Admitted to Georgetown University…first applied to Georgetown February 1st. I got the group interview invite March 5th, interviewed a couple of weeks later, and got my initial WL decision on April 1st (obviously it was an April fools joke).

…is an awesome way to make students feel wanted. I interviewed with Dean Andy in a group-style Zoom meeting. The questions were simple and light-hearted, and everyone I know from the group got an offer of admission. The scholarship was very generous too, easily outnumbering my offers from every other T14 school, even…

…62 days after I sent my application. I received my KIRA interview invite in early December, and honestly felt I bombed the first question and then performed quite mediocrely for the next two. Nevertheless, while at track & field practice on a Monday, Dean Le left me a voicemail letting me know I had been admitted.…

…I should have wrote them regardless. Especially for Duke. Interviewed at WashU (adcomm), Vandy (alumni), GULC (group), Cornell (KIRA), Northwestern (KIRA). Advice: I think I re-wrote my PS and DS statements over 20 times lol. Create a really strong and cohesive narrative. My PS and DS were on different topics, yet…
