<p>I know that there's a chances thread, but I wanted to know what people thought about Georgetown specifically.
I know it's a reach, but is there a chance?
And, if so, what can/should I do to improve? (Beside, of course, raising my Math score, which I fully intend to work on in October when I can retake SATs...)</p>

Lol, no really, I’m from Florida also, and obsessed with going to Georgetown. Our extracurriculars are strikingly similar, yearbook, clubs, etc…and like you, I’ve gotta get my math SAT score up for October next year. Not fun.
