<p>Hello!</p>

<p>Your SAT, subject tests, and class rank are marginal.
Extracurriculurs are probably also marginal because there really aren’t any major leadership positions. Why are your essays only so-so? </p>

<p>You definitely have a chance. None of us really knows what Georgetown will say. We can only parrot statistics of past Gtown admissions and make a subjective analysis on everything else. I would say you have a slightly higher chance than the average applicant.</p>
