<p>you're definitely in the running of becoming... a successful applicant in all those. seriously, you look focused and driven</p>
<p>Are you applying SFS to georgetown? </p>
<p>And the only thing that looks weak is your class rank, and in turn your GPA because what I see is serious grade inflation. </p>
<p>However your SATs make up for that partly. </p>
<p>Good chances.</p>
<p>maybe it's not grade inflation- sometimes there are these crazy people who take like as many aps as possible and dominate courses like ap calc and physics</p>
<p>i'm thinking of applying for college or NHS instead of SFS.</p>
<p>and yeah there is grade inflation at my school :x the highest GPA in my grade is around 4.44W one of the reasons why my GPA isn't as high is because i don't have honors credit for chinese because i came back to taiwan too late to take higher level chinese classes. most people in my grade have chinese honors, though.</p>
<p>thanks for your comments, though :) anybody else have opinions?</p>
<p>@lilian09 I was just trying to see it like a college would. Maybe they will, maybe they won't, but I think that it is an important point to bring up. And you are right, sometimes there are a TON of very intelligent people. </p>
<p>@bananasplits Since it isn't SFS then good-great chances at Georgetown.</p>
<p>The grade inflation makes it a little harder to predict, but you seem driven and focused. For Emory - I think you're in. My friend got into Emory and her stats were... well, not quite as stellar as yours. But she did have an amazing essay (it's in one of those how-to books about college essays if that's any indication).</p>
