Chance me for Georgetown?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>My SATs are 800 reading and 670 for math and writing right now, although when I retake I'm expecting closer to a 750 for writing. I'm currently signed up for Math 2, literature, and US History SAT Subject tests.
My GPA isn't great, it's 3.5 unweighted. I am in all AP/honors classes, and by the end of senior year I'll have taken AP Chem, AP US history, AP World history, AP comparative government, AP Physics 1, AP Language and composition, AP literature, and AP AB calculus. I'll have three years of accelerated Spanish.
As far as extracurriculars go, I've been an editor of our school paper for three years, and I'll be editor in chief for the third year. I host a weekly radio show which focuses on music and on teens' perspectives of current events. I'll have been an intern with our local NPR affiliate for two years, and I work there probably eight hours a week on average writing press releases, copy, promos, etc. and producing shows and promos. I'm also a varsity player on our knowledge bowl team and a member of/writer for the video productions club. This coming summer, I'll be working at NPR's Seattle affiliate.
I'm hoping to major in international relations and maybe linguistics or journalism.
I'm very confident in my essays, and I'll have stellar letters of recommendation.</p>

<p>I'm also uncorrectably legally blind because of my albinism (I'm albino). I'm not sure how this will affect my application.</p>

<p>I know Georgetown is a stretch, but the school of foreign service is certainly my dream school. Any tips, or opinions?</p>

<p>Definitely aim to get the math above 700, but don’t worry too much about it. Your academics are good. However, in most cases academics won’t be what makes or breaks you. 80% of people applying to gtown are academically qualified. Concentrate on the out of schools stuff. You’re clearly very passionate and dedicated to what you do. Commitment is big. Write your essay about NPR/radio/communications. That’s unique and makes you stand out. Consider applying to Georgetown college for journalism/linguistics since you can make a much better case for that program based on your experience. Then if you want sfs you can switch over from the college. </p>

<p>Thank you all, especially @Zeke55‌. I hadn’t thought of that, but applying to the journalism school certainly does make more sense with my extracurriculars. I probably would have a better chance that way. Thanks so much! </p>
