Opening is strong. I'd tighten the third paragraph — it repeats an idea from the intro. Let's aim to finalize by Thursday.

Your Common App essay draft is looking really strong. The opening paragraph is exactly the hook we need. Let's refine the middle section on Thursday.
Alex Kim · Mon 9:31 AM
That's great to hear! Should I also start the Georgetown supplement before our session?
Hae Chang Seong · Mon 9:35 AM
Yes — try a first pass. The "Why Georgetown" prompt rewards specificity, so jot down 2–3 concrete programs or professors you're drawn to.
