<p>Just be honest about my chances for Georgetown please. and if you can think of any way to improve?</p>

<p>You need to spend more time practicing for your standardized exams. Take as many timed practice tests as you can, until your hands hurt from filling out bubbles and your eyes water from reading questions.</p>

<p>If you really “absolutely love” Georgetown, show them you mean it.</p>

<p>Your achievements are very impressive. Don’t let SAT scores keep you out.</p>
