<p>So a year ago, Georgetown was my dream school, and unfortunately, it still is. I applied EA, got deferred, and rejected finally. I got into another another school I really love that is pretty good, still in the top 50 and in the south, and I am enjoying it immensely, but there's no doubt in my mind I'd rather be at Gtown. I visited DC this past wkend and fell in love with the city and opportunities there all over again. Coming from europe, DC is more like a european city than where I am now, and I'm constantly homesick and I hate it.</p>
<p>Going to school in europe, we didn't have class ranks or GPAs. I did the IB and my grades throughout the two years were average, but I was involved in numerous extracurrics & president of a few. I had an internship at a law firm, and have worked otherwise as well. I didn't expect to be accepted because I knew I wasn't up to par. My SATs weren't too good either, 1850 and 600 each on 3 subjects.</p>
<p>Now in college, I have an average of an A-, and my GPA is 3.75 at the moment, and I hope to end the semester with that. Before I applied to SFS, now I just want to apply to the College, so do you think it is worth it?</p>
<p>I think I've clearly shown I can work, and I have determination. I'm involved in multiple clubs here and now am only taking 15 credits [i wasn't allowed 18] but next semester I have been given permission to take 18 credits. </p>
<p>I would have good recommendations from professor and my advisor no doubt, and I plan to have stellar essays, showing my determination and showing that although I may not have done well in highschoool, I have and will work hard as hell in college because I know what I want to do with my life now.</p>
<p>So my question is: do you think I should even apply? or is it worth another burn of rejection?<br>
I want this more than anything, and I've killed myself this semester to attempt to prove it.</p>
