<p>This all puts you in the middle of a large, very competitive applicant pool. Everything is very good, but unexceptional by GU standards.</p>

<p>You mentioned that you’re only sending one of your SATs, but I believe Georgetown requires that you send them everything you’ve taken.</p>

<p>They do require every test <em>cough</em></p>

<p>Don’t be fooled by any of the chances on this site. The admissions specialist will look at your total picture. High scores will not guarantee a spot in Georgetown, it is only a tiny piece of the process. Your essays, character, community service and academic make-up will shine brighter than mere test. Thousands of students have great scores but, they do not stand out as unique because their essays do not relay who they really are. My essay and character opened the door for me. Thank God because I’m thriving at Georgetown.</p>

<p>Thank you so much for that!! People rely so much on their scores and forget that character/personality is important as well.</p>
