<p>Low GPA and low/average scores. You could get again as your experiences in Korea are very weighty.</p>

<p>BUT… </p>

<p>My one thing which confuses me is that everything you talk about you haven’t done yet. </p>

<p>Your GOING to get your license.
Your GOING to take classes at Georgetown.
Your GOING to create an international soccer organization.
Your GOING to be in FBLA.</p>

<p>The issue is that a lot of your more interesting activities… YOU HAVENT DONE YET. Your plans may very well change and things may not go as you hoped. Everyone who applies to any top college has an angle. If you can actually do the things you promise, and narrow your multitude of ECs (science research, business modeling, soccer, Korean clubs) to highlight something great, you could have a chance. But I cant tell you that until you have done what you said and you raise every quantitative stat you have.</p>

<p>Chance me!</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply
I know that lot of things are getting done or at early stage…
and thats why I am trying to work on Summer to get those done
and those are what I really enjoy too…</p>

<p>Most of my plan I believe will be finished by the time I turn in my application.
FBLA I couldnt join this year because I wasnt taking any business course this year (only business course ppl can take it). but definitely next year.
Organzation… I already found it but its at really primary stage.
GTown Summer Credit Course - I am waiting for the admission results.
and that license… I already applied for course/ exam… (hopefully I will make it :slight_smile: )</p>

<p>But thanks for the comment. I really appreciate it.</p>

<p>and I forgot to mention some other extracurricular activities like habitat … but never mind</p>

<p>From your numerical statistics, I’d say you have an amazing shot! You have a competitive resume, but your going to have to find something else that makes up for the low GPA.</p>
