<p>Hi everyone, my names Hannah, I am a junior, I would love to go to Georgetown but I don't think my academic stats are all that good. Please let me know what you all think.</p>
<p>FYI I want to go into international relations focusing more on international development as well as Psychology</p>
<p>Academic:
I have a 3.64 gpa (my freshman and sophomore years brought me down a bit)
I took the acts plus writing and got a 27 but I am retaking it in June and hoping for a 29+
I am taking the sats this Saturday as well as June and I am hoping for somewhere in the range of 1800+
I took German for three years (as well as two in middle school) but am not planning on continuing senior year
I am in all honors classes and maintain a solid b+ To a average in all my classes
I am taking APUSH now and am maintaining a b+ average
I am signed up for AP government as well as AP psych next year</p>
<p>Extra Curriculars:
I was in my schools deca club and competed for two years.
I participate in fundraisers organized by my church
I went to work on Heifer Farm for a week with my church last summer (it is a globally active farm that teaches students about the difficulties of living in third world countries)
I plan on going to South Dkota in August this year to work with a team on the development of the Lakota tribe. (Both socially and physically)</p>
<p>Athletics:
I am 5'4 and a rower
I go to a very good club that sent many boats that placed at youth nationals last spring.
I am trying for a spot in our varsity quad this spring that will have a good chance at placing in nationals
I have a 7:37 2k as of now but we are doing another test next week.</p>
<p>It is my dream to row for a school like Georgetown please let me know if I have a chance.
If you have any other college suggestions that would also be helpful. </p>
<p>Have you contacted the coach yet? He or she is the one who can tell you more from your sports. In general, academically, they require atheletes to have a bminumum of SAT 1300 ( Math & Verbal: only parts they look at), and better to have over 700 for each part, if you are not a star athlete. They also require 3 SAT subject tests. </p>
<p>Can look at the ivies as well, as the academic requirement for athletes is similiar.</p>

I have not contacted the coach because i want to have more options aswell. I never really looked Into any of the ivies because I never thought I had enough academic strength. Although I do know if I were to have a choice at the ivies I would prefer Brown.</p>
<p>Hannahrower-
Are you a lightweight or open weight rower? At 5’4" the coach may feel you may be getting about as much power as you can out of a smaller frame. Most DI open/heavy weight coaches want their recruits to be at least 5’9"/5’10". They’d prefer them to be even taller. 7:37 is, however, a very recruitable time for a lightweight woman and I would expect you to get some interest. I would email the coach with your current information. If you improve your erg time you can always send an update.</p>
<p>Whoever said you have to have a 1300 M+R is wrong. I’m currently a freshman and I know some athletes with much lower sat scores that were recruited. I definitely think you have a chance but I’m not sure we recruit a lot of rowers because I know a lot of people row for the first time here</p>
<p>SAT 1300 is just a guildline. Again, the coach will know and inform you more. Depending on your sports, the AI can vary and , and also depends on how good you are in your sports. I am sure some recruits have under 1300 on SAT.But very likely, the coach will tell you the same. There are prospects that score over 1300 that are not recruited. The higher the scores, the better stand you have. Just try your best. </p>
<p>Hannahrower, Check the athletics website under rowing and see if there’s a recruiting questionnaire or e-mail the coach directly to say that you’re interested. That being said,definitely try and get your gpa up a little and do very well on your SAT and/or ACT. Georgetown is a competitive school academically and lots of kids with higher stats than what you currently have get rejected. Do something unique in your EC’s and also do community service. </p>
