<p>Please let me know what you think my chances at Gtown are, and any of the other top 20 schools. Thanks</p>
<p>Are you applying to Georgetown because it's Georgetown, or because it's a T25 University?</p>
<p>In any case, you need to specify which school you're applying to.</p>
<p>No, Georgetown is my number one option as i visited the campus earlier this year and loved everything about it. By the way im most likely applying to SFS</p>
<p>SFS is the most competitive school at georgetown...I would say that while your SAT score is good, getting it above 2200 would help. What other APs have you taken? Your senior year schedule is quite impressive, tho.
Your athletic involvement sounds great--and the fact that you've worked at a doctor's office is nice. But are you planning on continuing medicine...at SFS???? I looked at your ECs, and I feel that they point more at a medical profession or something...although you are involved in model congress, student council, etc., the committment level doesn't look too high.
I'm sorry for being harsh, but I don't know if SFS is exactly what you're looking for if you're really interested in medicine.</p>
<p>what about Georgetown college is that less competitive?</p>
<p>yes, i think it would be slightly less competitive, though not by much. are you interested in medicine? maybe you could try their nursing school (???)</p>
<p>Yeah, I would say apply to the Nursing + Health Studies School...Not as competitive in admissions and their Human Science major is great for med school preperation--alot of intensive human bio (anatomy/etc) plus chem and others...After all, it'll be the degree from Georgetown that'll look good on the college app, not SFS, not college, not NHS,etc.</p>
<p>If you like the IR focus of SFS but are also interested in health care, NHS has an awesome major in International Health. However, I stress don't apply to NHS as an easy route into Georgetown, you MUST be able to show in your application that the program in NHS you are applying to is a great fit for your interests. Judging by ur EC's International Health looks like it could fit that bill. Remember admission rates to all four colleges at Gtown were within 2% of each other this past year, and SAT ranges were within about 50 points among all 4 colleges. NHS is not a backdoor into gtown, if your not interested in pursuing some type of healthcare in college don't apply to NHS, apply to the school that you can demonstrate interests you the most.</p>
<p>I agree with mikey101</p>
