<p>I'm going into my sophmore year at American, and while in love with the city, I do not find it as challenging as I'd like. My whole life I dreamed about going to Georgetown, but was not so lucky during my senior year. After my first year, I come out with a 3.93 gpa in the honors program as a Poli Sci major with a theater minor. In my second semester, I began interning for my congressman. I progressed to becoming a paid staff member at another congressman's office due to a special election and a recommendation from my office. I worked upwards of 20 hrs a week during this period. In the fall I will be taking "rigourous" classes as well and being a nanny to a local family. I didn't get to get involved with a lot of clubs due to my interning. My SATS, I will admit, were not perfect (1400) and my high school gpa (3.75) might not have been Gtown material, but I think I've really pulled myself together. Yet, I can't help to be nervous due to past experience. I want to apply for my junior year. Do I have a shot?</p>
<p>I think you have a really good shot. Great GPA + Good SATs + Internship = Excellent chances!</p>
<p>Just right good essays.</p>
<p>I really don't know that much about transfers, but you really have seemed to "turn yourself around". Not that you were bad before. </p>
<p>Kind of a cool story. I hope you get in to Georgetown the second time around. What school do you want to transfer to?</p>
<p>You have a good chance. Maybe look at William & Mary as well. Similar history/quality but they are easier to transfers than regular decision.</p>
<p>Hey Aupolikid, i'm transferring to Gtown this fall. Your chances look great! PM me if you have any ?s</p>
<p>p.s. There is a georgetown transfers thread that would probably give you more insight into the gtown transfer process</p>
<p>OP-You really should have more confidence. I know people with MUCH lower high school stats than you who transferred into Georgetown after 2 years of strong performance at colleges similar to American. It's an additional advantage that you're already familiar with and happy in the Washington D.C. area. Good luck to you.</p>
