<p>I want to know if I have any sort of chance at Georgetown. Please be honest.
I'm a junior at an extremely competitive private high school.</p>
<p>Citizenship: German (my first language is German, my second language is English)</p>
<p>GPA:
3.93 unweighted.
My school does not rank, but I would be in the top 10%.</p>
<p>Rigor of classes:
Toughest curriculum possible at my school. We have a minimal number of honors and AP classes offered (last year in my history class we got 3 hours of homework a night and that wasn't even honors). We also can't take APs before junior year. But regardless. Honors: Chemistry, Latin IV, American Literature. AP: US History, Calculus AB. PLanned courses for next year: AP Latin V, Honors World Literature, AP Biology, class at Princeton University in history (I need to apply, but usually all applicants from my school get in)</p>
<p>Test scores:
PSAT: 207 (69 critical reading, 68 math, 70 writing)
SAT II: 760 in German
I plan to take the SAT II in Writing, Math II, and US History.
I plan to take the ACT. I got a 30 on my first practice test, and the class is supposed to improve your score by 4 points, so I'm hoping for a 32-34.</p>
<p>Academic Honors:
New Jersey Governor's School nominee (haven't gotten results back yet)
National Latin Exam- 3 time gold-medalist
Red-Ribbon Certificate (akin to Honor Roll) received at end of the year- both 9th and 10th grade
Certificate of Outstanding Academic Achievement: Algebra II, Latin II, Biology, Latin III, English 10 (British Literature), Modern European History
Certificate of High Achievement for National Science Olympiad in Biology
Science Bowl- semifinalists in New Jersey in 2006 competition
We also get many more honors at the end of the year, as my school awards different university and subject awards, and I should get some of those.</p>
<p>Sports:
Tennis- 3 years on junior varsity team, including 2 as number 1 singles and doubles. "Most Improved Player Award" in 10th grade.
Tae Kwon Do- 1st Degree Black Belt.
