<p>Honestly, your test scores and extracurriculars are spot on. Nothing to freak out about if they don’t improve, but it definitely doesn’t hurt to try. But, where is your community service? As a Jesuit school, Georgetown is big on its students contributing some type of community service.</p>

<p>Thanks for commenting! Its been a while since I last posted.</p>

<p>My SATs have improved to 2190, but my grades have dropped significantly since I started the IB program… on my latest report I got a mere 32 out of 42…</p>

<p>English 5
Math 7
Biology 5+
Economics 5
Chinese 6+
Theater 4+</p>

<p>Is Georgetown one of those schools that have less (less, not none) emphasis on grades? I mean, I’ve been to camps and scored high on some standardized tests, so they know I’m not stupid… :S</p>

<p>Also, I got a Letter of Commedation on my PSAT for the National Merit Scholarship program thing.</p>
