<p>Wow- my stats are almost exactly the same
except that i have more extracurriculars and APs, and slightly higher SAT scores</p>

<p>and i was rejected from msb</p>

<p>i'm pretty sure it was my essay b/c it was crap</p>

<p>but for now, i have to say, pull up community service hours (can do this through lots of worthwhile programs during the summer) and if possible take more aps</p>

<p>best of luck to you</p>

<p>Bumpity bump bump bump. :)</p>

<p>I think we might be in roughly the same shape. These are my stats. </p>

<p>I'm an upper middle class white male junior from an excellent public school in Massachusetts. </p>

<p>SAT(I) Writing section: 670 (not that Georgetown cares about this section)
SAT(I) Reading section: 730
SAT(I) Math section: 740</p>

<p>(I haven't taken my SAT IIs yet)</p>

<p>GPA: 3.8-3.9 </p>

<p>My school doesn't calculate class rank, but I know I'm in the top 5%. </p>

<p>Junior year I took (I am taking) AP US History and AP Chemistry. I'll probably get a 5 on the AP History test and a 4 on the AP Chemistry test.</p>

<p>I'm in the National Honor Society.</p>

<p>I've been in Boy Scouts since 6th grade and will be getting my Eagle Scout Rank within a month. (I'll be an Eagle Scout by the time I start filling in the college application)</p>

<p>I've been the vice president of Junior Statesmen of America (debate team, essentially) for 2 years running. I've won several best speaker awards </p>

<p>I've been in four school plays including a musical and I've had a leading role in most of them. </p>

<p>I was elected class treasurer in sophomore year and have held the position since then. </p>

<p>I'm in the Young Republicans Club but considering the current climate, perhaps I should omit this one .</p>

<p>I held a part time job at a restaurant for 8 months and then moved on to a better job working for my mother's accounting firm. That is, if you call a home office with 3 other employees a "firm". </p>

<p>I spent some of my summer time going to a summer camp at Haverford College. I took some classes in business and public speaking there. </p>

<p>I have a couple of other random hobbies that might be helpful. I have a SCUBA license, I'm doing crew in this spring, etc. </p>

<p>For senior year I am signed up for 3 AP classes and the rest are serious classes too. I don't plan on slacking off. </p>

<p>(sorry to steal your thread) :)</p>

<p>Yea I am going to apply to Gtown as well and I have almost the same stats as you. Similar GPA/APs, waiting on SATs Monday, but my ECs might be a little bit better, you have more APs than me.</p>

<p>IhateCA what other schools are you applying to, what have you visted. I know we both want to do ibanking. I am thinking about Upenn (crapshoot ED) USC, Umich, Gtown, and IU? Only one I have visted is Gtown, and I really like the campus/being in DC.</p>

<p>Also thinkingn about Northwestern but I think I want to study finance not Eccon, and probly need some schools that I have a better chance at. What safteys are you thinking about?</p>
