<p>Very unlikely with that GPA, and a 30 on the ACT and 2030 SAT aren’t up to par either.</p>

<p>obviously I plan on increasing the sat to a 2200+…
i will bring up act also</p>

<p>It’s pretty much impossible to give you an accurate chance with such a low (by Georgetown’s standards) gpa and no test scores to counteract it. Are you sure it’s a good idea to take so many subject tests when you’re test scores haven’t been so high? It might be better to take only 2 or 3 where you are confident you will get top marks. </p>

<p>If I were you I would:

  1. Increase the gpa. A 3.7+ would be good if you can manage.<br>
  2. Increase test scores (but really, a 30 isn’t bad if that’s where you score. You may be alright with this)
  3. Focus ECs- your ec’s are very diverse but it doesn’t look like you’re heavily involved in a few. It’s more all over the place. Are there any ECs that can serve as a hook? You should build those up.</p>
