<p>bump please:)!</p>

3

<p>i think you have a shot. I'm guessing that your white? But then KY is under represented.
-Do you have alot of Literature ec to show your passion about it?</p>

4

<p>i have a lot of writing ECs, and I plan to focus both my essays around books and novels. :). anyone else? i would appreciate input!</p>

5

<p>Did you take SATs? Judging by what I gleaned from the EA acceptance thread, SATs play a relatively large role in admissions.</p>

6

<p>Just the ACT and SAT: IIs</p>

7

<p>bump?!? ACT replaces SAT...</p>

8

<p>can I bump this up again? What kind of chance do I have on a scale of 1-10? I just sent in my app yesterday!:)</p>

9

<p>bump please...please? for new years eve?</p>

10

<p>I also applied. I've got a 31 like you on the act, but I also took the SAT and did a bit better. I got deferred EA and so did the other top students in my school who applied. I'd say you've definately got a shot. Recs and essays will make or break you. Also, how will the mid year report look?</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

11

<p>Straight A's in all AP classes, plus an extra college night class and an A in it for the midyear report.
I am sending 3 teacher recs and my counselor rec and they should all be good:)
I felt really good about my personal statement -- it was really creative -- and i let my passion shine through I hope in my other essay.</p>

<p>Good luck --- I am nervous/excited/anxious! I love Georgetown.</p>

12

<p>Looking really good!</p>

13

<p>I can't say whether or not you'll be accepted; however, the Valedictorian position (1st ranking) may help you in admissions, as there are a plethora at Georgetown.</p>

<p>On a scale of 1-10, what do you think my chances are? What do you think I can do to improve my chances?</p>
