<p>Hey everyone! As stated in the title, I would like to be chanced for Georgetown & UVA! </p>
<p>It's going to be a little tough considering that I'm only a junior and haven't taken the SAT or ACT yet. All I want to know is if I'm on the right track for these schools or if I should just give up hope now! </p>
<p>My top pick is Georgetown. Here are my stats:
White, Female, Maryland.
4.0 GPA unweighted & I think 4.6 or 4.7 weighted. </p>
<p>Freshman:
Geometry honors, Government honors, Gym/Health (req.), Foundations of Technology (req.), English 9 honors, French II honors, Algebra Based Physics honors, & Piano I. </p>
<p>Sophomore:
Algebra 2 honors, Pre-Calc honors, English 10 honors, Modern World History honors, Journalism, Publications, Biology honors, French III honors.</p>
<p>Junior (current):
AP US History, Journalism II, Publications II, Publications III, AP Calculus A/B, AP Lang, Chemistry honors. </p>
<p>Trying to take online AP classes next semester, and am guessing I will take 3 or 4 my senior year, graduating with at least 6 or 7. </p>
<p>ECs:
News Editor for newspaper
Business & Marketing Director for newspaper
Associate Editor in Chief of yearbook this year
Editor in Chief of yearbook senior year
Model UN (1 year)
Open Studio (1 year)
Lots of community service (tutoring children in public housing, helping with childrens classes at an art center, volunteering at a place that helps autistic kids & adults, & in the future will volunteer at animal control center & local library)
Had job over the summer at my local pool as front desk person (not really an EC) </p>
<p>Awards:
Letter & lamp pin for academic achievement freshman & sophomore year (ceremony hasn't been held yet this year)
Honorable mention for position paper in Model UN on the Kyoto Protocol regarding Austria
3rd place Mike Powell Excellence in Journalism Award for Best Editorial On An Issue</p>
<p>I'm a good writer (English teacher gave recommendation for me to skip English 11 and go straight to AP Lang) & will have great recommendations! </p>
<p>Will be doing Forensics & Debate this year, along with hopefully NHS, NEHS, and a couple other clubs! </p>
<p>Also, my mom went to Georgetown for her graduate degree and I have a hook as to how I could've easily let my grades slip & have something to blame it on but I overcame the challenge & did well. </p>
<p>Thank you guys sooo much! I hope I'm on the right track so far and would love any advice or anything you can give me! Thanks everyone :)</p>
