<p>This is my first time here.. Could you guys give me advice as to what my chances might be for SFS? SATs are a big worry of mine.</p>

<p>SAT: 1910 (M690, CR630, W590) will be taking it a second time in Oct

<p>I'm an I.B diploma candidate student, take 4 higher levels (English, French, Economics, Music) and 2 standards (Math, Biology). I don't know what my GPA is, as our school doesn't calculate them until we're into our senior year – don’t know rank either…out of 33. Tiny school.</p>

<p>Grades wise, junior year was A’s except for a B+ in Econ. Am pretty much done with my CAS hours except for Activity…just got a few more left to do. For those of you who don’t know, CAS requires 50 hours of each category; Creativity, Action, Service.</p>

<p>Your SAT score is really low for Georgetown. You haven't taken any SAT IIs? Georgetown is a BIG REACH. Until you know your rank and GPA...it's really hard to tell. You may have a chance at GWU and BU, but I really don't know.</p>

<p>I wouldn't say your SAT score is 'really low'. Georgetown doesn't count the writing so you have 1320 which falls into their range of 1290-1460. Georgetown is a reach but not impossible.</p>

<p>I had a 1210 on my SATs and I'm going to be a sophmore. I went to am int'l school too. You should apply, SATs aren't everything. Your ECs are good too. I'd say you have a good shot.</p>

<p>if good GPA, I think as follows
Georgetown slight reach
Boston Univ match
Univ of British Columbia (Canada) match</p>

<p>YIS? St. Maur?</p>

<p>LF61... I'm at St Maur.</p>

<p>You? ASIJ, StMarys, Seisen, SacredHeart, CAJ? sorry if ive missed any out..</p>

<p>"I wouldn't say your SAT score is 'really low'. Georgetown doesn't count the writing so you have 1320 which falls into their range of 1290-1460."</p>

<p>Those stats just aren't right. I visited Georgetown just yesterday and they said the range was 1340-1520.</p>
