okay.. so I called Georgetown to ask for feedback and the dean there was quite nice about it and talked to me for around 15 minutes... he was quite honest about it and now I would encourage everybody to call in after rejections.....
he said I was qualified in terms of academic scores, research, and volunteering, but I scored "poorly" in the secondary application in one of those "why georgetown?" questions. Only if I wasn't working on 4 secondaries on that same day and paid more attention to learning about Georgetown and writing by taking my time, I would have had the interview~ sigh.... all those things people say about handing in your apps ASAP really made me scurry on the important question. I have learned my lesson. Costly though.......
