<p>I did mediocre on SAT and ACT. GPA of 3.1 freshman year, 2.5 sophomore year, 4.0 junior year. Taken WHAP, English Lit AP and got 5s on both. Plan to take English AP, Micro and Macro Econ, Spanish AP, Human Geo AP, and Stats AP senior year. Over 800 hours of volunteer/community service including camp counselor at local mosque and working with habitat for humanity in the summer. Have earned a couple of scholarships but will definitly get some money if need-based. Extracurriculars involve field hockey, lacrosse, founder of operation smile group at school( very active), president of model un club, amnesty international, vice president of international student organization, parlimentarian of student government, historian of student council. I have also been writing a book about being an immigrant teen in America that has gotten some attention from publishers. I really passionate when it comes to these activities. I have organized many letter writing campaigns against the death penalty in my state and continue to raise money to increase the number of surgeries for operation smile our school sponsors (14). I am a decent writer and human being so I am not worried about my essay or interview, I'm just scared they will look over me immediately because of the lack luster grade point average. I am black and muslim(don't know if that helps, diversity and what not) and am fluent in four languages. I want to manor in international studies and minor in arabic. Please just give me a serious answer as to what type of letter I should be excepting from Georgetown (or any school for that matter)next year.</p>
<p>Freshman and sophomore year will severely hurt your chances there.</p>
<p>what can I do to make up for that, if anything?</p>
<p>If you did mediocre on your SAT and ACT, then buy some study guides and don’t let them collect dust on your bedroom floor. Study them. Know them inside and out. Go back, take those tests, and make over a 2000. That’s what it takes to get into the schools you are looking at.</p>
