<p>I know that I don't have a ton of APs but I'm hoping they will understand that I can't take all AP because I work at starbucks after school? </p>
<p>540 Math portion of the SAT? I think you know the answer already. If you really really want to give yourself a chance then boost all your SAT scores over 700.</p>
<p>Try to increase your math score. If you’re really not the standardized test taker, I would try your ABSOLUTE BEST to WOW them in your essays. My best scores were well below the mean (though I had great grades), but my essays and my teacher recommendations I think really sold me as a student. I have a post in the Georgetown group where I talked about my stats. It is possible, it’s just you really have to SHOW yourself. I can’t stress that enough. </p>
<p>But if you can, try to get your scores as high as they possibly can be.</p>
<p>I think the main issue that could arise would be your Math SAT score. It’s pretty low, given GT’s typical scores for incoming freshmen. Also, your two SATII scores are somewhat low; ideally you want them at 700 or higher. Perhaps taking the SATs again would help you improve your score, and there are tons of resources available to help boost your math score. Lastly, the low number of APs may be an issue, but you can emphasize your work experience to compensate for that. Good luck!</p>
<p>The fact of the matter is Georgetown will see ALL of your scores.
That being said, I believe your chances increase with one sitting and good scores. Your chances decrease with multiple sittings to achieve good scores. BUT, if this is where you want to go, you must try.</p>
<p>Try to increase your SAT to over 700 on each part. For subject tests, you need 3, and over 750 each. Your scores now are just below the median of the applicant pool. Also need excellent essays and good letters of recomm.</p>
<p>Definitely retake the SAT and keep your grades stellar in your first term senior year. Your EC’s look good. As the OP mentioned, try and write the best essay you can possibly write to set yourself apart from everyone else.</p>
<p>Georgetown requires three SAT test scores. So add another one and re-take the Math.</p>
<p>Their average SAT among acceptees is not top-10, but (like USC, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, etc.) they let in a lot of kids who frankly bring down those averages quite a bit. </p>
<p>I get the feeling that Georgetown is like Washington U in that they <em>do not</em> look preferentially upon applicants who are not completely stoked to go there. They loathe being seen as HYPSM safeties.</p>
<p>So get those scores up, take the third SAT 2, and schedule a visit. Write a heartfelt essay driving home your love for Georgetown. Naybe print some correspondence on gray paper and make the font color dark blue. </p>
<p>Those things will increase your chances for admission.</p>
<p>Forgot to mention, Georgetown looks at only Math & Verbal parts of your SAT1, so in your case 1220/1600, which is low, so try best your improve these two parts. as for the subject tests try to get up to 750 to be safe. </p>
<p>Georgetown, like other selective schools, does not just only look at your scores, but they do expect applicants’ scores to be within one or two standard deviation of the average scores. The fact is each year, they reject maybe 80% of the very qualified applicants due to the limited spots available.</p>
<p>Just prepare your best and work on the essays etc.</p>
