<p>do i have any change of shooting for georgetown?</p>

<p>Everything seems decent, but that PSAT score sticks out big time. A 166 would be a 1660/2400, and that is probably 450 points too low for Georgetown. You'll definitely have to study for the real SAT.</p>

<p>Do you have any suggestions as to what I can do to improve in other aspects besides the sat's in case I don't meet the sat standards for Georgetown?</p>

<p>I think your class rank is also kind of low for georgetown, try hard to bring yourself into the top 10%. Study hard and do really well on your SAT IIs.</p>

<p>You can also try to be as involved at your school as you possibly can. I see that you're on 2 sports teams and in 3 clubs, but definitely try to show an interest for your intended major through your activities. If you send a 1660 SAT I score, you will almost need to cure cancer to get in.</p>

<p>look into the ACT. I found ACT > SAT. Barron's > all. Good luck!</p>

<p>I'll second that- I made 2220 SAT but 34 ACT (go figure!).</p>
