<p>i would not even bother to retake the SAT...you'll get in</p>

3

<p>Verbal is a bit weak. I suggest retaking the SATs. Remember, at the moment, Georgetown admissions policy is to not consider the writing score. (Although that may change).</p>

<p>Paulus89: "you'll get in" Excuse me, no one is a guarantee. I had better stats, solid application and was rejected at Georgetown, along with many, many others. I'd still say she has a solid chance though, Gtown loves valedictorians, unless you are in the 40% they don't like.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

5

<p>Verbal is lower, but 2190 is nothing to fuss about. I am not sure if this is entirely true, but retaking with an already decent score might appear a little grade conscious.</p>

6

<p>i just got my ACT score back (35) would it be beneficial to just send this score instead of the SAT(s)?</p>

7

<p>sure, send that</p>
