Prologue
To: Georgetown Admissions Office,
My name is Jordanna Gardner, but everyone calls me Jo or Jordan. I currently attend UIC; the University of Illinois at Chicago and am applying to the Georgetown University School of Medicine. Besides Georgetown being one of the most influential medical schools in the country, there is one large reason I want to attend this school; my parents. Both attended Georgetown University School of Law twenty years ago and my father, William Gardner is a name partner at Lockhart/Gardner and associates, and my mother, Alicia Florrick is a recent partner also at Lockhart Gardner. She would probably have been a name partner as well if she hadn't taken time off after my half brother and sister were born. As you can probably tell, my parents are not together, in fact they have never been together except for one 'magical night' in Georgetown. My parents have always said that they have been plagued with bad timing and that their only moment of good timing was when they were at Georgetown. I was born in Georgetown six weeks early and had to spend my first three months of life at the Georgetown University Medical Centre. I guess you could say that I have a special connection to the University and want to feel closer to a time when my parents were actually together for once. While both of my parents are lawyers, I want to be a doctor, of what I do not know yet but I am hoping to discover my passion while attending Georgetown University. I hope that you will consider my application and if so, I look forward to attending school in the Fall.
Sincerely,
Jordanna Rose Gardner
