<p>I was also wondering if being from another country be considered a "hook"?</p>
<p>Thanks.......</p>
<p>We have similar interests! I am also interested in science and russian. I am only a junior, so I still have some time. What school are you applying to at Georgetown?</p>
<p>What are the 3 Honor Societies? You look well qualified.</p>
<p>How do you get a 5.1 GPA? Are there 6 point classes?</p>
<p>I have a 5.1 because our school weighs Dual Enrollement/AP/IB classes .08. The three honor societies: NHS, Rho Kappa, and Mu Alpha Theta. Im applying to COS… Thanks guys… I feel like the next few months are going to be really interesting :)</p>
<p>I don’t know if there is an AP Russian exam even though our school offers the class.</p>
<p>I think you have a solid shot. Your SAT and Subject Test scores are right in the range that they’re looking for, and it’s obvious you’re taking challenging courses this year.</p>
<p>As for being an international student, I wouldn’t exactly call that a “hook.” I’ve always thought of a hook as something that catches the attention of the Admissions Committee because it’s a distinguishing characteristic/achievement. Georgetown gets plenty of international applicants, so I don’t think it will help (or hurt) you.</p>
<p>I’m a permanent resident, so i wouldn’t be applying a international. I was looking at the student body stats for several schools and i didn’t find anyone from the country I’m from.</p>
<p>I don’t love your odds. Your SATs are solid, but far from overwhelming, as are your ECs. So you might get in, but the odds are certainly less than 50/50</p>
