<p>Where your scores/projected scores stand right now, you don't really have a shot at GU, so definitely put a lot of effort into getting those up. EC's look good, my advise for Gtown would be to make sure you highlight some particualr EC that you are really passionate about, they love that versus a long laundry list of EC's.</p>

<p>Best of Luck</p>

<p>Wait until your SATs come in, and keep up good grades, then come back and ask.</p>

<p>You look like a really smart kid who does not do really well on SAT type tests. Take the ACT first and if you do really well, don't take the SAT. </p>

<p>If you take the SAT and don't do really well, Georgetown will see your SAT scores when you send them your SAT II's. </p>

<p>Avoid this by just not taking the SAT at all.</p>

<p>Admissions offices will they say that if you do both the SAT and the ACT, they only look at the best of the two, but I don't believe that.</p>

<p>Your SAT II scores are good and those AP's are look really good - I think you will do well on the ACT. I am impressed that you will have three history AP scores by the end of junior year. </p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
