Sep 01, 2000 Thank you for your interest in my work. I am now a Ph.D. candidate at a top institution. Most of my work was written while at Georgetown, where I majored in International Affairs major with a double concentration in Political Economy and History. I am a National Merit Scholar and I scored 1590 (out of 1600) on the SAT. You will note that my writing demonstrates the highest level of intellectual investment. I have also been recognized by Academon.com with a special $500 cash award for the academic excellence of my papers. My papers are not expensive, considering that they've earned A- or A grades at Georgetown, where I was one of nine students to graduated summa cum laude (final GPA 3.91).
