<p>Hi!</p>

<p>I'm a rising senior and I've been dreaming of going to Georgetown since my freshman year. Unfortunately...my gpa doesn't exactly look like a G-town admit. My School is an extremely (EXTREMELY) competitive prep school in Missouri (we have the top scores in the state) and I'm a white female. My school doesn't do a 4.0 gpa, but my grades go something like this: </p>

<p>Freshman Year:
Concert Choir-A
English 9-A
Spanish II-A-
World History to 1500-B+
Biology-B+
Algebra II Accelerated-B+</p>

<p>Sophomore Year (easily my worst year...it was a nightmare)
Concert Choir-A
Visual Arts foundations-A
Spanish III-A-
English 10-B+
World History post 1500-B (My college counselor will talk about this in my rec...hardest teacher in the school, the teacher loved me and said my B was "commendable")
Chemistry-B
Pre-Calculus Accelerated-B- (probably talking about this in my essay)</p>

<p>Junior Year
Chorale-A
English 11-A
APUSH-A-
AP Calculus AB-B+ or B (I was right on the cusp)
AP Environmental Science-B
Spanish IV-B</p>

<p>Senior Year Classes:
AP statistics, AP gov, AP Spanish, AP English, physics, chorale</p>

<p>APs:
Junior Year-AP Calc AB, APUSH, APES, AP lang&comp
Senior Year-Gov, Statistics, Spanish, Literature</p>

<p>E.Cs: Madrigal Singers (sophomore year--), Varsity cheerleading (all 4 years, winner of highest award junior year, captain senior year), Varsity dance (freshman year), Pep Club (Secretary junior year, President senior year), Liberals club (VP senior year), international club, member of International Thespian Society, in all 3 musicals so far, Headmaster's distinctive achievement award (3x)</p>

<p>Recs from my junior english teacher who loved me and from my AP Calc teacher who also loved me and is going to write about my work ethic--I'm not a math kid and I worked REALLY hard for that B. </p>

<p>I was a summer Hoya last year (I did the sports industry management program) and I'm looking to do something in some sort of communications...probably applying to the college. </p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
