<p>I got in and your numbers are better than mine. You seem like you have a good shot at Gtown but there is no guarentee.</p>

3

<p>^^ agreed, but a lot spectacular stat wise applicants were deferred from the EA pool. So it is quite hard to say =]</p>

4

<p>Totally true. They don't just look at numbers, because that does not really show the image of a person. They put weight on your essays.</p>

5

<p>may i ask how you got a 765 on an SAT II score? </p>

<p>ditto to what Rustic said, at least with Georgetown I really think they look for unique aspects along with stellar stats. Emphasize something irregular about yourself and you'll be fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.</p>
