<p>as a fellow applicant, i think your healthy competition…i mean SATs are a little low, but every school has a range, not to mention that scores dont define individuals…your ACT is a little higher and thats good so although ur scores arent gonna get you in, theyll keep you in the competition…otherwise classes/grades and extra curriculars seem solid</p>

<p>SFS?</p>

5

<p>and i think the middle eastern couldve been a potential hook, had u been born there/spent some time in the country</p>

<p>what country btw?</p>

6

<p>My parents were both born in Iran, I was born in Austria and lived there for four years and then moved to Canada and then to Austin and then to Houston… maybe all the moving around is a hook haha</p>

7

<p>haha im persian too!! good luck on your schools!</p>

8

<p>and moving around could actually be something that sets you apart, as someone who has seen/experienced more than the average applicant</p>

9

<p>i hope so, too bad i didn’t highlight it in my georgetown app /: hopefully they’ll look at the geographic stuff and notice it themselves lol
and thanks, good luck to you too!</p>

<p>I don’t think they will “kill” your application, but they will certainly not help it. I think your chance of acceptance hinges upon your essays (they will need to be really good).</p>
