Break it to me...what are my chances at Gtown?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm really curious about my chances at Georgetown. Despite the fact that I go to a challenging prep school, I know my GPA is pretty weak (although there are trends in it that I'll explain later). But I feel my SATs are in the range, that my legacy is solid and that my Extra Curriculars are pretty good and unique. So, any guesses?
OK, so my stats:</p>

<p>I live in Northern California and am a white, upper-class male.
GPA - 3.5 at an extremely competitive and challenging prep school. However, all the bad grades that are dragging it down are all from the same sector (science classes from physics frosh yr, chem soph and bio jr) and one math class freshman year. In terms of English, which is what I put down as my tentative major, I've never gotten anything less than an A-, including AP American Lit which I received an A one quarter and A- the other.
SATs - 1420 (720 Verbal, 700 Math)
ECs - *** I've been a male dancer ever since I was in third grade; I've performed on my studio's senior performing company for 4 yrs, i'm on my school's hip-hop team, I've danced the lead role in local productions of the Nutcracker for several years, choreographed numbers for my school's show, been on the school dance team, etc.
*** I'm Editor in Chief of our school paper
*** I've been an elected class representative for student council soph, junior and senior years
RANK: My school refuses to give class ranks to any college so it doesn't really apply.
LEGACY: I would be the fourth generation from my family to go to Georgetown, so I think I have some solid legacy.
ESSAYS: One was from a more creative aspect, and it was about the little things that I'm known for (wearing pajamas to school, my campaigns for student council, etc.). And I feel my other essay, about relating my wish to attend Gtown w/ my future goals, was solid (but then again I wouldn't really know what they'd think).
RECS: From a teacher who absolutely adored me, my junior year AP American Lit teacher. So I can guess that it's good.
AP SCORES: English Lit Test-5, English Language Test-5, APUSH Test -4
SAT II Writing: 780 (that's the one I chose to send)
INTERVIEW: Went really well, and I'm not just trying to be cocky but my interviewer even mentioned it to me that mine was the best one she's had. She could be lying, but I'm desparate so I'll chose to believe it, haha.
OTHER AWARDS: I got a Commended Student Award from the National Merit Scholarship thingy, as well as a Commended Journalist award thing from some organization that I've forgotten, haha.</p>

<p>Any guesses?</p>

<p>seems pretty good besides the 3.5. male dancers dont exactly abound,that's quite a legacy youve got there, and a solid SAT.</p>

<p>wow... not only will you come out as very unique on your app, but your legacy boosts you up. your GPA is solid. could be better of course (from a prestigious university's perspective), but then again what do i know im at the end of my sophomore year and my GPA is barely 3.0..
anyway good stuff.</p>

<p>You have very unique ecs and your SATs are right in range. Your legacy status will also give you a boost. Apply EA and you should be solid.</p>

5

<p>no neeed to worry.......you're a shoo-in</p>

<p>To tommyy, I've already applied RD and I'm only posting this just because I'm hella nervous about the decision and want to know kind of where my expectations should be by April 1st, so I'm curious about what you said about EA...does legacy not count if you don't apply EA?</p>

<p>I dunno Jdog...I hate to break it to you, but I think that your chances are slim to none. But then again, you are very talented, as seen by your soap song ( I still think that it will go to number 1) and your legacy is solid. So I guess your chances are like that of DB getting into Williams. Which is like incredibly high. So yes......( in case you couldn't tell...I was totally joking above...I think u have an awesome chance...crossing my fingers for you, you better cross them for me!)</p>

<p>the legacy gives you boost, but other than that I don't know.. i applied EA last year, got rejected overall with a 4.2/3.8, 1480, 770 writing, tons of EC's, leadership, etc. etc. etc. </p>

<p>but good luck anyway! sometimes they'll see something on your app that really stands out, plus i think they give a lot of weight to legacies</p>

<p>Anyone actually wanting to go to gtown should know, atleast, that they are a legacy school. Their dean of admissions is quoted on it in a recent article of the schools hoya newspaper.</p>
