combined art and music supplement which I am extremely confident about that includes a movie of my best artwork in the past year with a recording of myself playing a difficult Mozart piece that lasts almost ten minutes. I know a lot relies on this supplement for me.</p>
<p>What do you think??</p>
<p>Just as a barometer, I had very comparable stats (higher GPA, very slightly lower SATs) and got deferred EA, but don’t let that get you down. Which school are you applying to within Georgetown?</p>
<p>A lot of people from my school applied to Georgetown EA and all got deferred too, even the legacy…its been tough this year!
and i’d go into arts and sciences. I love both the Art and Anthropolgy departments. How about you?</p>
<p>Chancing people after seeing the results of the EA pool is damn near impossible. So many people in Gtown’s 50% range were admitted (including me), and many top students (near perfect scores, best GPAs, TONS of ECs) got deferred.</p>
<p>But anyway, I think you have an OK chance. My test scores were very close to yours (690R, 710M), but your GPA seems low (mine was 3.95 UW). I think GPA played a big role in the Gtown decisions this year. </p>
<p>My advice: DON’T OVERDO IT. It seems like a lot of the deferred EA applicants who seemed destined to be admitted might have really come off way too strong in their app. I approached the process as if I was describing myself to a peer, not an admissions officer. I didn’t write flowery essays - I made my point and moved on. I didn’t talk myself up, rather I just addressed what they wanted to know. A nice big supplement could certainly portray your passion, but maybe try to do so in a more condensed fashion. Again, it’s ultimately up to you and I might be completely wrong… Gtown seems really fickle this year. I’m just saying that you should read your app and if it seems a little too overdone, it probably could be cut down a bit.</p>
<p>thanks for the advice. I already submitted my app though unfortunately.
and congratulations! are you going to georgetown or still sending out some other apps?</p>
