(This will always be asked in college interviews in one form or another.) In regards to accomplishments, my interviewer was also focused on stuff that related to the particular college in Georgetown I was applying to (MSB). The odd thing about Georgetown though, is that social divisions and cliques are less about skin color and wealth (although that does play a part) but more about what you do weekends and weeknights. www.collegeconfidential.com /discus/messages/4/29824.html   (1057 words)
