You are a competitive applicant. Assuming you got a 33+ on the ACT or a 1500+ on the SAT, your stats are good and your ECs are decent. With great essays you could get accepted to any of these schools
I got a 34 on the ACT but bc of the Emory rejection I wasn’t sure, so thank you
Hi @sostressed201,
I wouldn’t worry much. I was accepted to Georgetown’s EA program, which is more competitive (12% this year), with mediocre stats, compared to yours. Actually, yours are great! From your scores and activities, I can tell you that you have a good chance of getting in. But don’t worry so much about stats as these colleges want the real you, not stats. There are other factors like your recommendation letters, how good were each of your three essays?
I only have a 4.1 GPA, 1300 SAT but my EC’s revolve around government (my major) and my letter of recommendations helped a lot since my teachers let me read it.
If you want, I’ll share my stats via PM. Hope to see you on the hilltop!
