Chances at Georgetown, GWU, American

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey- wondering this for a friend of mine for next year's admissions...</p>

<p>So her story is this- she's a junior now, never went to a formal high school because she (successfully) pursued an equestrian career- instead, she takes online classes through the University of Indiana's high school honors program (online). She's done really well in school, takes tons of AP classes, and has straight A's through high school. Now, she's really moved on from the equestrian career and is very focused on academics and is worried that she can't get into college given the uniqueness of her situation. I know it's very basic, but does she have a shot at these three schools even with the uniqueness of her homeschool situation?</p>

<p>Interest: international affairs</p>

<p>GPA: not sure about weighting, but 3.9+ unweighted (honors, AP classes)
AP's: scored 5's on a few AP tests (Gov, American Lit, others?)
Languages: English, German, French (all fluent)
Work experience: worked in Germany for 4 months a few years ago, equestrian career took up a lot of her time and energy</p>

<p>She has not taken her SAT's yet.</p>

<p>With this basic information, is there any way you could offer any insight unto her chances at these three schools??</p>

<p>Obviously this is a case that most CC’ers won’t have a definite input upon. She’s be treated as a home-schooler… so a lot depends on her SAT outcome. I think that with that GPA, she’s a match for American. Georgetown is a reach for basically everyone. Now, she’ll definitely want the schools to know how great she is with horses because that’ll give her uniqueness. If that’s successfully portrayed through her essays, and with around a 2000 on the SAT or a 29~30 on her ACT, I’d say GW will also be a match. Georgetown would need around a 33+ ACT given her unique situation. Good luck!
