<p>So… how much will my rank (27/608) hurt me if my SAT is 720CR 780Math</p>
<p>lewced, I really hope that being a URM helps a lot because that is what I am counting on to help me! I’m a Hispanic applicant. My SAT scores were even lower than yours =P I am really riding on my essays and my ECs. Best of luck to both of us!</p>
<p>The SAT score being so important is the only thing that really worries me, I felt great about the interviews, essays, and the rest of my application. How important do you guys think the interview really is though?</p>
<p>My other schools are dickinson, northwestern, uchicago, penn, brown, and one other disclosed school that is such a reach I won’t mention it.</p>
<p>If a school has no ranking system, how does Georgetown take that? Ironically, they notoriously do not accept students from my school…</p>
<p>@prettyawesome: that puts you in the top 5% so i would hope that’s a good place to be…my school doesn’t rank but does a distribution graph so technically they can only tell that i’m within the top 20% and outside the top 1% 
(though they’ll be able to tell that i’m at least in the top 10% so i don’t think it’ll help me but hopefully it won’t hurt me)</p>
<p>@goalstop- I wish that were completely true.
@PrettyAwesome27- If you go to an average school it could hurt. If its competitive or the lower rank was due to grades earlier in your high school career that might be less painful.</p>
<p>The anticipation is killing me! It is times like this that I wish it were a Harry Potter marathon on ABC Family.</p>
<p>My interview was awkward because even though she assured me it was causal, each answer I gave was just followed by a “yes” or a “no” or a “ok” and then the next question. </p>
<p>And I wouldn’t say it’s easier to get in from a catholic school… At mine only two kids were accePted with below 100 averages, not counting athletes.</p>
<p>How much does being a legacy count at Georgetown (grandfather)?</p>
<p>Yeah… I kinda have a downward trend. But I take/have taken 8/11 AP classes offered at my school. And no, there’s noting special about my school so I hope that the rest of my application can overshadow my GPA/rank</p>
<p>@purpledogs</p>
<p>My school doesn’t have one either. But they do ask what the valedictorians GPA is on their school report sheet. And I saw numbers where Georgetown “estimated” the amount of kids in the top 10% of their class and it was something astronomically high. But I have a feeling they might be lenient withtheir “estimations”</p>
<p>Who here thinks that the essays are more important that SAT scores? I think that the essays should be more important than test scores. I mean, my essays reveal more about what kind of person I am than my terrible SAT scores…</p>
<p>Hmm we don’t do valedictorians either. My school has done away with all that for quite some time, finding it wasn’t conducive to the students’ mental health haha</p>
<p>11 APs= pretty good school. Did you get the less than stellar grades in subjects other than your major?
@reallyconfused12- they both serve a purpose… tho I wish they would do like England and allow subject scores (AP/SAT II) for admissions. It would be alot nicer to the science kids who can read a chart and do a titration better than comprehend fiction.</p>
<p>Yes but Georgetown requires the school list the highest GPA in the class. Unless your guidance counselor just leaves that section blank.</p>
<p>i don’t have school tomorrow… i swear i am going to just wait at my mailbox haahaha</p>
<p>haha. My school’s valedictorian has a GPA of 4.2 and mine is 4.0</p>
<p>Unlimited South Park on Netflix=not worried about exams+mind partially off of Georgetown admissions.</p>
<p>Go watch CNN Heroes, it has helped me forget my first world problems and be hopeful about tomorrow. :)</p>
<p>Awwww. what a hippie answer ;)</p>
