<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I'm gonna keep this as short as I can but try and give you guys detail.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.375 slight upward trending. First trimester of senior year I had a 3.65(3 AP, 1 Honors out of 6) and before that 3.58. Freshman year was bad. Soph 3.405 and Junior was a 3.405(low grades in Alg2)</p>

<p>Rigor: The most the my schedule allowed for. I will finish with around 6 honors and 5 AP classes.</p>

<p>SAT: CR(700) Math(660)</p>

<p>Teacher recs were good. I read one and it was short but I think it was pretty good. I did not read the second letter but it was like a page long. Counselor recommendation was probably generic but good.</p>

<p>The interview went well. We talked for about 45 minutes about business, Georgetown and the work. </p>

<p>ECS:
*Started my own business selling digital currency in video games. Successful and generating revenue
* Freelance work doing online marketing. Clients include million dollar company, doctors, lawyer.</p>

<p>Black URM male, low income, and immigrant. My high school is not amazing but not bad. The kids that try go usually end up at The U of MN or Madison. The stats are there for the class but they just don't apply.</p>

<p>Low GPA and test scores. Also… no subject tests?</p>

<p>I’ve already explained to them why I couldn’t take the subject. Isn’t the average CR+M for MSB like 1400? And from what i’ve seen based on SAT to ACT concordance tables it equals about a 31.</p>

<p>The average is like a 1400 (so your test scores are fine), but a 3.3 GPA, even with the upward trend and URM bump, might be a killer… Your EC’s are interesting (I did something similar, at least in the field of online gaming; I managed some YouTube channels and did a bunch of contract work with advertisers), but they won’t be enough to get you in. </p>

<p>Overall, admissions is a possibility, but the GPA makes it a low one.</p>
