<p>how much volunteering hours do you have? whats your course load like?</p>
<p>i think you need to answer those questions before anyone chances you
after all, your scores are (hate to say it) really weak -- we need to see if your community service/course load can make up for it</p>
<p>either way, i hope you just didnt bother listing your safeties, because anyone who applies to those schools needs one or two</p>
<p>no i did not post them, and my hours are over 400 easily</p>
<p>if you're from MD, G-town is gonna be very, very tough.</p>
<p>what do you think my weaknesses are and where do you think i stand? doesn't being an eagle scout help, and i had great recs. essays, and a good interview</p>
<p>The SAT's a weakness, JHU and G-town are pretty tough schools. Of course I've seen JHU playing definite affirmative action, but G-town seems pretty fair in its acceptance. I think you have a good shot, good ECs.</p>
<p>Same. The SATs are the only thing that look notsogreat on the app.
Otherwise, great GPA and ECs - g'luck!</p>
<p>so do you think that my ec's, volunteer work, good essays, interview, recs, and gpa/ rank will offset my notsogreat sats?</p>
<p>Errr. Did you retake them...?
Or are those your highest?</p>
<p>those are my highest =/</p>
<p>im horrible at sats, obviously</p>
<p>May I ask what county in MD? I can tell from the info that you're not MOCO, which is good, because you need a 4.0, 2400 and a cure for cancer to get into Georgetown from MoCo.</p>
<p>i am actually from baltimore county</p>
<p>Ah, that's a bit of a help. The problem is, Georgetown gets so many apps from MD schools that in order to get in, you have to be super competitive. Being from Maryland puts you at a pretty heavy disadvantage when it comes to Georgetown.</p>
<p>Well. You know what? Standardized tests don't really measure anything (although I hope they weigh a lot because my SATs were great but my GPA is really bad) BUT
Clearly you're a qualified applicant. I'll say you're in the running for all the schools.
And I heard Eagle Scouts get brownie points. So gluck!</p>
