<p>I really would LOVE to go to Georgetown, but I DON'T think I can get in (im trying not to get my hopes up for anything)! I know it's a reach but chance me please!!</p>

<p>I'd say you competitive and have just as good a chance as anyone. You SAT's and class rank are right there within GU's ranges. Good luck!</p>

<p>I agree. It seems like you have an excellent overall package! I especially like the Girl Scout involvement; I'm an Eagle Scout so I pretty much know what you've been going through!</p>

<p>yea honestly, you seem like you said, very well-rounded. I think you have a great shot</p>

<p>I agree with the above. Just a couple of things. I do not believe Georgetown "superscores" ACT. I know that most schools will not give you a new composite but they might look at individual scores so hopefully they're close from test to test. Second: You need 3 subject tests and I am not all together certain you can do Math I and Math II as two different tests and would be something to check into... and quickly.</p>

<p>LAstly. You mention a ton of community service that is not random. THis is good, and if you are attaching a resume (which shouldn't be longer than two pages ideally) I would chunk it somehow whether that be: Children Services, Community Outreach, or Green initiatives. Somehow group your efforts especially if you have a ton. Otherwise it may visually look like a long list of randomness.</p>

<p>Good luck!!</p>

<p>No superscores. And it is not a reach at all.</p>
