Dear Mrs. Ariza,
Thank you for taking the time to review my application to Georgetown University. While I was disappointed to learn I was on the waitlist, Georgetown remains my number one choice, and I would gladly attend if accepted. As such, I wanted to include some new information to supplement my application.
Since applying in the fall, I have retaken the SAT to improve my score from 1270 to 1470. I received a math score of 710 and a critical reading score of 760. I have sent my official scores to Georgetown.
I was awarded 3rd place in my state’s Literature PTSA for my poem “Carnivals.” I competed against 50 other students in my state and presented my poem in front of a crowd of 1,000 people. This honor helped to further demonstrate my passion for writing and humanities. My poem, as well as my previous work, can be found on my LinkedIn page: <your LinkedIn url>.
If accepted to Georgetown, I would love to study under Professor Reep and take her class on “Emotions in Poetry.” Her work has long been an inspiration to me, and after I sat in on one of her classes during a visit to Georgetown last month, her words have helped shape my writing.
I continue to challenge myself academically by taking on a rigorous course load. Last semester, I also received a 4.0 in all of my classes, and I am on track to receive “A’s” in the classes I am taking this semester.
Thank you for the continued consideration of my application. I hope to continue my academic studies at Georgetown University in the fall.
Thank you,
Kaylie Joseph
