<p>Btw, i heard that georgetown doesnt look at writing, how true is this? so does that mean my 640 for writing isnt considered?</p>

<p>Pretty good stats, though it’s harder as an International student to get in - but I think you have a pretty good shot. And yes Gtown does not consider Writing section.</p>

<p>I was recently admitted as an international student to MSB and I think you have a good shot of getting in. My SAT 1 scores were much lower than yours (although I got straight As for my A levels). </p>

<p>Even though you have solid credentials, you should start drafting your personal essay from now. </p>

<p>I think that someone who has phenomenal credentials and a mediocre, unconvincing essay is less likely to get in than someone who has a solid personal essay and a lower SAT score. (once you have at least a 1900)
You must show the committee what makes you unique-in your case, I noticed that you were in the army. You could talk about that in your essay. While writing the essay if at any point you feel like its not your voice-start over.
Good luck</p>
