<p>^Obviously an 18 wouldn’t be accepted, and probably not a 25, but it’s not usually only because of test scores. If someone is scoring an 18 that means there’s no way they’re getting good grades, so it adds up like that.</p>
<p>For example, with a 29 ACT and basically a 4.0 GPA and top-notch ECs I’d bet I have a similar if not better chance than someone with a 32 ACT with a 3.7 and no ECs. You can’t just judge scores as the top factor because it simply isn’t the case.</p>
<p>Thank you, LostInCommunity.</p>
<p>LIC–I would argue that they would reject someone on the basis of the 18 alone without having to look at his or her anything else. And for argument’s sake, I know kids with above 4.0s who have gotten 25 and belows on ACTs, so it doesn’t necessarily add up like that. GPA and ACT are not always correlative at all schools. I’d say a school like Georgetown would take the kid with the 32, the high class rank, and the top-notch ECs. </p>
<p>I believe test scores (not just ACT, by the way), GPA/class rank, ECs, essays, recommendations, interview, etc. are ALL very important. Georgetown is one of the top schools in the world, and they can afford to be that picky.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if Georgetown lets applicants know their decision before mid-December?</p>
<p>Alexcbalboa–I never heard that to be the case. Did you hear that somewhere or are you just wondering?</p>
<p>Wiz: I think what you’re saying is correct. However, your initial assertion was that they could reject people on the basis of SAT scores alone. Which is not true. G’town and other top schools look at the application as a whole- sometimes one strength can make up for a weakness, sometimes it can’t. But, the most definitely don’t reject people on one weakness alone, it’s almost always a collection of multiple weaknesses. I could be wrong, but at least that’s what my impression of the Georgetown Admissions process is.</p>
<p>Mav: Fair enough.</p>
<p>How does Georgetown stack up against the other schools you all are applying to?</p>
<p>I really love love love Georgetown and would love to have the opportunity to go. With that in mind, I am also applying to more “reach” schools like Princeton and UPenn, which both have strong programs in IR.</p>
<p>Georgetown’s great for IR especially because it’s in DC</p>
<p>and thats why i applied ea there! haha</p>
<p>32 days… acceptance would make my year</p>
<p>Going to SFS would make me so happy. :D</p>
<p>me too. I only applied to one other school ea, so if I get at least 1 acceptance I’m going to have a party.</p>
<p>same!
do you guys know when they usually email you if anything is missing from ur application? I haven’t gotten any emails from them yet about it, but I’m thinking of calling the admissions office just in case to check and make sure all parts of my application are in…</p>
<p>Don’t do anything unless there is something still missing from the checklist on your account on Tuesday. Have you checked your account?</p>
<p>wait… how do you check your account?? omg i feel so clueless lol</p>
<p>Sorry I’m mixing up schools. But if you go back to the application form, if you submitted it online you can check submitted materials.</p>
<p>will you send me the link? Im not sure where on the website you are talking about… thank you!</p>
