<p>Georgetown you have a great shot but UPenn will definitely be a reach considering your test scores, GPA, and ECs. I think Georgetown you should get in.</p>

<p>Your test scores are good except for the SATI.
Good, not great ECs
I would think that since Georgetown is big on the subject tests, your scores aren’t helping there. However, you’re a strong applicant and wish you the best of luck!</p>
