There's no denying Georgetown's reputation as a world class university with renowned faculty, but one of the core reasons as to why I want to attend Georgetown is because it would grant me the ideal undergraduate college experience. Although I plan to major in history, my interests are very varied and broad, and Georgetown, having a rich and flexible curriculum, would permit me to take my desired classes in its Humanities and Writing or its 'Film Study' course in the visual arts department. As Georgetown us famed for its diverse and talented student body. In 17 years, I've lived in 5 countries, have visited 6 others and have attended 6 different schools (3 of which have been boarding schools), and strongly feel that I can contribute my background to a diverse community, as well as learn from it. It's a conducive environment to cultivating my cultural awareness and broadening my mind.
History is a subject that has always been so dear and important to my intellectual growth. Growing up, while many of my age mates read Harry Potter or Paul Coelho novels, I read books such as 'The State of Africa' (Martin Meredith) and Heroes (Simon Montefiore). It's helped me see the relation between current and past events, allowed me to be more aware of my world and enabled me to further my understanding of politics and law. History is the basis for peoples pride and can be the reason for peoples failure. It's one of the principal determinants in life, and this is what fascinates me - the politics, the law, the diplomacy, which makes Georgetown and Washington D.C. the ideal fit for me.
Having studied these topics, I know it will fully equip me with the knowledge, writing skills and confidence to prosper in the graduate law school of my choice.
This is the draft so far. It's not finished, but I'm scared that what I've pointed out seems to common or too boring for the admissions office. Any help?
