<p>Hello. I applied to Georgetown EA and will find out in less than a month, but I am really stressing about it. So can you guys chance me please? </p>

<p>I am a Senior at a Catholic Private School. I am originally from Iran, lived in the United Arab Emirates and attended 9th grade there, and then moved to the United States and started sophomore year at the high school I am currently at.
I am fluent/have studied 6 languages. I am fluent in English, Persian, and Arabic, while I have studied French(6 years), Spanish(2 years) and Latin (a year).
I have a 3.9 unweighted GPA (4.0 scale) , and a 4.5 weighted GPA.
I rank 4th in my class.</p>

<p>I am currently taking AP Calc, AP Biology, AP US Government, AP British Literature, and Honors Physics. I have also taken AP Chemistry and AP US History.
I scored a 1960 on my SATs (not too impressive) - with a 690 in math, 680 in writing, and a 590 in reading (for whatever it's worth, english is not my native language)
I am also taking SAT II - Math and Chemistry in December </p>

<p>Here is a list of my EC's
National Honor Society (11, 12)
Key Club (10, 11, 12 Secretary)
International Club (10, 11 Director, 12)
Student Government Association (Class Treasurer 12)
Health Careers Club ( Founder, and President 12)

<p>Outside of School:

Volunteer for UNICEF fundraiser
Volunteer for Habitat for Humanity </p>

<p>SO. what do you guys think? Do I stand a chance or not really? I know my SAT scores are not that impressive, so how badly do you think they will affect my application as a whole?
Thank you for your time!</p>

<p>Your hook is languages- do you plan to major in that? If that portrayed well in your app, then you have a decent shot. Saying that, your scores aren’t fabulous, but not terrible. Also regarding your extracurriculars, your community service work is outstanding, but do you do any sports or theater stuff? </p>

<p>Its really going to be a flip of a coin for you; you have a shot, but I’d also apply to a bunch of other schools.</p>

<p>I am planning on majoring in Biology, but minoring in a language. </p>

<p>I do play Varsity Tennis, and I work backstage for my schools play production. I’ve also won some art awards, and won Poetry Out Loud competitions at the state level… </p>

<p>But thank you so much for your help! I really hope my CR score doesn’t ruin my chances…</p>

<p>This website is helpful but people aren’t obligated to help you, especially with something as uncertain as “chancing” someone. And really, how does being chanced after you sent in your application helpful at all? Will it change your decision if more people say you have a good chance? No, it won’t. I know you’re trying to look for something to hold onto even if it’s someone’s unqualified opinion, but you should just focus on your life and let the decision come when it may.</p>

<p>Not trying to be mean here, but just pointing out some facts.</p>

<p>I’m sorry, I should not have made the comment about this website not being helpful.
You’re right. I will just wait for the decision. What I hear on here won’t make a difference.
Sorry if my comment irritated you. It was not my intention.</p>

<p>Can’t we all be friends? You’ve been pretty harsh on ejohnson on two separate threads now.</p>

<p>@nateheeter </p>

<p>oh thank you! I gotta say, I’m really enjoying being bashed on by a complete stranger post after post. But I’m not here to make enemies, so I decided to let it go.
so thanks, again. :)</p>

<p>Ya man, don’t know what to tell ya, hope you get in, and I’ll even go as far to predict that you have approximately a 20% chance of admission!
Best of luck!</p>

<p>Salaaam, chetori? Dude you have an AWESOME shot at Georgetown. If you need to focus on improving one thing the most, it’s your CR. Other than that, I say just sit back and wait to see that blue housing slip in your acceptance letter b/c you’ve got great stats and an amazing hook.</p>

<p>Please chance me!

<p>Oh, and I applied to Georgetown EA also.</p>

<p>haha Khoobam, to chetoriii?
so you study Persian Languages? That’s pretty cool. </p>

<p>Thanks for chancing me. I might have a slight chance of getting in, but not as much as you do. Good Job on everything you’ve accomplished!</p>

<p>Well, it was never my intention to look harsh, and yet you vilify me openly instead of personally trying to find out my intentions by messaging me. I actually was concerned that you might no have done three SAT II scores in time, most people haven’t, and judging by this thread you haven’t either.</p>

<p>With my annoyance towards chancing after the submission of an application, I saw you had found this:
<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-essays/853735-advice-applicants-who-want-feedback-already-submitted-essays.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-essays/853735-advice-applicants-who-want-feedback-already-submitted-essays.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>You know that I am not fond of anyone doing this, and yet you think I’m targeting you? And I’m glad you just let it go instead of saying I’m trying to make enemies with you, falsely saying that I’ve posted harshly on each of your threads, or leaving a sarcastic comment on a previous thread.</p>

<p>I was just trying to help, and I’m sorry you didn’t feel that way. In the future, I’ll steer clear.</p>

<p>i think you have a decent shot. especially being from out of the states.
