<p>I am currently a junior and I'm expecting my GPA to be around a 3.65 weighted. I know that's not the best GPA but I do have a lot of extracurricular activities. I was really lazy my first two years of high school, and I didn't get really motivated until this year and I have found a passion of mine and I want to major in economics, I haven't taken either the SAT or the ACT but I am scheduled to do so, I just want to know what chances I have of getting in.

<p>Your extracurriculars are above average. To have a chance, you will need to have a rock solid GPA the rest of the way and some high test scores… The upward trend in GPA and high test scores will help negate the low GPA. Unweighted GPA is a little more significant than weighted. At some schools, you can have a C in all AP classes and have something around a 3.65 weighted or higher. </p>

<p>I would definitely focus on academics… The extracurriculars and community service are good, but academics are more important. Look at Georgetown’s average test scores, and that will help you measure yourself up. I believe the unweighted average GPA at Georgetown is ~3.85</p>
