<p>Thats great news...I was on the Georgetown forum earlier, and most of the people, including almost all the people that got admitted, were only in 3 or 4 AP/IB classes....is 8 or 9 like I have an unusually high number?</p>

4

<p>anyone????</p>

<p>Unusually high at Georgetown? I think not. Get over yourself. PS my high school's average ACT was a 24.9 last year, one of the highest in the nation, so your school is hardly "highly competitive."</p>

<p>Get good grades and move into the top decile, and then you'll have a better chance at Dartmouth and Georgetown. As it is, you can get into NYU.</p>
