Colleges and Universities A-Z Georgetown University

<p>i think Georgetown is definitely a reach for me, but i'd like some other opinions. i didn't apply EA because i'd convinced myself i couldn't get in although my brother seems to think otherwise. does anyone know how the acceptance rate differs between EA and regular?
anyway, my stats (in short): </p>

<p>white female
Michigan
small public school, rural </p>

<p>class rank: 1 of about 75
GPA: 4.0 unweighted
ACT: 28 (my downfall..)</p>

<p>activities: michigan youth in government, treasurer of NHS, big brothers big sisters, marching/concert band, honor student sophomore yr, 4 yrs french, 200 hrs community service (MSSA), red cord honors program, 4 yrs Varsity tennis, worked during summer as camp counselor, volunteered w/ presidential campaign during freshman year</p>

<p>no alumni ties unfortunately. and i would apply to georgetown college </p>

<p>my brother is a US diplomat and would be back in DC training for his next post if i were there in 2012. my dream is to work in the foreign service! but i wouldn't apply to the walsh school because it's much more competitive (from what i've gathered) and i'm not 100% sure about my major.</p>

<p>i'd love some honest input! thanks in advance</p>

<p>you definitely have a shot because of that GPA… what is your weighted gpa?, its hard to tell how much weight your grades have because i dont know how hard your school is. how many times did you take the ACT? maybe try the SAT? if you get a 30 or a 2100 SAT i think youd have a much better chance because with that score the admissions people can argue your GPA is more believable. I trust that youre very bright, but a 4.0 UW at my school is usually accompanied by a 35-36 ACT or 2350+ SAT.
Also did you take any subject tests?
good luck!</p>
