I would appreciate any feedback and advice for the future. I’m visiting Georgetown (dream school), U of Maryland, George Washington, U of Virginia, and Indiana (fallback) during spring break. Also contemplating Air Force, but will definitely do ROTC if I don’t go there.
High school: In Indiana, public, 2,000 students
Class rank: 56 out of 506 (top 15 percent)
Weighted GPA: 4.19
Unweighted GPA: 3.8
I took the ACT in the beginning of my sophomore year without studying and got a 25 twice, but I’m taking in April with hopes to get a 29 or 30.
Currently in the third quarter of my junior year
