<p>Hi.
So I go to a really good private school in nyc which is recognized as being like extremely hard and such. Like this year, out of a class of 102, we sent like 21 kids to HYPS. People in the middle(B - B+) of that class got sent to like Hopkins, Emory etc. And everybody got into college.
And I just got back my jr year grades, and my gpa(we dont actually have GPAs but i calculated it) was a 3.57. It had been a little bit lower freshman and sophomore years(like a B/B+).</p>

<p>My sats were 2210 - 750 CR, 720 W, 740 M.
Sat IIs - 710Math I, 750 US history.</p>

<p>The highlights of my extras are
1.) 3 sport varsity athlete
Baseball, varsity since freshman year.
Cross Country - 1 year varsity.
Indoor track - 2 years varsity.
2.) Newspaper sectional editor.
3.) Paid internship with a neurologist.
4.) Alumni Affairs club co-president (legit club that makes money for the school)
and a good amount of community service and such.</p>

<p>Also, I will have good Recs.</p>

<p>So with all of this, what are my chances, be honest! and i will chance back.</p>

<p>Your grades are a bit low. If your school is well known enough, may recognize that your school is very rigorous, and they may take that into account in their judging. You still should try to get more As senior year, and you might get in. Your ECs and SAT looks fine.</p>

<p>Cool, any other stuff I can do?</p>

<p>You need 3 SAT II’s at Georgetown. I think a lot kids overlook this.</p>

<p>You are in. Don’t sweat it. I know the school you are referring to. It has a very strong reputation and a 3.6 will be recognized as strong (your scores show it). Don’t write (or say “like” so often - it grinds on older folks who populate the admitions comm.)</p>
