Can I get in?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Georgetown University

<p>Rising senior for next year, </p>

<p>GPA is about 3.8uw and rank is ~10/400 at a pretty good public high school that annually sends students to top schools.... last year 3 out of 6 who applied to Georgetown were accepted with 2 enrolling</p>

<p>Pretty much the hardest course load available with 5 APs next year, have only taken 2 APs</p>

<p>SAT- (superscored) - 1480/1600 and 2190/2400.... Math 800, CR 680, W 710, will try to improve reading for Fall SAT</p>

<p>SAT II- 800 US history, 780 World History, 770 Math I, 760 Math II, 660 Bio M... nothing but the top three count right?</p>

<p>AP- US 5, Bio 5</p>

<p>EC-
-Quiz Bowl (competed at nationals)
-newspaper staff
-Model UN (1 of 4 chosen to represent the school at a University hosted model UN)
-art studio
-200 hr. volunteering at museum
-30 hr. volunteering at another museum
-16 hr. volunteering for answering little kids' Santa letters
-Delta Epsilon Phi
-Youth group
-New England Math League
-Math Team</p>

<p>Talents? (I wouldn't even mention otherwise but I saw on the app there is a section for this... would it count?)
-voted most artistic coming out of middle school, best in show award for ceramics, won contest to design school booklet</p>

<p>Awards/others- can't find a section to put this but maybe I can write in them in the essays:
-Congress Bundestag semi finalist
-moved around about 6 times in the last 10 years
-Kodak Young Leaders Award
-served as a guide and translator for a foreign exchange teacher
-some travel experience</p>

<p>Maybe a major in Government at the College? or International Business at MSB? I'll probably apply early action although it looks like it confers no advantage.</p>

<p>Are you the leader of any of the clubs you listed? That would make a large impact on whether you can get accepted. Your class rank is inline, and your SAT scores are within the range. You have volunteered a lot - which is nice - but a lot of kids do that. A little more specifics on the role you play in Quiz Bowl and Newspaper would help.</p>

<p>(What national tournament were you at? I was at the NAQT finals in Chicago this year).</p>

<p>Well almost nothing I've listed offers any leadership positions. German NHS has nothing (I was 1 of 2 people in my class to get in.. and the other one was a native German speaker), none of the math ones have anything. I was secretary general of the model UN if you can count that. Our Quiz Bowl team went to NAC in Orlando, the closest thing we have to leadership is a captain and we even take turns with that. The only real position is for the newspaper and, regrettably (I didn't join in Freshman year) I am not the editor.</p>
