<p>I have a very keen interest in international relations, with a concentration in German. Will coming from a Jesuit HS help my chances at all? Finally, what would you suggest doing in the next year and a half to boost my chances of being admitted to Georgetown?</p>

<p>You’ve got good ECs, but definitely try raising your ACT score a few points, and improving your GPA. Is that weighted/unweighted, and what is the GPA scale at your school? Also, are you taking challenging courses?</p>

<p>I don’t know specifics for Georgetown, I’m applying there also, but you’ll need those things in general for admission there.</p>
