<p>I’m a roughly comparable students and I only got into Maryland. But you are different, so it would be foolish to rule anything out</p>

<p>i think your grades are fine, but I would say you should definitely strenghthen those EC’s. Instead of being just a member, try for a leadership position. Do community service and lots of it. Gtown loooves that. Also, are you close with your teachers? Recommendations are also very important, and how about summer activities? I think you have a good chance, just try to up those EC’s and get close with your teachers :slight_smile: Chance me back please? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1466100-georgetown-bc-chances.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1466100-georgetown-bc-chances.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
