Can I get into Georgetown???

My dream school at the moment is Georgetown. I am applying EA (and have my interview in a couple of weeks), but I’m just praying I can get in. I am a legacy, but apparently that does not help a ton at Georgetown.

Ethnicity: Asian, White - I’m also Buddhist if that means anything at all. If regional diversity is important at all; I live in New Mexico, so not many applicants from here at all.
ACT: 30, I’m re-taking though on Oct 22, I got that 30 w/o studying way back in February, so I’m thinking a 32+ for this time
SAT: 1300 - though I might not submit this score.
SAT IIs: Math II 730, Bio 760, Lit 800
GPA: 3.4 UW / 3.7 W though my current GPA is 4.9
We do not rank at my school since we only have 60kids in my class lol (230 in the whole HS)

Course Load:
Freshman: (H) English, (H) Biology, (H) Chemistry, (H) World History, Spanish I, Geometry
Sophomore: (H) English, AP Environmental Science, AP Euro, Algebra II, Spanish II, Lit Mag
Spanish III over Summer
Junior: AP Lang, AP USH, AP Bio, AP Physics I, Pre-Calc, Lit Mag, Ethics & World Religions
Current: AP Lit, AP Psych, AP Calc BC, AP Computer Science, AP Stats, Lit Mag + Calc 3 at my local state university
I started off with iffy grades in HS (with hard classes though) but have had a strong upward trend, especially right now with my 4.9 GPA
I will not be reporting AP scores so I didn’t think I need to put them on — though I’ve scored mostly 4s and 5s with one 3.

EC:
Track, When I was 15 I was #1 in the country and on the Jr. National Team - I’ve won tons of awards in swimming, and I train about 40hrs a week — probably important to note I am being recruited by schools, but for Gtown I still have to get in academically.

Science Olympiad, 6th place at state 10th and 11th grade, I want to win this year!!!

Co-President of the Queer-Straight Alliance for the 2nd year. (though not gonna lie we don’t do much in the club, but I don’t need to tell colleges that)

W/ Lit Mag; Our magazine is nationally known and considered one of the top magazines in the country; I’m a head-editor this year

Empirical Research: I’ve done research on hindsight bias, overconfidence, and Cognitive dissonance

Violin: I played violin for 9 years before quitting because swimming took up too much time.

TA: over the summer I am a teachers assistant (at a year round school) and I work privately with 1st graders who are struggling.

Currently I am interning at the university hospital near me; I do that every weekend for about 15hrs a week

I really emphasise in my personal statement my diversity of being biracial, and gay. I also disclose why the reason my grades suffered is we moved A LOT - like about 14 times during high school alone, across three different states. I did talk about after though how that was a big learning experience for me. Though I’ve gone to the same school for most of it since a lot of it was moving within the city. Don’t worry, my essay is good (I think), and my dad is a former admissions councillor and said it was solid.

Going to such a small school, I do know my letters of rec will be very good - both from my teachers and my councillor, I know them all very well.

I just really want to go to Georgetown. It’s been a dream of mine since I was really little; both my dad and grandfather went there. I will be applying to Georgetown College and I want to double major in mathematics and psychology (pre-med).

Track before swimming—that is my older sister not me. Not sure what I was thinking lol. I am a swimmer; I cannot do land sports very well hehe

Georgetown gives the legacy boost in the RD round not the SCEA round. Are you applying early because of your swimming?

what’s your major?

@Testingearly I am not applying early for swimming. The coaches were a bit difficult to get in contact with. Though, I do have some backups through swimming that could admit me immediately without going through the application process completely. I’m hoping to get in through EA, but the site says 15% of deferred apps from EA still get accepted in the RD round which is kind of comforting.

@edrissen I states my major at the very bottom. I’m applying to Georgetown College and am planning on majoring in Mathmatics — potentially a double major with Psych as well.
