Another Chances Thred

<p>I know that there are about 8 billion of these chances posts, but I seriously need a reality check (my guidance counselor just tells me what I want to hear, rather than what I need to). If someone could give me their input as to my chances of being accepted into Georgetown RD (it's my reach school as of right now), I would GREATLY appreciate it. Thanks so much!</p>

<p>Thanks again!</p>

<p>ive got similar stats, except my sat's are a 1350......... so i guess people like us need to get very above average recs/activities/essays</p>

<p>my stats are VERY similar to yours, my SAT composite is the same... identical on writing, but I did better on math and worse on verbal. your GPA and course load is really impressive, so I think you have a good shot... It is so frustrating though that they don't look at the writing section, don't you think? I am applying regular to the business school, but I doubt I'll get in...</p>

<p>I think you could get in if you had really good recs and good essays. The only thing that's holding you back a bit is your math score. You should really retake the SAT and work hard on improving your math score. If you can boost it 50-70 points I'd say you have a really good chance.</p>

<p>Thanks so much for all of your input, I really appreciate it! </p>

<p>ilovedogs- I completely agree; they added that stupid writing section, and no one cares about it! I can understand why, seeing as it's only a measure of how well you can bs in about 25 minutes (but bs-ing IS a major aspect of life and should therefore be considered prevalent to the admissions process).</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone who's applying!!</p>
