Chances/What to Work On

Colleges and Universities A-Z Georgetown University

<p>I just started my junior of high school, and currently in 26th out of 399.
SAT Chem: 760
took PSAT as a sophomore and got a 196.
Active Boy Scout, ready to reach Eagle Scout around spring or so. Because of this stopped playing sports in order to be more active in scouts(call me crazy). Puerto Rican/Irish.
Currently taking 3 AP classes all of my other classes are advanced. Baptized catholic but because of divorce and my mom becoming episcopalian(plus dad in other state) i go to one church every other weekend, didnt give enough oppurtunity to go through confirmation.
Spanish Honor Society. In clubs at school. Plan on taking one or two of the following in addition to Chemistry SAT: Math II, Biology, or Spanish. Doesn't help me getting in but fyi if/once i go to Georgetown i plan on becoming confirmed while there(love the church just no oppurtunity) What do I need to get on SATs and what rank do i need to move to? Thanks if you answer you have no idea(maybe you do) of how much this means to me.</p>

<p>Don't know if it matters: plan on getting biochem major and then go on to maybe Albany Nanotech for nanobiotechnology masters</p>

<p>o yea btw albeit it was no a catholic church i was/am heavily involved with my mom's episcopla church: altar boy,taught sunday school, soup kitchen, volunteer work in keeping up grounds</p>

<p>At this point...I have no idea what are my top schools that I want to go to are, but it is important that I have catholic universities to choose from......I could use the feedback and help me to decide how much i should work on</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>I'd say that you are moving in the right direction, but it is really hard to determine your chances as of now. You're SAT I is probably around a 1300 according to your psats, maybe even a little better, which isn't bad but really doesnt put you in the top of the applicant pool at georgetown. I would work on getting your SATs up and working on leadership and community service. LEADERSHIP and COMMUNITY SERVICE are very important admission factors for georgetown, so if you could run for president of your class or leader of your pact in the scouts it couldn't hurt your chances. Hope that I could be of help</p>
