<p>I think the 1300/1600 SAT is a big problem at GU or any comparably competitive arts and science school.
My advice would be to apply to the engineering school of a comparably competitive university which offers both A&S and engineering (Northwestern, Tufts, Vanderbilt and several others), where qualified women engineering candidates are actually sought after. Once you’re in, if you don’t like engineering, then switch to the A&S school.</p>
<p>Georgetown is much less SAT-conscious than many of its peer schools, and your other testing (achievement) is good. I would not let your SAT-I scores deter you from applying. Try retaking the SAT I or consider the ACT (many individuals who perform well on achievement tests (SAT II, AP exams) have better luck with the ACT).</p>
<p>hoyasaxa1: just curious about your contention that GT is “much less SAT conscious than many of its peer schools”,what is the basis of your statement? hanks</p>
<p>At Georgetown, admissions decisions are determined by admissions committees. Each school at Georgetown has its own admissions committee (some schools at Georgetown have multiple admissions committees–for instance, the College has separate committees for humanities/social sciences, premed, natural sciences). Each committee consists of multiple members, each of whom has the same voting power: admissions officers, faculty members, deans, and students are on each committee. Each member rates each applicant on a 10 point scale: 5 points possible for academics and 5 points possible for personal. The academic evaluation looks at course selection, grades in those courses, class ranking, recommendations, and standardized testing. The personal evaluation looks at essays, extracurricular activities/leadership/work/volunteerism, recommendations, and alumni interview. In general, for most committee members, standardized testing is the least relevant academic qualification and is noteworthy only at the extremes (for Georgetown, that generally means SAT-CR and Math Totals above 1550 or below 1300). If the SATs are in the 1300-1550 range, the committee members tend to focus more on the other academic aspects of the application. Often, the specific testing relevant to the program/school is more heavily emphasized in the academic rating–e.g. SAT-II scores in foreign language for the School of Foreign Service or Faculty of Languages and Linguistics applicants, science/math SAT-II for premeds/natural sciences and Nursing/Health Studies applicants, etc…</p>
<p>Because of the equal weighting of academic and personal ratings, it is VERY common to find individuals with perfect SAT scores and #1 class ranks denied admission while their classmates at the same high schools with lower scores/ranks accepted (obviously with more compelling personal aspects). Also, because each school at Georgetown has its own admissions committee, applicants from the same high school are not necessarily competing against each other (unless they are applying to the same program) and may be reviewed by entirely different individuals/committees.</p>
<p>Great insight to to the admissions process , have you worked or interned at Georgetown admission?</p>
