chances for georgetown and possibly others

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

I’m only a sophomore, but I’m super anxious about college and I probably spend too much time on this site. If anyone wants to tell me my chances for Georgetown or possibly any Ivies, that would be much appreciated.

GPA (unweighted): 3.95
I haven’t taken the ACT, SAT, or PSAT, but I took the Aspire test which is like a practice ACT and it said my predicted ACT score is 31-33, but I’m hoping to do better. I don’t plan on taking the SAT (bad idea?), but I do plan on taking a few subject tests.
Rank: I’m pretty sure my school doesn’t rank since it’s so big and about 25 students graduate with 4.0’s each year, but if it does then I’ll probably be in the top 5-10% range.
I’m taking honors English, Algebra II/Trig, Western Civilization, and regular Chemistry (no honors option). My electives are choir and Latin II.
Algebra II/Trig is already one grade ahead in math, but I’m studying pre-calc on Khan Academy so I can skip pre-calc and take AP Calc AB next year.
I have all my classes planned out for junior and senior year, so by the time I graduate I’ll have 5 AP classes.

ECs (this is what I’m most worried about):
Forensics (oratory, starting this year and I plan to do it until senior year, so 3 years)
JV cross country since freshman year, and I’ll get a varsity letter senior year for being on the team for all four years
Voice lessons 5 years (as of this year, it’ll be 7 when I’m a senior)
Piano lessons 7 years (as of this year, it’ll be 9 when I’m a senior)
Local youth choir 2 1/2 years (as of this year, it’ll be 4 1/2 when I’m a senior)
Volunteering at hospital- starting this month, a few hours every weekend
School musical this spring, and I plan to do it junior and senior year as well
Hopefully I’ll get into NHS!!
Once I have the time, I plan on getting a job at a local cafe
I’d like to have a job/internship at a state legislator’s office, which I haven’t looked into much but it’s a possibility
I’m also going to be tutoring two of my friends in math, and I may sign up to do some official peer tutoring at my school
In junior year and senior year I’ll probably be taking an additional course at UW Madison (where I live), most likely courses about International Relations or Criminal Justice.

Summer:
Last summer I did the UW Summer Music Clinic as well as two musical theater camps.
This summer I plan on doing the music clinic again, but I also plan on being a counselor at a youth summer camp for 4-5 weeks

So there you have it. Please let me know what you think! Thanks.

PS: I know I’m repeating a post that I already made, but I’m hoping for some answers this time around

PPS: My mom got her PhD at Yale, would that affect my chances there?

Stop freaking about colleges because that will just ruin your time in high school. I’m serious, stress about them as a senior.

Georgetown likes people who have at least a little bit of politics in their application so taking those two courses would be great. But if you’re not really into those subjects you should take something you are interested in. You can show that you’re exploring politics through joining a political club.

Taking Calculus as a junior is a great idea. I personally did that and greatly regretted not taking BC calc as a senior, so if you have the option of doing BC calc I would do it as a senior.

Having a job for more than 2 years looks fantastic and you should totally try to get one, even if you only work on the weekends or a few amount of hours. Try to get a job that’s something you could see yourself doing for at least a year because you don’t want to hop around.

Your EC’s look pretty good, get as much leadership as possible though, having positions in clubs and stuff like that.
If you get a 32-33 you will be fine for testing. (30,31 is also fine but you have a lot of time to improve your test scores)
You might not want to hear this, but you need to stop stressing. Essays are a huge portion of your application and doing fun things that you want to do give you a lot of good experiences. Don’t study all day, do fun stuff and challenge yourself in things you want to do.

thanks so much- I definitely plan on taking calc BC as a senior, since math is my favorite subject. I’m thinking of joining Model UN next year, since I’m pretty interested in international relations and stuff
