<p>I applied already for RD, and Georgetown is my top choice, but ever since visiting the school, I've been unable to get April 1st out of my head! Would any of the hundreds of people who are reading this chance me to give what you think would be a fair assessment of my chances? </p>
<p>Objective stuff-
SAT I: 780M, 800CR
SAT II: 800 US History, 780 Math II, 700 Lit
GPA: 3.66 UW, 5.5 W, Top 2-3% of my class

SFS essay: US-Chinese fights for regional hegemonic power in the south china sea, real nice

<p>I know it all sounds good, but there were some Cs junior year (had senioritis early...), and that's actually knocked me out from my ED choice (columbia) and Michigan. What do you think?</p>
