<p>I was actually interested too until I found out the SFS is the hardest of the colleges in Georgetown to get into, so if you're REALLy sure I would give it a shot, but people have told me that with my stats, which are slightly similar to yours, I have only a slim chance of getting, just b/c of our "low" SAT scores...your EC's are ok, could be better but I think your ethnicity will help</p>

<p>really? i thought her scores are pretty decent...they're actually similar to mine. i don't really rely too much on statistics, but is the SFS really looking for something 2220+ ?</p>

<p>well georgetown doesnt look at the writing section, which kind of hurts her, her math is obviously great but the reading is weak the 25-75% for sfs is 710-770 so she is below the 25%
