<p>GTown could go either way (where exactly are you appling? SFS?)
All the others you shouldn't struggle with.</p>

<p>good luck!</p>

3

<p>Haha, I see a lot of myself in your list of stats here! Decent SATs and a huge helping of extracurriculars (including Eagle Scout). I think you have a good chance for Georgetown!</p>

4

<p>Thanks for the info!</p>

5

<p>not very good SATs</p>

6

<p>..are they low enough to keep me out?</p>

7

<p>No, they won't keep you out on their own, but they're definitely borderline, if it came down to the wire, they might tip the scale against you. </p>

<p>Is that your only SAT II? Because they very, very strongly recommend 3, you're chances would go down quite a bit if those were the only ones you sent.</p>

8

<p>Yeah, I applied to Georgetown--they require 3 SATII's. I ended up taking 6, in 4 different subjects.</p>

9

<p>They don't require SAT IIs, but they strongly recommend, as simpson98 said, that you take three. Technically, not having three SAT IIs will not disqualify you for admission.</p>

10

<p>Your test scores sure don't help you. But being an Eagle Scout seems to turn some admissions officers on. Its a crap shoot, but best of luck!</p>
