Your SAT 2 and GPA are excellent. It also helps that Comp science isn’t a popular major at Georgetown in that it might not be as competitive. However, your SAT score is a major red flag. It’s not impossible, but scoring a 1360 will make you a long shot to get in. Don’t give up hope though.

Apply EA or RD, it really doesn’t matter.

Sorry bud, kiss your chances of acceptance goodbye with that SAT score. Impossible unless your essay is absolutely extraordinary or have some hooks. Your ECAs seem decent. Read in your other thread that you’re an international from india asking for a tremendous amount of aid. Looking like a mountain to climb unless you reapply next year with at least a 1400.
Don’t overlook the emphasis placed on the EBRW score too. 700 + 700 = 1400 is much better than 600 + 800 in maths.
Good Luck
