- Church involvement</p>

<p>12th:

<p>** I know my EC's suck, but I'm trying to get them up Junior/Senior year</p>

<p>** School doesn't rank, but I have one of the higher GPA's, top 10%, maybe top 5% (school isn't very competitive, nice school district but not many kids go to Ivies)</p>

<p>** I have not taken any SAT's yet but I did get a 191 on the PSATs, which I know is very low but I did not study for the test at all, and also had never taken any sort of test like it. Since, I have been studying rigorously for the SAT's which I will take next year. MY score will definitely improve from the PSAT- SAT predicted score of 1910.</p>

<p>** I'm not sure what I'd like to major in, both History and Nursing interest me. I'm between like high school history teacher and nurse, random I know haha.</p>

<p>** I am Hispanic (mexican) , not sure if this helps my chances?</p>

<p>** Female, from Pennsylvania </p>

<p>So, assuming all goes well (Straight A's, 5's on all AP Exams, successful EC involvement, raised SAT Score) what are my chances at Georgetown?</p>

<p>other schools i like:</p>

<p>Villanova
Duke
UNC
Loyola Maryland
Georgetown
Yale (for my dad but I'd like to go :/)
Princeton (Ditto.)
Pepperdine
UCLA
Pomona
UPenn
Penn State (scholarship? My dad makes a lot of money but ef's it all away, currently paying for college entirely by myself, dad makes $200k+, not a candidate for financial aid, right?)</p>

<p>Could you chance me please and also recommend schools that would be a good fit? And perhaps schools that would give me any kind of scholarship?</p>

<p>Thank you!!</p>

<p>All I can say is your GPA’s pretty good at this point and that you definitely will not get any financial aid.</p>

<p>You are right, this inquiry/evaluation is EXTREMELY premature. You need junior year grades and board scores for a realistic assessment (and even then it’s merely guesswork, just more informed guesswork).
Your curriculum looks challenging, which is a big plus. (But for future reference, don’t clutter your list of courses on CC posts with things like gym and art/music classes; they’re irrelevant and only clutter up your post.)
The 191 on the PSAT is very weak for most of the schools on your list, so you will need a huge improvement on the SAT (or take the ACT and see which is more impressive).
And you’re right about your ECs: they are underwhelming, so get cracking on that front. Oh, and starting an EC senior year will be absolutely useless. Starting junior year is hard enough, because AdComs look for deep, long-term commitments and leadership positions, and you’ll have trouble demonstrating that with ECs you start only in your junior year.
Your Mexican heritage might prove to be a real plus, but I don’t know whether that will be sufficient.
Good luck.</p>
