Colleges and Universities A-Z Georgetown University

<p>Hi, I'm currently a senior, and I'd really be grateful if you'd tell me my chances for getting into Georgetown!
I'm applying to SFS EA, and I go to a top 20 private school in the Northeast.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.8 unweighted
ACT score: 35, 36 if superscored( not sure if Georgetown does this)
SAT II's: 750 Bio M, 700 World History, and 670 Math II (:p)
My school doesn't offer APs, but I did self study Lit and I got a 4</p>

<p>EC's:
Auditioned and made it into select music group at school
NMerit Semi-finalist
Member of MUN and multiple cultural/diversity groups at school
Around 150 hrs of volunteer work
Participated in two foreign study programs for two weeks each
Strong participation in the arts, and have won a few art competitions</p>

<p>My essays aren't stellar or anything mind-blowing, but I've worked on them for the past few months, so I think they're fairly strong, and I believe my teacher recommendations are great, since they know me really well.
I just had the alumni interview two days ago, and I think it went pretty well (although I can be kind of awkward).</p>

<p>I know it's obviously way too late to make any drastic changes to my application, but it'd be great to know where I stand so I can decide on the other schools I'll be applying to. Any general suggestions would also be welcome!</p>

<p>Thanks so much, and I will chance you back if you'd like :)</p>

<p>GU looks at all of your test scores. It would be great if you had some leadership positions but you have an okay chance. Keep your head up :-bd </p>

<p>I think your chances are decent. My d also came from a top New England prep school, her ACT wasn’t as strong, GPA about the same and she was admitted RD. Good Luck!</p>

<p>Your chances look good, but keep in mind the pool of applicants for SFS is always really strong. Your ACT is great, your GPA is good/average. The only problem I think would be no APs (idk how that works honestly, since your school doesn’t offer it?), the lack of leadership in extracurriculars, and maybe your math & WH SAT IIs. The foreign study programs are a nice touch. </p>

<p>I wouldn’t call it a reach for you, probably a low/mid-level chance. </p>
