<p>any thoughts would be great thanks</p>

<p>Gtown requires 3 subject tests… Your sat is also pretty low… You probably won’t get in</p>

<p>Can you give us the breakdown on your SAT?</p>

<p>+1 satman. SAT looks low for GU.</p>

<p>Maybe OP means 1580 for the M+CR without W. That SAT looks too low for someone with OP’s GPA and AP scores.</p>

<p>^^that’s why I asked formthe breakdown on the SAT; it’s ambiguous.</p>

<p>Sorry guys. Gtown requires only the Math and CR so thats why I gave it out of 1600</p>

<p>My SAT2s are 720 in math 1 690 in us history and i took phyics and math 2 but the grades arent in yet</p>

<p>Thanks for clarifying.</p>

<p>If that’s CR+M only, I see no reason not to apply. There are no guarantees of course, but you’re in the sweet spot.</p>

<p>A word of unsolicited (and possibly unnecessary) advice: please don’t write your essay about the service trip to Guadeloupe. They get hundreds of those essays every year, especially from SFS applicants who want to show off their “international experience”. You will go much further showing them the uniqueness of <em>you</em>.</p>

<p>Good luck! And don’t forget to sit in John Carroll’s lap at least once if you get in.</p>

<p>If you paid for the service trip then don’t write about it. Otherwise, I would. My activity essay (for SFS) was about some articles I wrote for journalism, and my creative essay was about traveling I’ve done. 100% cliche.</p>
