<p>I had the same score and I was admitted; there is a minor caveat in that my composite score comprised a 690 on the math, but I doubt the decisiveness of my 50 point increase.</p>

Alumni-status is insignificant so long as that neighbor knows you and can provide a personal and accurate depiction of your personality, aspirations, and achievements. If he cannot, the fact that he graduated from Georgetown will not increase your chances of being admitted.</p>
<p>I am an Asian female enrolling into Georgetown's College in the fall. My SAT scores were less than perfect (barely breaking 1300) since I neglected my study aides. Regardless of my ethnicity and the high standards placed on Asians, I still got into Georgetown. Although I graduated at the top of my class, I think my standardized test scores (both SAT I and SAT II) someone neutralized that fact. I think the key is making sure that you either nail the interview and kick out great essays (for those who think essays are not important -- the letter I received from the dean welcoming me into Georgetown noted that the committee was "impressed" with my debate credentials...whether they send that letter to all debaters is irrelevant...at least they read about my activities).</p>
<p>Since you are only given teacher rec for Georgetown, I suggest that you go with the person that knows you best and NOT some random alumni.</p>
<p>I won't predict your chances, but I just wanted to assure you that Georgetown takes all sorts of people. You'll be fine.</p>
