4:22 What would you like listeners to know about Georgetown that many applicants don't realize? Or what myths would you like to dispel?
6:09 You've mentioned cura personalis and the Jesuit mission several times. In a really practical way, how does it show up in the teaching? Is it possible to give an example?

9:34 Could you walk the listener through the process that the application goes through once they submit the secondary?

18:07 Do you have any idea what's coming in the next cycle?

21:29 Is research a nice-to-have when applying to Georgetown, or is it pretty much a must-have?
22:28 How do you feel about virtual shadowing?
