Georgetown

Dear Georgetown Law School Admissions Council, Thank you for deferring my decision to regular decision. Georgetown University has always been my dream school for as long as I can remember, and I am beyond grateful the continued consideration. Due to low SAT scores, I attended the University of Delaware after high school. While at Delaware, I worked extremely hard to maintain a 3.96 GPA so I could attempt to transfer to Georgetown University. Once again, my scores were still a huge barrier…

I realized that my goals parallel many of the Jesuit values that Georgetown University exemplifies. It was after two service trips to West Virginia, tutoring underprivileged children once a week, and being part of my school’s Community Service Corp’s that I realized just how integral a part of service is to who I am. Service is not a one-way street, but rather it is about literally helping others…

I am interested in joining Georgetown University for two main reasons. Firstly, Georgetown University offers me the freedom of choice and guidance in choosing my major. Back in Madagascar, students have little or no choice over their future, as all the learning is already packaged with a strict manual to follow. Teachers and school officials offer the material on a plate and provide no additional support unless externally paid for. As a result, despite having good grades, students often ended up…

“There exists no luck, everything is as it should be. We meet the people we are fated to meet. We experience what we are fated to experience in our life.” - George Brady. George Brady was born on February 9, 1928 to Karel and Marketa Brady in Czechoslovakia. They lived in a yellow house on the main square of the town Nove Mesto na Morave alongside 3500 others. The Brady family was known at the time for their family business of making skis, which was located under were they were living.…

school's Chess Club. During that lunch, the members of Chess Club taught me about a chess variant, bughouse, which turns the typically slow-paced individual game into a brisk competition between pairs of players. Six months later, I walked into Georgetown Day School as a student. I dropped by Chess Club so I could see some familiar faces, and somehow they all remembered my name from the 20 minutes they spent with me half a year earlier. I became a regular at Chess Club, even though I was rather…

culture at Georgetown has one major issue that needs to fixed because it poses a moral problem. This problem is the competiveness of students at Georgetown. Most students feel pressured into getting the best grades or being included in the best clubs. If they are not apart of these clubs, then they feel left out or have hard times finding friends. Students will spend hours in the library in order to study for a test because they feel that they must be better than other students. Georgetown…

At Georgetown University, I would like to pursue a degree in government. There is a plethora of opportunities to explore and develop my political identity by immersing myself in the political environment of Washington D.C. Moreover, the numerous world leaders that come to speak to students on campus (offer with unique insight on global issues that would be critical to my growth/development as a student). These experiences are are an opportunity that is unique to the environment of Georgetown.…

I always wanted a positive life so finding an outstanding school was a priority for me. I began my research, with “the top business school for finance undergraduates.” The McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University emerged as the best choice for me. For many years, I had an interest in math in which I chose finance. I love numbers, solving problems and being social. Finance is dreams without waiting to either saved the money, or be lucky and receive it from your parents. It interests…

Assistant, I will combine my love of Georgetown University, knowledge of Washington, DC and my experiences in summer residential life to empower Gewirz Residents to make the most of their summer in DC. By providing housing in a secure and supportive environment, Georgetown empowers people from around the world to pursue educational opportunities inside and outside of the classroom in one of the world’s most important cities. As an undergraduate at Georgetown, I was a direct beneficiary of such…

These early exposures to neuroscience would follow me in my college tours in my junior and senior years of high school. At Georgetown, I was fascinated by the neurobiology major, and upon my second visit to Georgetown, I had the opportunity to sit in on and observe a class, PSYC 234-01: “Cognitive Neuroscience” taught by Professor Chandan Vaidya. It was an amazing opportunity to both see a collegiate-level class in person…
